The Subaru WRX and STi compete against a variety of machinery across several segments. The Subarus are fast and handle very well, with the STi being competitive with sports cars such as the Nissan 370Z. However, the Subaru offers a degree of practicality that puts them up against many compact, similarly priced European cars like the MINI Cooper and BMW 2-series. The WRX starts at just under $27,000, while the more powerful STi has a base price just over $35,000.
