I have always felt that for the money you are paying the subaru is the best bet they have come a long way and i like to think of them as a good brand the same can be said about mitsubishi but i have never quite liked them. the question is did you yourself test drive any? I know that subarus on the street are relatively cheaper than Evo's

 

All I'm saying is evo's and wrx's are a dime a dozen compared to sc's. It's all personal preference though. Good luck with whatever you. You could build one kick *** sc with how much you'd spend on one of those
