See? Ya get hooked! The fact that it's as aerodynamic as a bucket is irrelevant. 
The interior of the WRX is pretty cool, it's just the choice in plastics that could use some love. Anyone who doesn't like those seats is on crack. (Unless you honestly just don't fit in them.)

I don't know about this one...this past weekend at the Texas World Speedway, this ex-S2000 owner with a WRX said he had problems keeping up with the S2000's on the 2.9 mile road course.
He had race tires on the car also.
I know it's 80% driver...but I don't think a stock WRX can hang with a S2000 on some road courses (both cars driven by masterful drivers).

Get a WRX if you want a car for a daily driver. In Atlanta the traffic is hell on the S2K that's why I have my 6 year old Nissan Altima for work. The Clutch on the WRX is softer and more forgiving. In the S2K your left foot will have blisters.

The clutch effort seems REALLY light to me!

From discussions on I-club, the automatic is NOT a full time AWD car, it is primarily FWD, similar in nature to the system in an Audi TT, for example.
Though I could be wrong, I am positive that was the final conclusion over at i-club.

Out of all the cars sent to or made in America, there's only two that I wanted--a WRX and an S 2000. Driving the WRX ruined all my hope and made me think twice about motojournalists' opinions. Out of the box it handled like it looks like it'd handle (high center of gravity, skinny hard squeally tires). I hit the limit of the car immediately and was left with a rental car experience (albeit a fast one) thereafter. And to top it off, the boxer sound sounds like a civic that lost a cylinder.
Capitalism has failed the sports car enthusiast miserably. I've got the $$ and a burning desire to purchase a sub 35K performance car, but nobody makes one that I want sans Honda (and I can't find one in N. CA for under 35K).
However, if I wanted a truck, I'd have, what 35 choices. . . but if I want an imported non-fwd sports car, I've only got four choices--two of them are 'rainbow sticker' cars (TT and Miata).
