my celica gts slap on a turbo with 260 to the wheels in a car >2500 lbs and in stock form is just as fast as an rsx -s and its really good for highway racing

 

ok, i've had the type-s rsx and it was an awesome car, but... my wife is driving our 04 wrx now. THERE IS NO COMPARISON!!!! the wrx kicks the rsx's ars all over the place. the rsx is nice, very nice, but...... the wrx is one of the most stable vehicles on the road. it is very forgiving and oh so much fun to drive. also, the rsx doesn't have much character, and is very hard to get a lot of power out of w/o crazy $$. oh and it's very bland to drive.

04 srt-4 or a 04 wrx wagon.

 

You said new car at 22K right? If I'm not mistaken the WRX is closer to 27K sticker. Would not get RSX (used to work for American Honda).

 

yep....when I was shopping around last year the cheapest WRX I could find was $24k......and they went as high as $27k as you said. For that much $$$ I'd save up an extra $5k and get an STI

 

or at least another 2K for an 04 EVO

 

22? thats like a Impreza RS rite? The 04 Wrx has a higher base price I believe hahha


RSx kinna has a nice look but I always thought of it as the wannabe Celica ... Id say SRT4 if you want power *but remember... in the long run the look is still just a NEON hahah * ... You could go for Mazda 6 or 3 ...

Shoot you could go 19g for a Civic Si ^_^ hahahha ....

 

used EVO, you can find them.

 

do what i did.... find a rich kid that wants to ditch his evo for a truck and sport bike. offer him $22K and crap your pants when he accepts..... all mods and smiles ever since. sucker......

 

i've heard the scion tc with supercharger will be around 20. might be worth the look.

 

Get a wrx.
Few years back I would choose the RSX but after the Evo, my whole view of cars changed. I don't lust for luxury anymore and I don't miss it too much really... weird.

 

You can get an 04 WRX for 22K (base, minimal accessories, +$1500 rebate) now that 05's are out. Hmm I guess i'm most likely going with the WRX if I buy new. But I'm still considering if I should just buy any used cars under 18K and save my parents some money!

 

if you cant get the evo, get the suby since u dont like neons.

 

04 WRX....you will be verry happy..I know I am..and for jsut over a 1500 you'll be Real close to EVO HP ##'s
