Road tested a Genesis V6 R Spec before buying a FRS, more HP and torque and suits the heavier chassis better. Good straight line speed but that's about it, shifter was horrible and brakes were disappointing for Brembos. Only about a 2k difference in price and if your thinking new better grab one quick, the 2.0t has been dropped for 2015...

Get the wrx. I test drove a mustang GT before I drove the BRZ and didn't look back. I also test drove the WRX and would have ended up with that if my finances were better. Luck for me I ended up with the brz.

My gf drives a fiesta ST and the Ford service department sucks. They won't let her get her first oil change done early. They are very corporate and it is unpleasant to deal with them. Much more love from Subaru dealerships.

My '11 WRX hatch on Cobb OTS 93 octane tune was a beast. Well worth the cost of the Accessport. Could only imagine Stg 2.

Fuel is expensive in Canada and was a big motivator to trade up to a 2015 WRX. That and the interior.
