Default Ford Focus ST or Subaru Impreza WRX

If they're both the same price which one would you get?

WRX - AWD, looks better, faster, sounds better, turbo, more aftermarket options available etc.

Don't mind the ST though, haven't driven one but hope too.

you'd be suprised how big the boot in the WRX is, I picked up my parents from the airport last week and fitted all their luggage in (and it was alot!).

The story goes like this, Subaru has come back into the country and offered the WRX at a very good price. A few days ago a salesman-friend got back to me about special ordering the ST at the same price. I like both cars and cant decide on which to get. That's why I raised the question in case I missed something.

Different part of the world different pricing.

Over here the formula for all dealers (Subaru being the glaring exception) to import vehicles is...

US MSRP X 2.5 = Local price

That's why it is so rare to see good cars here. If a Veyron were brought in legally it would cost USD3,250,000.00
