The WRX sport is a little more understated, no fender flares and its a wagon,
they are also cheaper than the sedan and only weigh 70-80 lbs more.  With
all the space and good power she makes a great city car.

I haven't done any real testing but SOTP and just driving around town the
stock WRX pulls hard initially but once going she doesn't feel as impressive.
>From 5-70mph she can drop the SE(stock), barely crawl from the SE-R(int,
exh, & header) and gets walked by the NX (T28 DE). Handling is better
than the SE-R and NX (only strutbars & tires) but doesn't feel as confident
as the SE. The lighter Nissans also have better braking than the 3165 lb Subaru.

IMHO...
