Let's be fair to the sprinters and the rexes.. I've both a 83 sprinter and a 94 rex in my garage... I bought them both aus stock and mod them up... and I took them both to track(winton, in which driver skill and handling is far more important than power) before.. to be honest, when stock, the rex do corners way better than the sprinter.. if you can beat a wrx in a corner.. most of them come to how skillful the driver is, then the setting of the car... or I'd say... that guy didn't even pushed hard...
I'm not saying the the sprinter is not good at handling... but it's just not that easy to beat the power and the AWD system a wrx originally have.
I love the sprinter so much, not only it's way cheaper then the wrx.. but it does handle well! With little mod to the suspension plus maybe some swaybars... it's gonna be one of the best handling car.. if you put some more power into it.. it can go REAL HARD! 
As for the wrx... it's just a wrx afterall, not a sti or anything else... the standard wrx is not that good at handling but since it has the somewhat easy to drive AWD system... so you don't need to be very skillful to corner it well.. but it needs at least some mod like whiteline handling pack plus lowered spring to make it a FUN handling car..
To sum it up... both the sprinter and wrx are enjoyable cars... it all comes to how you set it up and how you drive it...
