Bost cars are ugly but I'd rather have the WRX. Because if I were driving an RSX I would see the tail end of WRXs a lot but if I had a WRX, there would only be open road in front of me.
Seriously, the WRX is A LOT faster and can hit almost 400hp with stock internals. Plus its AWD which is a lot of fun. The WRX is a bit pudgy though but I can forgive it. There are plenty of FF NA sport compacts on the street but only one turbo AWD monster. I'll go with the latter. And will all you Honda ricers get your facts straight, you make a good car company look bad with your stupidity.

WRX Vs. RSX ????
I looked at both of these cars quite a bit when deciding on my last purchase. Actually went with a 2002 Nissan SER SpecV.
The performance numbers speak for themselves. All you Honda/Acura guys talking about how heavy the WRX is should look at POWER to WEIGHT, not just WEIGHT. The RSX has 1 HP pushing 13.9 lbs and the WRX has 1 HP pushing 13.6 lbs not a big difference eh? Then there's torque, a little something Honda seems to know nothing about. Then handling the WRX is AWD. Nuf said. Looks. Stock for stock. WRX. Sure the front end is a bit ugsome, but the RSX looks like an off road machine. You would need like a 2 inch drop to make that ride look half deacent. Plus wheels and tires. Bang for your buck, after a SpecV, WRX. Hands down. |

Hey maceez13, just wanna say, your comments are full of your rice shiiiii. why don't you tell us about what you drive? I bet 50 bucks its some ricemobile like a base rsx with a 5" exhaust tip. by the way dont bother to reply to this post, I'm not interested in your comments. And yes, I'm ignorant.
And mikelemo, why don't we look at things this way, take away the i-vtec in the rsx, and it'll lose about 10000 of it's value plus you get a 90hp car, and with ten grand you can make the interior of a wrx looking like a benz Also, if you drop 50000 bucks in a wrx engine, you can freaken fly. I think the dude that owns that 300hp wrx has about 500 bucks of engine mods in his ride. What's up ldelaysionl, good job denfeding the wrx from all the ricers man. What's up silverspecv, I think ser's are cool as hell, that's why I've got one too :sun: . Ok, sorry about that dan, now back on topic. If leather and sunroof mean the world to you, then by all means get the rsx-s. The WRX has better communication with the driver, you can feel the road thru the pedals. To some that mean bad ride quality. But to a true ethusiast, that'll be a dream ride. The wrx is heavier due to its AWD system, and it is not as good on gas as the rsx-s. If you are planning on doing engine mods to your car though, get the wrx. It will not disappoint. (just a little note, replacing the stock air box with a K&N air filter gives the wrx 5 hp, and by putting in high flow cats, you should be able to go up to 250 hp, which is how much hp the jap version have.) Still the same old advise, test drive them and let the machines speak for themselves. peace out. |

Hi again Dan, left out something in my previous post.
If you want to go up to 300 hp, I would'nt recommend nos. In the WRX, you should only have to: replace/add a front mount I/C. boost controller. Intake and exhaust (just icing on the cake). turbo timer and bov just to keep things safe. add a performance clutch while you're at it. In the RSX-S: The famous Jackson Racing sc (it's not arround yet, but the way jackson racing do things makes me suspect that it will happen.) This should give you a 40% boost in power and should cost arround 3-5 grand. I wouldn't worry too much about the reliability issue in the wrx, if you treat the turbo nicely (ie. turbo timer is a must). because subaru has been working on this engine for years and they build their reputation and pride arround their AWD system (and thier wrx). As for the RSX-S, generally acura/honda vehicles are reliable. One catch though, The enigne and the i-vtec is new technology, so I would wait to see how they do before completely trusting them. Honda seems to have a lot of faith in this engine tho, they put it in a lot of thier vehicles. |

i agree with ldelaysionl as much as i can. don't get me wrong the rsx is a real nice car but nice vs. power just doesn't cut it. now pricewise with the subaru ur getting a good deal in power. in the rsx ur getting a good deal in luxury and sportiness. its really what it is ur looking for. i was sort of in the same predicament until i read what i could do with the wrx. sur maybe there aren't many body kits and without one its pretty ugly. but hey there may be a few years to come when some body kit company will find that there is some good business in making a body kit for the wrx. but a noted rally car over a pricy acura its really a great burden that ur faced with.
