I have a 2012 WRX and love it. I chose it over the FRS. I miss the FR layout but the WRX delivers so much in its own ways. Now a days, there are even less reasons to get the STI over the WRX. To the wheels, there's only a 20hp difference and the wrx weighs about 100lbs less than the sti.

The only issue I had was the intercooler to throttle body hose come loose, which is a common issue due to the crap design of the coupler. It happened driving from AZ to OK and I had no tools to fix it and was in the middle of nowhere. Kept going for the last 400 miles and had no issue. Fixed it when I got home.

Other than that, the car has been awesome and it is well worth the money it costs. Such small changes can make such a huge difference.

EDIT: we just had snow here during Christmas and it was funny to see lifted trucks and SUVs limping down the road while I cruised by them without any issues whatsoever.
