Yeah, I think this is what it comes down to. The ST and other hot hatches are a great compromise for the daily driver that is also tracked/autocrossed. They do have great handling when set up properly but the experience of driving them doesn't compare to a proper RWD sports car. This is why I don't really think there is any comparison between them. You either need a practical car like the ST or you don't. If you do, you would never consider the FRS/BRZ, and if you don't, you probably would never the consider the ST. I don't think there will be much cross shopping between them.
