im sure the STi beats the others in practicality and the fun-factor is definitely up there. havent driven or been in the news ones but from what i hear theyre a step up from the previous gen

oh that was bad engurish
mileage WAS a factor in my next car purchase. but i dont want to narrow my purchase to MINI or Fit.
So yea, i removed those two choices.
I'm not looking for a car that gets good mileage. If I want good mileage, I'll ride my bike

Legacy GT would be another good option. I drove the WRX before I got my Legacy and I wasn't excited about the interior. It just seemed cheap to me. It has gotten better, but IMO, the Legacy has a nicer interior for less cost than the STI. It also has the same engine and with a TMIC and turbo can be making simular numbers to the STI.
