S2000 or WRX

Hey everybody,

I need some advice on which car I should get. Right now im stuck between a 2002 S2000 or a 2004 WRX. Right now i drive a 2007 accord as a daily. I'm 5"10 and dont really need much room since the car is just for me. Im most likely not gonna do any mods to the cars besides maybe lowering. Just wanna know the pro's and con's of each car. Thanks! Oh yeah almost forgot to mention i live in washington so its some what snowy during the winter.

s2000>wrx. wrx comes boost but come on one is a roadster, convertible, and high revving. the other is just a baby sti with a blah interior. if power is your main concern and cheap go build a wrx. but at the end of the day its still just a wrx. i drive a s2000 and love it. ultimately its your choice. but i say ap1 ftw.
wrx

s2000

hondas are a heat up but dont let any other person dictate what you drive. stay chill and dont be an idiot and you wont be a heat up.

ultimately go drive both and decide for yourself. trust me when i first took mine to 9k i was sold.

S2K and SMASH on WRXs

Turbo 2K > WRX with an FP rainbow

Style, handling, power!

700whp stock block > 400 *POP* WRX lol Tranny *POP*

WRXs are garbage....I would buy an EVO WAAAAY before a WRX...tranmissions are like glass

This was my dilemma since I love both cars and test drove both. I live in idaho and go snowboarding all the time in the winter and we get alot of snow so I ultimately went with a used 02 wrx and couldnt be happier. I couldnt imagine driving an s2k around in the winter time which is like half the year around here
