Good words.
Okay I've decided to go with the WRX. Here are the reasons why.
Yeah it's not as attractive as the S2000, but I can always get girls with my amazing charm.
The strong points of the WRX that won me over are:
1) Space. I always want to have the ability to carry passengers and stuff, under most circumstances, more space always is better.
2) All wheel drive power train. When it comes to auto-crossing even rear wheel drives get overthrown by all-wheel drive, and having turbo makes the possibilities endless.
3) Extra's. CD changer stock. Factory Momo steering wheel and shift knob. Factory boost gauge. Factory Momo-style seats.
4) Over-all a blast to drive.
One person said it's good to test drive all the car's first, but in all honesty, I've driven the following car's.
Non-tuned C5 Corvette 6 speed. Honda S2000. Acura Integra GSR. Civic Hatchback with GSR swap. Subaru WRX. Eclipse GT V6 manual transmission. Celica GTS 6 Speed. 98' Camaro Z28. 96' Mustang GT.
Of all those car's, the WRX was the most comfortable, and had the best stability when you mash on the throttle. The Corvette had way too much loss of traction out of the hole, as was the same with the Mustang GT and the Z28. The S2000 sounded too windy in the cabin, even with the top up. The GSR just wasn't
that quick, even for a four cylinder, and the understeer of a FF car is painful. The hatchback hybrid was fast but it had worse understeer because of the weight distribution, and it was WAY too loud in the cabin. The Eclipse GT was too packed on the inside, and for a V6 I was just expecting a little more punch. The GTS was good but I'm not in the mood to pay 20 thousand dollars to run low 15's.
