from one bugeye owner to the other, THIS. ^

(although yours is soooo sexy.. mine just has an RA 5spd and some other fun parts/tune on the stock td04/ej205)

New generations look so horrid. Even the GR/V gens retained a small ounce of flavor.. albeit they looked a little too mazdaspeed3ish

And when we finally stopped at the end of our run, him and the rest of the group took an eternity to finally catch up. They are quick in a straight line but I feel that most of the driving fun is lost in that car.. Just my opinion though. I really should have an AWD car where I live but I just love my sports cars
"Quick in a straight line".. uhh bud all gen WRXes are average or slow in the straights, all things considered and relative to other sport offerings in that price range.

As @totopo so eloquently pointed out, it's a different kind of drive and if you can tune out some of the understeer, AWD will smash the RWD on most track configurations, apples to apples, all else equal
