02 vs 04 WRX

If both the 03, and the 04 WRX's were new, and money was not an issue; Which year WRX would you rather have? Why?

04. Better front, better scoop, center-mounted tach, better interior, better suspension, EBD. Most of those are subjective, of course.

I would take the '03. The interior looks much better (although the seat material sucks because it attracts EVERYTHING). Seats are more supportive. Bug eyes > *, I like the smaller scoop. I would like the center tach, but I'll live I'm sure

No, The car is going to be my daily driver, I don't need or want the headaches of modifying the hell out of it. I have my Supra for that. I am however begging to think it would be worth the extra 10k to buy an STi, or an EVO vs the standard WRX. Thoughts?

i'd say buy the wrx and use that saved money you would have spent on an sti or evo and mod BOTH the supra and the wrx.

$10k can buy lots of goodies. also, the wrx is an outstanding daily driver on its own.

I like the 04 vs 02. Im not a fan of the bugeye lights, but I also really don't like the new re-designed taillights. I wish you could switch the old taillights with the new.

nothing big to the suspension...im not sure exactly what but its just a little stiffer i think...you can always do basic mods to the rex and you'll be very happy with it...and the STi or evo would be great options also

hehe supra why'd ya edit your reply? well in any event, since you've already poured 25k into the supra, then go ahead and buy the evo or the sti! if you can afford it, why not?
