BRZ
FRS
Mustang
Focus ST
Genesis Coupe
Fiat 500 Abarth
WRX

WRX- too big, ugly, thirsty, and exspensive to insure.
Fiat 500 Abarth- too cheap/chintzy inside
Genesis Coupe- Felt like a big car trying to be a small car instead of just being a small car, the engineering in it felt lazy as well.
Focus ST- Still very much a focus once you get past the excellent Recaros. Didn't want another FWD and it didn't feel "special"
Mustang- Too big/heavy and I hated the "retro" interior.
FR-S- Lack of options/features (HIDS, Keyless start), cheaper interior, Scion badge, No fan of Toyota, overly tail happy suspension, just felt less like an adults car next to the BRZ. Factored In with the fact that Subaru will deal on a BRZ compared to the pure price garbage the BRZ won in the end.
