Difference between RS and WRX?

Just looking in the market, and the models seem the same. Just wanted to know the technical stuff. I fugured it was maybe the turbo, but I may be wrong. Thanks

I know the WRX is better, but are there any pros for purchasing a RS, besides price?

The wrx has the turbocharged 2.0 litre engine. the 2.5rs's have a non turbo 2.5 litre engine. They come with the wrx wheels, wing, foglights and hood scoop.

Basically you get the look uplift without paying extra for turbo parts. you will get somewhat better gas mileage too.

The RS has a firmer suspension then the standard Subaru. The engine is the same. The WRX has a turbo engine. The WRX STI is a full blown race car.

the wrx has a more powerful engine. I have the 2000 2.5 rs coupe. I like the power in wrx but I favor the outside body of my 2.5 rs and I don't think they make coupes anymore.
