Yep, and they are fantastic cars. I'm really enjoying mine. Ive put about 4k miles on it since late December, and have nothing but good to say about the car.

WRX makes a lot of sense for a DD. Insurance on an STI is terrible, more than double what it is for the WRX. With almost the same amount of power, the WRX was a no-brainer for me.

Different. Less of a sports car feel, and of course turbo power feels very different than NA. It's kind of odd-- the WRX feels more stable, but also more tossable. It has the go-kart feel, with a bit more stability. It's maybe a little slower than the Z at 10/10, but feels a lot quicker at 7-9/10ths. I miss having RWD sometimes in the WRX when I feel like goofing off, but AWD is a beast for most of the time.

If I was gonna get another hatchwagon, (actually miss my Mazdspeed3 a little... just a little) this is the way I'd go:
