I really enjoyed my 2011 WRX but I felt I compromised. I've always been a huge fan of the Evo and the look of the X in Wicked White is just...well wicked

The much stronger transmission, engine, brakes and superior handling was well worth the admission and I just had to save up some and make the plunge. And the Recaro seats are just awesome The updated interior with the piano black gloss trim and leather door sills and arm rests are well done too.

There wasn't much not to like on the latest gen WRX but if I had to name a few it would be the shifter, the somewhat "floaty" handling and the infamous ringland issue (although these did crop up more on the STI side). Bang for buck they can't be beat but if you can afford the X there is no comparison on the performance side IMO.
