buuuut STI can fit a baby seat... which means i'd actually get to drive it a lot more.. right now im forced to do must commuting in the wifes honda fit. booooring.
i dont like that the STI is still using that ancient engine.. but it is way faster. and and has a upsides.. big brakes, center diff you can control.
id probably take a WRX due to its new motor.. but the biggest downside to the WRX is smaller brakes, open diffs front and rear, and a viscous coupling center diff... i dont know if i can bring myself to buying one when i know the STI exists.
considering this is a brz forum, im sure i know what everyones going to say.. just thinking out loud i guess..
nice car though. didnt think theyd look that nice in grey

Nothing wrong with considering it, but it depends on what you are going to use it for.
I was looking at both but decided I was not going to buy an ej25, so I would have to wait until they finally put a real engine in the STI. The FA20DIT is having some issues as well, I assume Subaru will figure that out though as time goes on.
The BRZ can fit a baby seat, there is a picture around here somewhere of a twin with two child seats in the back.
If it is just to be a commuting car it is perfect. Gets good gas mileage, fun to drive, cheap on gas,etc. the STI gets awful gas mileage even driven like a grandma because they've screwed with the tune to hit epa regulations rather than actually make the car better.
