It's a very very quick car compared to this Civic at 30k
I don't mean to rant on your purchase. I'm just surprised at how much this thing costs. I like the hatch and the blue color but at 30k I can think of a lot better cars.

You're comparing a car nobody buys that was purchased at a deep discount (base WRX should be nearly $36,000 taxes in at MSRP) to a brand new to market car in high demand with no discount possible.
Nevermind the fact 5-7 years down the road the Civic will sell for ~50% more than the WRX does. Mustang V6 will be even worse. If he doesn't care that much about straight line acceleration, he made the correct choice by far.
