This guy has a point.

From the article:

Should you buy the Subaru WRX or the big brother STI? Is 2015 Subaru WRX STI better than the regular WRX? The 2015 Subaru STI features a 2.5L boxer four producing 305 horsepower while the 2015 Subaru WRX has a more modern 2.0L producing 268 horsepower and peak torque at a low 2,000 RPM.

Well yeah, most people don't track or modify their cars.  Most people convince themselves they need more than they really do.  That's why you see full-size 4wd pickups dropping kids off at school and old men driving Corvettes and Ferraris to play golf.

 

We have both a WRX and STI in our family.  We have raced both, used both as ski taxis and used both on the daily commute (Granted we have an '02 WRX and an '07 STI, this presenter was comparing the new stuff).  If you like cars and enjoy the driving experience, there is no doubt that the STI will make you happier than the WRX ever could for innumerable reasons.

 

If, like this host suggests, you just want an AWD car with above industry-average performance, the WRX is far and away the clear winner of the two.
