I wanted to know what you Honda guys would get between the two. Would you get a RSX or defect to subaru and give up luxury and beauty for speed.

 

Well, for starters the WRX would be quicker in a straight line. But you knew that. The WRX is more versatile. But you knew that, too. Personally, I'd go with the WRX, but that's just me. Perhaps if the question was DC5R vs WRX I'd opt for the 'R'. Maybe.

I agree with him 100%

 

mee too

 

compare the two in about 2-3 years... there is a reason why hondas have a reputation for reliability and efficiency. subaru is... subaru.

 

I took the RSX .. even thou the WRX is faster stock..there is no sun roof.. and to me that is the most important thing on a car..

 

Hahaha. Man I guess you like the wind blowing through you long blonde hair huh fabio...haha j/k bro.

Moon roof is nice, but it kind of sucks out here in Arizona. The sun is to damn hot to have it open, or the windows down for that reason during the summer. But when I go to cali its great. LA and San Diego are the best.

As for what to get ,the WRX is faster but suburu has not been known to last long. Things tend to go out rather quickly on the suburu. On the other hand honda/acura are known for lasting forever.

Its all up to you and what you preffer. WRX or RSX...Turbo or Na....4door or 2 door....Short life or long life... hehe. Its all in what you wont mind driving 3 years from now. Well Good Luck..

 

RSX vs. WRX = WRX

RSX-R vs. WRX = WRX

JDM DC5R vs. WRX = DC5R

 

Yea.. you don't know it now but wait till those WRX owners are having probs in their car and you're still running smoothly..

 

I had the opportunity to drive a WRX this weekend and although I am impressed with the whole package, the car just did not transfer enough of the feel of the road to me. Also, the WRX stock brakes kind of suck, and the gearbox does not seem to be as responsive.

I'd prefer a RSX S for sheer enjoyment of the road.

Just my 2 cents.

 

WRX for sure over an rsx-s.

 

a properly maintained WRX will last, the new wrx powerplant is not the sohc hunk of crap they been sebding us for the past few years..its a very versitile peice of machinery...i'd say the wrx over the rsx-s, the rsx is to luxury for me, the subie has no sunroof for a reason..just like why the ITR doesnt have one..its built for racing...the rsx-s has its refinement, and luxury, it really is an ACURA now...but the WRX has its RAW racing background. it depends what you want in a car.
