WRX or Golf R

[AeroK]

These are the two cars I'm leaning towards as my next vehicle. I want something with power and sportiness but also the convience of a daily driver. I'm not interested in a manual transmission so the STI was eliminated early on for me...sorry I'm a poser. However, the WRX Limited was something I was leaning towards until I read a little more of the Golf R. I guess my question is what are some of the advantages and disadvantages of each. I'm leaning towards the R because after adding options to the WRX it's almost as much as a base R. Also my wife is wanting me to get an SUV and it's more of a compromise if I go with a hatch instead of a sedan. Sorry I felt like my knowledge of cars was good but reading the depth of knowledge exhibited in this forum makes me feel like a complete newb.
