I don't know about "won". I needed a car with a more useable backseat that can fit three kids and, living in the midwest, AWD was a big plus. Power wise? Yeah the WRX is much faster but you sacrifice handling and sportiness to get there.
The only other cars I cross shopped was the Focus ST and I drove an EVO GSR. There is a new VW GTI coming which should have potential as well along with a Golf R that will offer about 300hp and AWD with a hatchback in Q1 2015.
If you can drive a WRX with a short shifter installed (most dealers sell it this way on the lot, at least they do here in Minnesota) I would drive one back to back with an STI.
