It's not even a fair comparison. The standard equipment on the MS 3 makes it more equal to that of the STi. That would be the proper comparison. What does the MS 3 go for?

RE-92s on the WRX for the review, and the MS3 has high performance summer tires.
/End of review.
Put STi wheels and tires on it and then do the review! Even still. the mazda is quick... and its the fastest car that Mazda has to offer, the WRX egg isn't. Give to the STi to play with.
I hate Mazda... Ever since Ford took over... I know they dont do much for Mazda, but I just hate ford so damn much that if ford bought Subaru, I'd sell my subies and get an Evo or something.

^^^beat me to it.
Nothing is fair until the WRX gets rid of the RE-92's
The interior is "lack luster".......oh thats it, Im never buying a car again that doesnt have red stitched seats

Bottom line, Subaru woke up the sport compact market in 2002. The other manufactures have had a good 5 years now to catch up while Subaru has spent 5 years giving the same car a nose job every couple years.
When you're at the top, it's easy for everyone else to just do what you do. It seems Subaru either doesn't care or has just been cocky and lazy about staying ahead. Doesn't surprise me at all that other manufactures are meeting or beating the WRX at this point.
