The only other car I seriously checked out that hasn't been mentioned is the Fiat Abarth, best sounding 4 cyl. I've ever heard and loads of fun but you'll have to live with the inherent limitations of the platform (small, not designed for sportiness, FWD, very little space for wrenching), but with MOPAR support I have a hunch the mods will be much heavier duty than what we'll get from TRD or STI.

Yeah it's a Fiat, but if your considering a GTI, Mini, Focus/Fiesta/Mazda2/3 it should be test driven at least. Better mpg and stowing space than an FRS/BRZ and just about the same amount of passenger space, similar amenities and if you find an agreeable dealer significantly cheaper.
