I think it is personal preference. I personally would take my RSX-S over a WRX.
RSX-S has a leather interior, better sound system (who cares because we all change that), climate control, and more. It also has better gearing and better track times. Look around for a video of a DC5R and a few other cars including the NSX-T and WRX STi. You'll see the DC5R actually beat the STi on a road coarse.
Off road though, we don't have to talk about that.
But if you want to see a video and pictures of me vs a WRX in Orlando. Check this out.
and for video. It's not that great but you can see that if they get the same 60ft time as me....they don't have a prayer. Both our cars were stock.
