Whatever you are getting, make sure you get an insurance quote. The WRX might do a number on your insurance. I had a Focus sport/5spd and even though my teen would not drive it, the insurance cost was way up there.
Recently, based on consumer report, the Acura quality has been going down. This is usually caused by too much electronics, but still a consideration. I will just buy a regular sedan, Accord or Camry (both boring!) or a Mazda 6 for better handling.
