FUCKING PIG HEAVY VEE ATE SHIT BOX CANT TURN
It looks like a Korean car in the worst way.
The Sti for that gen was alright. But the earlier WRXs were terrible, a complete downgrade from the earlier gen, at least this was fixed with later WRXs. A similar model year V6 Camry still outperforms the WRX on the straights though, while being a cheaper, bigger, more comfortable, better equipped car.
>V6 Camry meme
Its stupid because V6 Camrys beat literally every sport compact in a straight line almost every year they were produced as far back as the 1990s (replace WRX with Integra GSR/Prelude, 240SX, Impreza 2.5RS, pretty much anything except for Turbo DSMs and Maximas)
The person in the market for a WRX is not going to cross shop a V6 Camry, and the person in the market for a V6 Camry will possibly look at a Legacy before a WRX. A V6 Camry is not cheaper than a WRX, and as much as the Subaru will understeer it'll have far more grip than a Camry could dream of.
Different driving experience, why do you think Ford sells a Focus RS alongside the 5.0 Mustang
They're fun, hold a special niche in the automotive market (Turbo AWD Sport Compacts), and hold insane resale. Seriously for $27k just buy a 2016 WRX and get a brand new fucking car. For better or worse its the same car from 2002-2014. At least Subaru decided to innovate a little bit with the 2015 WRXs with the FA20 and a far better chassis.
People who ask this question have never been for a blast in a well sorted one

It's not an issue the GC ever had though.
>A V6 Camry is not cheaper than a WRX
Have you seen Subaru prices in the last decade and an half? They're 100% meme priced by owners who "know what they got"
>100% meme priced by owners who "know what they got"
See: Until another manufacturer makes a car with a similar niche (Fun AWD Sport Compact) that can compete as well they'll forever be "meme priced". If you want to avoid their retarded resale, buy one with a blown motor (at least they're piss-easy to work) or buy one new.
The GC WRX was never sold in the USA so it wouldn't be compared to a V6 Camry, and the 2.5RS we got made a thundering 110-120whp and was smoked by a equivalent year V6 Camry until the GDB 02-05 WRXs came out and Toyota didn't put the 270hp 2GR-FE in the Camry until 2006.
How much is my 2007 WRX with 54k miles worth approximately
poor mans bmw
