if i wanted to be a boy racer, i would have went with the STi. i'm glad i didn't. the initial grins would probably turn to groans after spending time sitting in traffic and hitting potholes. the LGT is plenty fast - i don't even know if i need to go past the stage 1 (yeah, probably will ). it has a lot of nice features. chose the LGT over FXT because of the 5EAT Sportshift, nicer interior/ nicer wheels (IMHO), don't need all the cargo space, and i just generally don't like the sport-ute look.

if i had kids, or hauled a bunch of stuff around, the FXT would no doubt be the one i chose. its a ridiculous value for what you get.
