I ended up buying a BRZ as a garagemate to my WRX.
MrBreeze and DarkPira7e, I actually find the BRZ to feel 'cheaper' than the WRX. I like both of them, but probably due to the lightness of construction, the BRZ feels more flimsy and rudimentary than the WRX. It doesn't bother me, I was looking for a more elemental 1960s feeling sports car, but it might not be my first choice for a long drive. The WRX does have the rev hang you mentioned, but it doesn't bother me (that much), all turbo engines seem to have it (though the rock-hard stiff and choppy ride of the WRX makes that not a great choice for long drives either).
gtpvette, I am totally with on YOLO, and the importance of guys our age to appreciate the time we have left. The only certainty about life is that it's shorter than you think, and we all have less time left than we think. I looked hard and thought a lot about a Vette. But, She Who Must Always Be Obeyed in All Things has forbidden me from getting a Corvette. She tolerates (usually...) my car obsession and actually encourages me to buy fun cars. But the only cars she has forbidden me from buying are British cars (too many of them in the past have threatened our marriage) and Corvettes (unless it's a pre-1967). Happy wife, happy life, so I must obey the higher power...
