I don't thinks so, other cars in this category is more expensive, plus this one have pedigree. The STI is going to be expensive, but then it have to compete in that bracket on which it is within similar pricing.

My brother is now looking at adding the new Dodge Challenger SRT (Hellcat) to his collection.

R50k more than you pay for a GTi and then you have car that 4wd and a lot more unique.. I'd pay that difference.

I agree, the resale may suck, but this is R50k more the better car to buy in my personal opinion valuing automobiles.
 
I wont mention the WRX and the GTI in the same sentence. The GTI fades in comparrison.

OK - time to compare Apples with Apples:

WRX - R449 000

G7 GTI R - R 498 000

Audi S 3 - R 510 500

Audi S 3 3 dr - R 493 000

BMW - M325 - R 538 346

Only the Audi & G7 is AWD as well.

Some FWD "rivals":

Ford Focus ST3 - R 389 000

Golf GTi - R 392 000

Opel OPC - R 457 000

Renault Megane III RS - R 429 000

Of these ones, Subaru is the only one with a Maintenance plan, has the biggest boot, 7 airbags

How long is the maintenance plan?
All BMWs come with a 5 year/100 000 km Motorplan
 
Wow that's pretty. Aren't you retiring like next week? Have to hand her back before she's been driven in?

I can't agree more :)

But anywho, you can't compare the WRX with the M235i? That should be compared with the STI and that will be waaaay more pricey than the M235i.

That being said I think it looks quiiiite nice. Not too fond of everything, the wheels look too small on it. Dunno what they were thinking. Love the pic in the TopGear mag where they stuck a garmin on the radio to "bring the scoob into the 21st century" hehhehe
