WRX makes a lot of sense for a DD. Insurance on an STI is terrible, more than double what it is for the WRX. With almost the same amount of power, the WRX was a no-brainer for me.

Different. Less of a sports car feel, and of course turbo power feels very different than NA. It's kind of odd-- the WRX feels more stable, but also more tossable. It has the go-kart feel, with a bit more stability. It's maybe a little slower than the Z at 10/10, but feels a lot quicker at 7-9/10ths. I miss having RWD sometimes in the WRX when I feel like goofing off, but AWD is a beast for most of the time.
