ya i'm from canada too and the wrx is like 5000$ more and i'm with the majoity of the people when i say the rsx is a way nicer ride!!!!! it feels better looks better and for the minimal amount of extra power the wrx may have, you can get that for like 200us$ no problem. cold air intake you can get off of ebay for like 30$ delivered, chip for like 20$, and headers for like 160$ that's another 30-50hp easy, and if you can't intall that shit yourself you have a problem, i think it's really a no brainer.
though the wrx is still a nice ride
