Default WRX......should I?

Well. The S2000 has always been a dream. But I'm still in college and no matter how much the S2000 will make me drool, I don't think it'll be practical. So I'm deciding on whether to wait on the S2000 for later and get a WRX and maybe even a bike compared to getting an S2000.

What do you guys think?

Oh, and I'll be paying off either car.

Have test driven both cars? That should be the biggest factor of decision. I've driven both cars, first I drove the WRX. It didn't have a big impression. Then I sat on the S2000, ohh.....man...after I drove it, fell in love with the car. R u planning to get the white & red?

Yea...I had my heart set on a white on red.

Of course I would choose the S2000 over the WRX. But the matter is factor of practicality. I go to school and park in the open. And other factors such as this.

What other great cars are there in the WRX price range?

I agree with Speedracer, get the WRX. It is a helluva lot more practical than the S2000. And you can blow the doors off of TTs as well. There is always tomorrow. When the time comes for you to get a roadster, who knows what great things will be out there.

Bryan, are you going to live in College or living home and go to college?

if you are living at home, then I will suggest the WRX...

I never bring my S2000 to college when I lived there. I will rather not have a car than bring my S2000 to campus. WRX will be alot safe to bring to college. so I can only drive my S2000 evertime when I went back home.

so if you can live without a car in college, then you should get the S2000 for weekend driving.

No way. I need a car.

I think the WRX is the way to go. Why can't I make up my mind?!

I don't know man. If u can afford the S, go with the S. Why having the S in college is impractical? What do u need the car for? If it just for transportation, go with the S.

If you can find a Cooper or pre-spec Cooper S jump on it. Fun to drive and small enough that you can park it just about anywhere.
