Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs roughly the same to get the Subaru Impreza WRX STi to the dealership as the average coupe/hatchback. Producing a precise gas mileage evaluation is so difficult that some think not even the federal government can do it, but it looks as though the average coupe/hatchback is the winner in terms of fuel economy. The Subaru Impreza WRX STi pales in comparison to the typical coupe/hatchback regarding fuel economy. The Subaru Impreza WRX STi isn't much less costly than the typical coupe/hatchback when it comes to MSRP.

Utility
The Subaru Impreza WRX STi will definitely prove friendlier than the average coupe/hatchback for those of you with frequent child-cargo.

Convenience
You will most certainly have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Subaru Impreza WRX STi than with the typical coupe/hatchback.

Comfort
Taller drivers will significantly enjoy the extra head room in the Impreza WRX STi's front cabin compared to the typical coupe/hatchback. The Impreza WRX STi is not particularly roomier for your passengers than the average coupe/hatchback.

Dimensions
The typical coupe/hatchback's tank is almost the same size as the Subaru Impreza WRX STi's, though the Subaru Impreza WRX STi's is slightly bigger. The Subaru Impreza WRX STi and the average coupe/hatchback compete for the same parking spaces.

Performance
As far as horsepower, the Subaru Impreza WRX STi packs quite a punch and will knock the typical coupe/hatchback down a few rungs. On the flip side, note that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Handling
With their comparable turning radii, the typical coupe/hatchback and the Subaru Impreza WRX STi most certainly handle almost the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The average coupe/hatchback's engine isn't much bigger than the Subaru Impreza WRX STi's. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the Subaru Impreza WRX STi is significantly more powerful than the average coupe/hatchback. The typical coupe/hatchback could learn a lesson or two from the Subaru Impreza WRX STi regarding torque.

The basic warranty that comes with the Subaru Impreza WRX STi isn't quite as generous as the average coupe/hatchback's.
