Yeah, it depends on what your looking for.Probably but they were probably Subaru fanboys before. The STI is a massive downgrade in every way outside of AWD but if that's what you need then get a Golf R.
I came from a 2019 STI. Happy with my decision, particularly as I was able to switch at minimal additional cost.
They are different driving experiences. The STI is rougher around the edges, but the engine and transmission has a lot of character. There is something to be said about that.
CTR is more refined, better steering feel despite EPS, better interior ergonomics and seats, lighter weight, faster acceleration, improved brake feel, and better driving dynamics.
In normal driving situations, AWD never mattered to me. When pushing the cars on back roads, I'm typically in third gear, where traction issues are not a concern. All the other qualities, which are improved upon in the CTR really come into play.
