RSX vs. Turbo EP vs. WRX

Which one would you rather get and why? I am getting one of these and have to decide which.

(In detail: an RSX w/ coilovers; an EP with a GReddy Kit, rims and coilovers; stock WRX)

Re: RSX vs. Turbo EP vs. WRX (Atlas)

stock 2004 WRX. the newer head/taillight designs are SIIICK!

you'll have more fun with that car believe me you will.

but if you want slightly better gas mileage with a slower platform, RSX-S will do. those coilovers will help ur handling too (what kind?).

EP3.. i don't like them.. i'm biased lol. Sorry, they're just too ugly for my opinion.

Anyways, go with WRX.

Re: (CodeDawg)

friend just got the 04 wrx, pretty nice ride over my friend's stock rsx type-s. The rsx has better interior imo.

Re: RSX vs. Turbo EP vs. WRX (Atlas)

Its funny u should ask thats what I've been thinking for a long time RSX Type-S or WRX two cars which I love and can't decide what to do....the ep3 is out though and if u get a Subaru and can afford the high jump in payments get a STI other wise good luck on he decision I should make my mind up as well..
