Agree with everything here, aside from fuel mileage. I'm actually debating swapping my M Coupe for an STI and have borrowed a friend's 2007 STI multiple times and have had one tank that averaged 7 mpg, and none better than 20 mpg. The STi ultimately does understeer while on the track, but in the city, with the diff bias set all the way to the back, it's much more likely to oversteer than a 328i, which could only power oversteer in the rain or ice.
