I finally got a job after graduating this past summer, and after student loans are done (soon), I will be looking at buying a car.

Potentially I might ride out a year on a ford company lease vehicle, which is nice because my drive to work will be about 100+ miles/day, and would be put on a car I dont own.

Main choices

2009+ subaru wrx.
Pro: 265 hp, awd, lots of stuff to mess around with
Con: its not an sti, I utterly hate the impreza fanboys

2009+ subaru wrx sti
Pro:305 hp, 6spd, better breaks and driving options
Con: its almost 10k more than the wrx

Hyundai Genesis Coupe
Pro: cheap, fun to drive (a friend owns one), did I say cheap?
Con: its a hyundai


Im curious to see the subaru/toyota's ft86 vehicle actually turn out to be, or to see if the the wrx/sti get a facelift in 2011 model year.

Any other cars I have missed or any other suggestions would be great.

definitely a nice review, and as featured I agree with the comparison considering as tested the genesis coupe was 5k more than the mustang and Z was 9k more than it. It also sounds like you get some better suspension bits and better brakes on there and you have a real contender. That and this won't be a switch back bombing vehicle, its going to be a daily driver that given the opportunity can pull some punches

speaking of which it should be in my driveway tomorrow, ill post pictures when I get them
