It's a good step foreward, and kind of a testament to Subaru's dedication to performance. The reason they offer it in a hatchback now is largely due to them wanting to shorten the overall length of the vehicle for competition in WRC. The result is a very quick and nimble car with better weight...

Right now the STi is a hatchback because thats the way rally cars are going, but I am sure that eventually Subaru will release a sedan again once they hear from enough people that thats what they want.

Why should I also consider these? X

The MazdaSpeed3 is a sharply styled beast with similar turbo thrills, less turbo lag, and an equally roomy interior; economy is surprising, but front-wheel drive only means that torque steer can give unpleasant driving surprises—especially on less-than-perfect pavement.

Mitsubishi's turbocharged Lancer Ralliart is nearly as fast as the legendary Evo and a good match for the WRX, but its interior doesn't match the WRX's quality, and it, too, suffers from turbo lag.

The Chevrolet Cobalt SS is a surprisingly good performer, but also front-wheel drive; GM's new direct-injected turbo four is blistering and refined, handling is grin-inducing, and the low-rent interior is Avis abysmal.

Dodge's Caliber SRT4 melds a roomy, convenient hatch layout with good performance stats, but refinement is sorely lacking in every sense and the interior is down there with the Cobalt's.

The STi directly competes with the BMW 1-Series and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution.

Compared to the STi, the Evolution is hard-edged, with a firmer ride but handling that's crisper in the tightest corners; the experience is a bit twitchy, and ride quality is barely good enough for daily driving.

The Evolution also has the advantage of a wonderful automatic-clutch manual transmission that's our favorite manu-matic option to date.

The 135i is a worthy competitor, but it has a somewhat cramped interior and rides like a bigger, heavier car; it's remarkably close in size to the 3-Series, and between the two TheCarConnection.com prefers the 3.
