This month's Car and Driver has a comparo of the WRX STI, the Golf R, and the Focus RS.
It's worth a read. The Focus wins going away, on the strength of its driver involvement. It sounds like maybe the Golf R remains the more "mature" of the three, but "(d)ynamically, the RS is in a different league, maybe even playing a different sport. It's far more exciting than the staid Golf and much more polished than the brutish STI."
The article concludes, about the Focus RS: "It's genuinely hard to find anything to dislike. No question, this has become the performance hatchback to beat."
