03 Wrx OR 05 RSX

Now i knoe these 2 cars are totally different class.
Rsx being smaller more compact and wrx more of a high performance 4 door.
Which one of the 2 lasts longer and have a better resell value?

1 more question for you guys.Would a stock wrx non sti outrun the 05 Rsx Type S *stock*

the rsx will have a better resale value.

Stock for stock, it really depends on the conditions, but the wrx would edge out the rsx at lower speeds and at higher speeds the rsx will edge the wrx out.

If your plans are to get either car and then resell it in the short term, u might as well get the rsx for the resale value. If u plan on keeping it for awhile and putting some mods into it, the wrx would be cheaper to mod for more power.

in the end, it all boils down to which feels better for u. go and test drive both and then make your decision. Plus I would take into monetary consideration that the 03 wrx would be cheaper to buy than the more current 05 rsx-s.

well if i do buy either car, i will keep it for awhile and be putting mods to it.I test drove both cars today and each one has its up's and downs....Rsx being an acura i think its more popular still even tho its the last year for that line.I might lean towards to wrx cause its a bit bigger and there are more parts for this car.Well i need a faster car because i drag at mission and my next race will be against a rsx type s.....

u asked in your first post which car would last longer....if u get the wrx strictly to drag race, you're just asking for something to break.

You might as well get the rsx-s so that you won't go telling all your friends in the future how the wrx is a pos when u break it from abusing it.

I would buy the RSX-S. Hands down it is more prepared for drag racing. A WRX will get torn up from the abuse. AWD is my last choice for a drag race so go with the RSX-s. Throw a supercharger on it and your good.

are you retarded? rsx's are not the most stolen, where did you hear that? and secondly, they are nowhere near being "rice".


secondly, having come from an rsx to the wrx, it all depends which route you want to go. if you go with the rsx, is it the type s? cause if you just get the base, its a waste of money trying to mod it. and from what you are saying, if its just for drag racing, go with the rsx, simply because id rather see an rsx go down due to racing than a rex.

No I am NOT retard I am actualy very educated.
A police officer told me that when I was parked at a gasoline station
pumping gas in my 04 WRX.The officer told me that Acura RSX's S type or
base are both number one on the top stole list and he says he's looking
for the theifs and would like to recover the stole cars.He asked me if I knew
anything about it and I told the officer I know nothing because I know assoicate
with scumbags.In my opnion Acura's are rice does that offend you? Because I
am only stating my opnion here.If you are taking racing the 1/4 mile at a track
I would much rather be racing in a WRX.I wouldn't be caught dead driving a
fugly Acura RSX are you kidding.
