RSX Type-S vs. Subaru WRX

04-18-2004, 10:48 PM

Anyone here have either of these cars? Or better yet; have driven both and would be able to compare the two? I am thinking of getting a new car, and these are what I've narrowed my choices down to.

I've heard they are both great cars, for every day driving as well as a sports car - which is exactly what Im looking for. Just wondering how well both of them hold up in general, and if anyone would reccomend one over the other - from personal experiences?

And for those that dont know what they are:
Acura RSX Type-S
Subaru WRX

...opinions?

If you want to know what car is faster (stock vs stock) the WRX is. If you want to have luxury, comfort, looks, and some performance... Get the Type S.

I'd choose the acura just because it looks way better and more comfort in the car...

Thats what I was thinking. My friend has a WRX, and the interior feels SO incredibly cheap. And no, the STi is not an option - insurance would kill me

I'm planning to add some after market parts to whatever car I get - anyone know which car would be cheaper, or faster in the long run, if I ended up doing this?

interesting comparison , i would have to say the RSX Type S , simply cause I am Honda Fan , but as I recall the WRX is a bit cheaper and has a bit better performance in terms of handling and speed .

I own the 2002 RSX and I absolutely fucking love it. I never test drove the WRX but I know a friend who has it and he loves it too. Tough call for sure, but I would take the sportier look that the RSX has. One thing I love about the RSX is actually the trunk space. It's a sportscar but it has tons of room in the trunk and the 200 horses makes it very sweet!

In the 2 years I've had it, not one single problem, ever. I absolutely love it

WRX STi all the way it's a real pleasure to drive. One of the best handling cars comming out of asia.

Either that or the new 2004 Lancer Evo from Mitsubishi which also is a kickass car

If you ask me the Acura is just a chromed up Honda

The Lancer or STi aren't cars I'm even considering I want power mixed with pratcticality; and those are both purely sports cars at heart - meaning they will have absolutely no ride comfort, or any of the amenities Im looking for. They sacrifice all luxury for power, which is stupid if you asked me: how often are you really going to be using the full 300hp of these cars, unless you enjoy taking them to the track every weekend?

Thats why the RSX is looking more and more appealing to me. They are luxurious cars, and 200hp is enough power that you can DEFINITELY have some fun with it if you choose to.

Plus, being only 20, Im looking at paying either ~260 a month for the RSX, or $800+ (!!!) for some of the sports cars I had been looking at. Absolutely insanity.

Just so you know the STI doesn't even come with a radio, it's anextra you have to pay. Not a daily driver at all.

I don't like the look of the Impreza but i can assure you it's better than that piece of shit slow ass ricer RSX

RSX-S is a wonderful car. VTec kicks in at about 4400RPM if i remember correctly from my friends type-s. Its a quick car for a stock inline 4. He ran it at the track and pulled a 15.3

The WRX hands down will walk on the rsxS. Just because the simple fact that the wrx is a stock turbo awd car.

If you want speed and something that isnt seen much, take the WRX, its a badass machine from the factory, low 14s from the factory and thats just the base model.

if you have any other questions about imports just hit me a message on AIM and ill gladly help you out man. good luck

Subaru WRX is a man's car. Ugly as hell, but its a beast in performance.

Its funny though - around here, its just the opposite. WRXs are ALL OVER the place, its insanity. They are like civics up here, can go anywhere without seeing one.

Personally I wouldn't choose either but they're two totally different cars.

You've got a 225HP Turbo'd WRX and a 200HP Naturally aspirated RSX.

Personally I'd go check out the 2004 Honda S2000, but the only downfall on that is it's a 2 seater.

Why don't you go test drive them both and see how you like them for yourself.

Subaru is a shitty FWD based "performance" car...

The Honda is a more completely engineered all-around car....

No doubt the WRX is quicker in a straight line and would be better suited to the average joe. The Honda is a drivers car more rewarding for someone that appreciates chassis balance, refinement and technology throughout.

As the HKS tuners say: In Japan, we no give fuck for Subaru.

Honda rocks, flat out. Most reliable engines IMO.

The S2000 can out handle most cars if not almost all cars out there on the market.

...And the HKS full catback exhaust on the s2k sounds amazing, so deep and crisp. No ricey sound.

I'd go with the WRX. I test drove one and the handling/power are excellent. The RSX isn't even in the WRX' class.

if you think you will have luxury with the rsx type-s you are mistaken..

i wont weigh in on what car is better cuz each person has their own opinions... that and my view is biased being a wrx owner hehe

wrx has been highly impressive, you cant go wrong with turbo and AWD

What about the RSX Type-S vs the RX 8 ?

My buddies got the type S, I've got the RX8.

But we're so far away, that we haven't had the chance to race yet.
