I guess it depends what makes you happier. I like hard cornering more than straight line acceleration. I test drove a Mustang GT too before I bought the BRZ just to make sure pure acceleration wasn't what I really wanted. It put a smile on my face, but it didn't corner that well (better than the older ones at least though). I guess the STi is a good medium but I still just personally prefer the BRZ. My current STi is also a 2005 Impreza wagon with an 04 JDM STi version 8 swap. So maybe doesn't quite handle like newer STi sedan would.. Although I have owned a 2003 WRX that put down 2014 STi numbers on the dyno and driven the 2013 STi sedan. Still I just love the little 2700lb car feel of the BRZ above all.
