Anybody can appreciate the powerful 4-cylinder engine and sharp handling of the Subaru WRX, especially with its new continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). And if you’re the type who wakes up at 3 a.m. to watch World Rally Championship races, shouldn’t you already have a WRX STI in your garage?
The Subaru BRZ and its Scion FR-S twin offer a more classic rear-wheel driving experience, while the Ford Focus ST is a bit less expensive. Also, while not as quick, the Volkswagen Golf R is no slouch, and offers a slightly more refined day-to-day driving experience.
