Not in the same league. There are many other vehicles to compare either car to neither of these qualify. IS 250/350, Audi A4, BMW 325/330, Volvo
S60R, G35 etc. Subaru??

The STi is definitelly a fun car but it's too much of a and driving that thing around Los Angeles everyday would be a total pain. Though if it was on nice paved country roads it would be .

For acceleration and handling, the Subie is awesome. It's also loud, tinny and feels cheap in some respects. (Listen to the sound when you close the trunk lid.)
I lived with my Subaru for 9 months, before trading it in on another Benz.
Both decent cars. Depends on your tastes and priorities.
