The Mazdaspeed, except for being only FWD, is WAY more car than a stock WRX.
Its horsepower rating is sandbagged quite a bit. I drove one of these head
to head at a mazda/subie dealer the day I bought my TT a year and a half ago.
The Mazda felt like a true sports sedan, ergonomic, nice seats, great
feeling brakes, and a little-engine-that-could. I drove the WRX immediately after
the Mazda and the WRX felt SO lame that I took it off my list. I knew I
couldnt be happy with a stock WRX and to bring it up to par I woulda spent about
$3 grand minimum. BTW, the Mazdaspeed was about $4000 less than the subie.
Needless to say, a two year old Audi Certified TT225Q won out that day, it
was in the same price range as the Subie, but there is still a place in my
heart for that lil' mazdaspeed.
