Well, why don't you check out the price difference between a base WRX and a WRX Limited with Nav and get back to us. You're right, it shouldn't be $4,000. By rights, it should be more.

Kudos on the well-researched reply. To be honest, a little understeer is kind of appealing to me. If I buy one of the AS1 cars, I will likely be holding on to my NA Miata, and I only really want...

Actually the Miata has pretty high NVH levels, which is probably one of the reasons that most of them, contrary to popular belief, are owned by men.
