If all you had to do was drive in a straight line, than BMW. But since most of us have to turn at some point in time, it looks like it\'s the Subaru.

Yes it handles really well, the 4 and 3 series coupes, especially compared to its competitors

335i- daily driver

WRX STi- track car

no wonder the track car performs better than a daily on the track

The BMW has 1/2 liter more displacement.

Anyway , as much as I love my BMW I'm selling it and getting a WRX STI . This decision is purely financial. I'm ( because of the supply demands ) able to get within $1000 what I paid for it, and I've had it for 4 years. I've wanted a WRX STI for quite a while, and now is the perfect time. I'm REALLY going to miss that car.

As long as its not rusty, the WRX STI will IMO be better store of value and better appreciator than 335.
