A little while ago I decided to give up on my search for a fourth gen. I was interested in two other cars that oddly aren't even close. I was interested in a 2012 Mustang gt, Base with 3.73's and Brembo brakes or a 2011 SUbaru WRX sedan( possibly an STI but the price is out of my budget) base with leather seats(the dealer said I could go aftermarket?)

ITS A DRAW! No car is better then the other!!

First I went to see the mustangs, These cars look amazing, a really bold look, paint was nice and the interior was better then what I was expecting from ford but still not all there. The car sounded amazing and air was really cold(duh!). I had to turn down a test drive because I knew I would want it more if I got to test drive it and couldn't test drive a WRX today.

Finally I found a Subaru dealership with a WRX and went to go see it. I walked in the show room and WOW! This car looks amazing!! SO sleek and bold, Paint is nice, wheels are nice, interior is so much nicer then the mustang and quality in general is a little nicer! I loved the seats but the WRX was a limited and priced at 30,000+ which is a combination of the Navigation, sunroof, trim and the fact that these cars are pretty rare and I could have to wait up to 6 months for an STI but a little less for the WRX. I could not test drive this car since it was in the showroom and was not expecting to buy this since it wasn't base.

Pro's of the mustang
Bold style
Bang for the buck
Power!
Better gas mileage
6 to 8 weeks for an order
Roomy driver side interior
6 speed

Cons
Decent interior
Everyone will have one
RWD
small back seat

Pro's of the WRX
4 door
functional back seats
AWD
Price
Interior is amazing
Quality is above average( my friends STI is in BMW territory
Bold and sleek design
Superior handling(from what I read)

Cons of the wrx
Lack of power(stage 2 needed!)
5 speed
Terrible gas mileage(19/25)
wait for ordering one.
Every ricer is going to throw rev's at me

Just thought I would write this up and share with you guys. I know some of us are actual car enthusiasts instead of fbody fan boys!
