Since I own a WRX, I'd like to hear you comments comparing both.
The WRX has a lot of turbo lag. It has apparently been tuned more for top end performance than low end torque but engine performance is probably an area that is easiest to fix with these turbo cars.
The WRX also shows a considerable amount of understeer with the crappy front tires howling and squealing too easily. One friend described it as plowing like a pig. OTOH, it's a no brainer doing some serious trail braking when compared with 2WD cars. My old Saab 9000 felt more neutral, but alas did not transition between understeer and oversteer very smoothly. How does the 9-3 compare? Do you think the 9-3's brakes would hold up to a few hot laps on the track? The WRX's brakes feel suspect.
I'll probably check out the interior space when I see the car.
