ok guys... this could determine which car I will get... I was going with the scion tc on the first hand until i found out that the subaru 2.5RS AWD having around the same price... what should I choose? and why?

P.S. Post A.S.A.P. because I am getting the CAR TODAY!!!!!

tC...........if you bought the rs you would want the WRX...........believe me i know.

Your kind is not welcome here.

But really , buy whatever you want. No one here has any ideas what your needs and interests or likes and dislikes are. Try reading around and you'll see why the tC is a great car.

Personally, I'd get the tC. Shocking I know.

2.5RS starts over $18k. tC starts over $16k. Not close enough for me. As for what you want ... I don't know. Depends on what you need. One big difference with the 2.5RS is that it's AWD. So... good in bad weather.

Other than that... it's REALLY just what YOU want to have or need. And which you like better.

If you were to get a Subaru I would shoot for the WRX Impreza. The tC buddy. What will you feel satisfied in? I would be more satisfied in a tC. That's for sure. I don't currently own one, but it's my pick.

tC...tC...tC...tC...

No for reals though, go for what suits you! COMPARE, COMPARE, COMPARE!

tC all the way but if you are going to buy an impreza atleast get the WRX not the RS

scratchtc

I would say TC. you wouldn't get nearly as many standard features with the RS. and it seems that performance is very similar. and to top it all, the RS is uggglllyyy... compared to the beauty that is the TC..

The suburu is just too ugly for me to even consider. I dont care how well it performs.

RedheadedStepChild

Well i would get the TC because im partial to the styling of it. I wouldnt waist my money on a striped down WRX w/o the Turbo Charged engine....all that weight..plus all wheel drive and not the juice to propel it properly.

I'm almost up for a new car soon (might be giving the xA to my little sister). My mom hinted to a tC, but a Subaru Impreza 2.5RS Wagon would be nice. AWD > FWD. Though, I'll probably end up with a 2006 Civic Si (my older sister works for Honda). Limited slip, 200hp...mmmmm.

You can get a Saab 9-2x right now with the GM discount for about 19k. I think that's the Aero and the 9-2x's are BUILT by subaru. They are a wrx rebadged as a saab. the exterior is different, and that's about it. Look it up. So essentially you're getting a WRX for 19k. Every single part on that car is from a wrx. They also have upgrades from the WRX.

ok here's a few things that i found out...

* Aero gets the STi steering rack
* both models get firmer springs and softer dampers over the wrx
* 10mm shorter bump stops
* stiffer front control-arm bushings
* 1.8mm toe-in (front)

just do a little research. the tC is great, but look into other cars as well. most here will tell you to get the tC, but i would so get the 9-2x if i were looking for a car right now.

WRX Tranny Sucks! Had an 03. Traded it in for an 05 STI. Fast- Way fast and way expensive! MPG sucks and insurance is high. Now I'm rolling an 06 TC and I'm content. Its not crazy fast but it is about $300 a month cheaper and it has a sunroof.

If your gonna ask here, tC is most likely the answer!

scratchtc

'06 civic looks sweet. i was thinking about looking into it but i forgot and already ordered my TC. oh well. when are the 06 civics gonna be available or are they already?

808tC

they 2006 civic si production model will be shown at SEMA in november.....so itll sell around the last quarter of 2005....i think that civic is a very nice car but it'll cost at least 19,000....i was thinkn of trading in my tc for it, but i realized that the tc is cheaper and can be faster than the si....

DuMa

if ur gonna get a 2.5RS. get the 05. the 06 Impreza/WRX/STi looks like garbage. uggh

RedheadedStepChild

Last time I checked Brian the Saab 9-2x is actually a rebadged 2.5 Impreza, which "starts" $23,685....In fact the Saab 9-2x Aero model is the rebadged WRX that actually "starts" at $27,645.

RedheadedStepChild

With the performance that Honda is boasting about the car, it will probably start around $22-to $24k, Closer to the Acura RSX Line.

808tC

i doubt it.....then it'll cost as much as an rsx.....then it may take sales away from the rsx.....
