wrx or rsx type-s

i´m thinking about trading up for a real car, one that will go fast, and i was thinking about these two. the rsx would be new, and the wrx would be used, but only a year or two old and less than 10k miles. just want some extra input. thanks

Maybe we should have a group buy for everyone next spring who's planning on buying a G35, 350Z, RSX-S, WRX or Evo, which is everyone on this site.

i was leaning towards the wrx, mostly because it can smoke a type-s, and it responds well to simple mods. my friend has one and beat a camaro ss with up/downpipe and the such. although i do like honda...

Ditto on the last comment. AWD is the only way. That and the WRX puts you in the seat a lil more... STi or not...

One car is AWD one car is FWD.

There very diff cars.

RSX Type S hands down is the best FWD drive car.

There is a big difference when driving an AWD in terms of handling.

thats a tough call. i don't really like the look of the wrx, but it is faster and probably more potential. type-s looks pretty hot and probably a better reliability/resale. both have a good aftermarket. awd is sa nice feature. it's a toss up. whatever you could see yourself driving is what you should get.

I know I might get flamed for this, but...

One day, everyone grows up, and cares less about being the "fastest". Some don't though, and still want to get faster and faster. It all depends on your financial situation and priorities. Me personally, I plan to trade in for a nice used luxury sedan with ample performance. I have been looking into a 540i 6 spd or a GS400. Maybe even a used AMG Benz (which I was sooo close to buying a month ago). I do love the new STi, and the RSX has always been a favorite of mine, but I am growing, and require a larger car. My fat *** will sit comfortably in a nice, plush, leather interior. Smooth ride, plus a little drop, and slap on some 19"-20" HRE wheels and I am done. A pimp 35% tint couldn't hurt. I do still intend to mod the next car, just on a lighter level. Like a intake, chip, and exhaust. Thats all. I am more concerned about the appearance of the "total package". The end result, a young dude pimping a large luxury plush ride, rolling on dubs, what women could not resist.
