Besides, new cars depreciate - why would you want to lose value like crazy once you drive it home?

WRX's hardly depreciate. There's a 2011 with 65k(NO MORE WARRANTY) on it that just sold for 21k and 08's still selling near the 20's.

I'm not trying to be a subaru fan boy here but
The WRX was a second faster than the BRZ around a track, the BRZ was 2 seconds slower than a Miata but with a tire change(with cheaper tires than stock) the BRZ beat both. If the BRZ had some more power it would be one of the best bang for the buck cars ever made.
Just went to the dealer today. 2.9 % financing on WRX's, 10 week build time.
Scion has the FRS and is cheaper than the BRZ but no standard navigation and has $1000 off for being a recent grad. If you don't want a boring FWD car but also don't want a V6 Mustang or Camaro, these are the best options hand's down.
Just remember BRZ/FRS = sports car WRX/STI = rally car.
