The "win" for a reliable WRX…
The "win" for a reliable WRX will always be overshadowed by the HUGE "loss" of not having the STI. Coming from a VA STI, and looking to buying a VB STI, the cancelation of the STI steered me straight to Toyota's GR Corolla. Add the horrendous looks of the new WRX, and the fantastic job Toyota did, my Circuit Edition looks phenomenal, and spoiler alert, it's better than my STI, in every way, not just looks. I'm very happy with my decision to not downgrade to the VB WRX from the VA STI. There's a few colleagues at work that park their WRX's together, I always park my GRC with them. We get a good chuckle out of it. But they've all told me on seperate occasions that they'd trade for the GRC given the opportunity.
