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.

I cross shopped the FRS, BRZ, Genesis coupe, Mazda3, Mazdaspeed3, WRX, Jetta GLI, and Mustang V6. Focus ST would have been on the list but I can't wait for it to come out.
Basically, I was looking for a $25k or under daily driver that wouldn't bore me to death. There's plenty of options if you keep an open mind and don't try to pigeonhole the cars into having ONE function.
Getting an FRS btw.
