If you are looking for an affordable sports sedan with all-weather capability, superb handling, and laudable fuel economy, far be it from us to disapprove of the Subaru WRX. Given its newly available CVT (continuously variable automatic transmission) and added creature comforts, the WRX has become a feasible alternative for non-enthusiasts.
If pure driving excitement takes precedence over straight-line performance, the rear-drive Subaru BRZ or Scion FR-S are worth a closer look. If balancing performance with practicality is more up your alley, the less expensive Ford Focus ST might be the better choice.
