Hey gang, here is my dilemma. I do have to start by saying that I have always wanted but have never owned a Sub yet. I have always loved the Impreza 2.5RS. Lately, of course, my drool has been finding it's way to the nearest WRX. It just so happens that my wife and I are in the position to actually have one now. Then all of a sudden out comes the 250HP '05 Legacy GT Turbo. Which, performance-data wise, is quite closely matched (corners aside, I'm talkin' daily driver here) to the WRX. And sexy to boot. After driving both, we both really liked the smooth feel of the Leg. It seemed like you actually had to 'try' a little harder to drive the wrx. I feel like I am torn here, from what actual data I can find on these two, here is what I've found:
The Leg is slightly faster (stoplight to stoplight) due to a bigger turbo
WRX is lighter, (200lb) therefore making up for some of this
BUT
The WRX handles curves better and has less body roll due to better suspension
There must be something I'm missing here. Anyone have any experience, data, or anything else I should be considering about these 2? I am at a crossroads. Any help would be fantastic!
thanks,
