Im looking into these two cars and comparing both, WRX has better performance & power whereas Integra is more on looks.
Now im wanting to purchase a value for money car that don't appear like my dad owns it.
With 2.5l & 2.0l, the insurance and rd tax will be a difference. How more is 2.5l in comparison to 2.0l?

get a 2002 Integra type r

I personally think the WRX is overhyped and look really beng. particularly a blue WRX, scream ah beng in every angle. Worst still there are really quite some old uncles driving it also. Ah Seng.

The Integra is such a beauty, particularly a white one. The design and the curves, simply a different class. But you'll have to live with only two doors.

Get the Integra.Unless you like walking from where you last parked your WRX. Subu r hot item for the five finger.You can not park it in you own garage without going missing.Great car, goes really fast both ways.

wrx, four wheel drive, can drive it lots better in the rain and snow, and better grip throughout launches.

Get the integra, there are way too many WRXs on the road as it's. P.s. 2.5l road tax should be about $1100 for six months. Insurance depends on your car model and make also.

I think you should go with the Integra. I think WRX is too overrated. but, based on where you live, check to see which car is more high theft. the insurance rates rely on that also. I live in NYC. I see lots of WRX's on the road. I have a subaru impreza 2.5. but subarus aren't high theft here. I park it on the streets everyday. the subaru also has all wheel but you're still not safe on ice. my subaru still skids on ice.

blizzaks = best winter weather traction. wrx = fitted roll cage and super strengthened b pillar for extra safety. if you ever plan to mod your car, you'll get more bang for your buck out of a wrx. ah beng?

I could favor a WRX because it's lots of fun to drive. though Integra type R is good, Integras get stolen lots and messed up. Integras also look cheap. WRX is AWD and that may be good or bad.

you shout purchase WRX is a lot beather that INTEGRA

I personally own a WRX but have test driven Integra's. The WRX is most likely one of the best cars to have for mods and fun. There are so many aftermarket parts available for this car. as well, you may be able to make many performance upgrades without changing the physical look of the car. that means you look less like a ricer and it also does not attract so much attention from patrol cars.

get a WRX STI because to me WRX STI looks nicer than the Integra and it have a better power.
do not judge a book by its cover.

Well, I owned both cars.
1997 Acura Integra GS I loved that car. It was short, sporty, and handled well.
I drove it better than my husband. He races.,but had never had a front well drive car before.
I do miss it, it had lots of PeP, although it is not one of the faster cars out there.
2002 Subaru Impreza WRX I will not give it up. I need the room for my family. it's definately MY Family vechicle, with all the mods I have done to it. although I usually meet w/Subaru gurus during the SEregion. Most of the drivers are younger & into mods. There are enough people out there who can appreciate the factory "settings" & still have loads of fun with the car.
I could say that the Subaru ALL WHEEL Drive is a certain Plus. I have gone through more tires, but IT STICKS TO THE ROAD.. The Integra Interested to attempt & drift, but the WRX is near impossible.. You must be doing some big S..T to get the car to break from the road. Which when you want to take a corner @ 60+ it's awesome.

first I just want to say that WRX's aren't overhyped. they handle well, have awesome top end power, and here in new england the AWD is great.

i personally like both cars lots. they're BOTH sought after so both for a younger man are costly to insure because of performance and theft.

If I looked at acura's in the price range of a WRX, I could look for either a DC2 round lights style Type R, or just jump to a DC5 which is the RSX. Both have about 200hp, close gears and handle great. but the RSX has a sixth gear and the Type R has short gears. The K20 in the RSX is just awesome too, but the B18 is quite remarkable too.

The 2.0 WRX is easy to get tons of power out of. some great and you'd be around 285hp. 04 and newer have a stronger tranny which helps with the ship load of torque. the new 2.5l ones have a bit more get up off the line, but the 2.0 likes to rev more.

overall the two cars stock side by side are close, you just have to drive both to see if you like to raw torque and AWD of a WRX, or the awesome power of the Acura's when v tec kicks in and you push them to 8000+rpms..

I owned both.If you drive 40 50 miles a day.go for the Integra. If this is gonna be your only car.buy the Integra. If you just wanna be stuck behind a semi.buy the Integra. If you're just an average auto tranny driver.yep.get the Integra.

WRX is for Pros. U gotta know about the car before U wanna drive one.If U'r to get a STI..it feels good to hit the gas and see 130mph and still power left to dance. it is just a perfect REAL sports car. Not a wanna be. The bad part is.Premium gas.choppy ride. Tubro maintenance...

At the end.I have sold the Integra and putting in a third stage turbo in my WRX.

if your looking in to performance then its the WRX is the way to go. and if your going all out get the STi. it'll be the best choice ever. you can not stay close to a cobra with a modded type r and you may be able to beat a cobra with a stock STi and we're talking about the 03 04 super charged cobra. if you get the WRX its way better, as far as the trans goes on the WRX it all depens on how you drive it my WRX had 65k miles on it b4 I shattered 2nd gear from too much power, and its an 02. I say WRX all the way.

Can't comment on the Integra but I own a 2004 WRX and I totally love it. Tons of power, great handling and reliable. I have not regretted my buy for a second. The powerband is a bit difficult to get the hang of as it does not really hit till about 3500 rpm but when it does, Wow. The handling is good, a little too much understeer than I'd like but that is not too hard to anticipate and deal with if you know what you are doing. With good tires it handles the snow well but you have to be a more violent that does not mean drive faster for it to really shine in snowy conditions.

If I had to complain, I'd say having to use premium gas is a ache and this car eats tires fast all subaru's do really . it is a mix of the AWD system, weight distribution and the fact that this car is an complete blast to drive fast on windy roads.

All in all, the best car I have ever owned and after I drive it into the ground, I will purchase another one.
