unless you plan on modding a lot, only one of those choices is even remotely a performance car

m3

 

M3, best all around car IMO

 

Your worried about cost...drop the M3 from the list.

I've had my 02WRX for 6years...no issues.

 

til this happens

oh and the honda shouldn't even be in the same catagory as the m3.

 

Thats what I wanted to hear, I was really worried about the turbo chagred engine if its high maintenance (never owned one before). I guess 02 Civic Si is out of the picture... But I hear the 02 WRX tranny sucks in the long run...

97BMW M3 VS. 02Subaru WRX

Pros & Cons overall... anyone???


Thanks for those who replied, I really appreciate it!

 

Drop the Si...shouldnt even be on the list.

WRXs are fun as hell but if you get it...upgrade to a PPG gearset...or talk to Andrew at AndrewTech (check nasioc.com, he has a thread)

Love the M3 as well

 

I dont think mine was because of a weak tranny (it only had 4000 miles on the stock rebuild)...i think it was a fuck up on RK subarus end, Andrew at andrewtech seems to think so as well.

But i would still advise upgrading ASAP if you get the rex. PPGs are bulletproof.

 

gotta link to that M3? I just wanna.......look at it.....yeah that's it

 

lol....

 

M3 all day.
