I don't get asked these questions because I don't encounter a whole lot of "car people", but since you asked.

The base WRX is 30% more than the base GT86 (Evo might be around the same as the WRX, I can't be bothered checking), and I got the base 86 because the more expensive model didn't have anything I wanted. It was basically heavier, for more money.

IMO the WRX is damn ugly, seems to be getting more so every year. Ditto for the Evo. Too many electronics too, I wanted a "driver's car".

I dislike turbos too, I think of it as cheating, The engineering effort that went into the engine appealed to me. Although I hear the new WRX has a turboed FA20?

And the Cayman isn't even an option in Australia, way too expensive.
