2015 STI vs AMG CLA vs M235I
3rd Place: Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG
Big on speed, style, and price; small on emotion.
2nd Place: BMW M235i
A well-balanced rear-driver in need of options for pizzazz.
1st Place: Subaru WRX STI
Launch Edition: Loud, fast, surefooted, amenity-packed—it typifies fun.

Could you imagine ? what the reporter said was exactly what happened to me
Boy Grin from ear to ear, fingers tingling, and heart beat raised.
I was totally surprised by how good it was, despite having owned a fully modified VR4 before @ 500HP and 450 lbs/ft torque at 3800 RPM.
The only thing I worried about was the reliability "Ring land" issue from the EJ25. But some people told me that I can replace the EJ25 ways cheaper than either the AMG or the M235 engine LOL.
Now, this curious me to see how the Lexus RC will perform. There is nothing better than if.....
Subaru hand the STI Platform to Lexus, and Lexus hand them the most reliable engine they can have.
I knew they did something similar with the 86
Either that, or they can ask Lexus to help them make better piston materials in their EJ25

I personally would pick the BMW.
Much better overall build quality and materials than Subaru for not much more $$$.
Engine can be easily tuned for more power.
RWD > AWD for pure handling
To me the standard WRX is more attractive bec its a much better value than STI without losing much in performance.
