C coupe would be consider compact because of it's size. WRX sedan is not however.

RSX Type-R ALL THE WAY! If you watch the BEST MOTORING video, you will see that Honda handles better than the Subarus "on-track".... this maybe different when it comes to rally racing. (and i don't like the fugly front face of the WRX)

RSX - R in a another 2 years

I know. by that time, i'd be able to fully deck out my GSR and there'd probably be engine swaps for a Type-S engine to a Integra Body... that's one thing you gotta love about honda's too is their extensive aftermarket products.

pocket rocket

The 1.8T GTi's are very tunable. A chip alone can add up to 45hp because the factory boost is set so low. A 6 speed is also available for 2002 which is great. The WRX's are also fabulous cars, but they are about $5000 more than the other compacts you have chosen. I test drove a white WRX sedan on Saturday, and it is a friggin' rocket. Too bad I can't afford one right now.

You'll have fun driving backwards. The engine spins the other way around so you would end up having 6 reverse gear and 1 foward gear.

go with the subaru because of the all wheel drive. You can rev that sucker up and drop the clutch and the tires won't smoke unlike a front or rear wheel drive car. Also be origanal don't get something everybody wants unless your a groupie. Be the leading edge if you are a real tuner

The tire on WRX is crappy and doesn't provide good grip. If you want a better launch you should spend the money on better tyres. Buying a WRX doesn't make a person original.

Um, everyone drives cars, so buy a scooter. That's original! :right:

The tires on RSX is not quality tire either. RSX is using GSR's tire in 16inch form. A big dropped in performance from ITR's.
