I've had my BRZ for 3 years now - and a grand total of 7,500 miles driven. Its a fun car but I find myself driving my bugeye WRX more often, just out of comfort and ease of driving. (and better back seat access to belt my kid in).

Wondering if I should trade my BRZ for a new WRX or even a 2004-2007 STi?

Bought my '03 WRX 11+ years ago (!) and have always liked the STi, especially the 2005 model. My WRX is a wagon - the handling of the BRZ greatly trumps that of the WRX but the STi has 300hp, a 6 speed, and back doors. Hmm. Cost about $20k for a nice low mileage one.

Then again, the new WRX is modern, decent power, more rear seat room, and includes a new car warranty. Cost though is $27k.

I'd be keeping my '03 in either case bc Subaru isn't making a WRX wagon anymore!
