3 The BRZ gets way better fuel efficiency 32mpg BRZ and 19 WRX. Averages
4 Significantly less power in the BRZ

Every time I go out I take the BRZ because its a lot more fun, unless I am carrying more then one passenger

This almost exactly what I did 07 WRX to BRZ. I honestly don't really even miss the power of the WRX. On e85 I'm almost trapping the same speed at the 1/4 actually in my BRZ 96 vs 98 mph anyways. Its that illusion of low end torque that makes the WRX feel much faster but it had no top end power. WRX handles way worse at autoX not even close there.

Gas mileage for me:

WRX got 19 city/26 highway.
BRZ gets 27 city/32 highway.

No change in insurance.
