Having owned a BRZ and now a 15 WRX I completely agree with this. It's a lot of car for the money for sure, but it is not a light RWD, sportscar. Nor is it trying to be. That said, I think Subaru learned a lot from the BRZ and incorporated some of that in the WRX. Very happy with the car I have performance springs coming, and some simple mods to the shifter (stop and bushings) made a huge difference.
My biggest pet peeve with the car is the seating height. The car has the same ground clearance as the BRZ but you feel like you are sitting so much higher and less engaged with the car. One 15 WRX owner dropped in BRZ seats and said it made a huge difference.
I am hoping to own one of each, just have to wait to grab an FT86 when they drop around $15K or less.
