Wrx 2022+ vb

Thinking about trading my brz in… I’ve hit all the roads I wanted to. My secondary vehicle is creeping up into questionable territory. I have 2 dogs and my wife has a 4 door vehicle. I drive 95% highway everyday to work. I think the wrx is up my alley in terms of awd incase I have to drive up north, back seat for whomever and after the warranty is over aftermarket well be flooded with options.

Only other turbo vehicles I have owned is: 89 ford probe gt, 05 neon srt4 mopar stg 3 and a 98 Cummins diesel so I know about the boost game.

Curious to those that have drove one in comparison to 22+ brz. How would you compare the powerband? Even though the wrx weighs + 600lb over brz I feel the turbo’s additional torque would be more lively to drive then the brz? Or is it minuscule? Any other thoughts? (I know go drive one). I would go base model because I don’t care for a tablet and a push button for almost 5000$ more.

Thanks for any input

I'd suggest something less ugly and more reliable. Maybe a lightly used Mk7 GTI.
