The thing is Subaru has proven over the years that there cars area as reliable as Hondas. The thing about "slappin" a turbo on it is after taht it's still a 13.7 second car! The WRX is the best bang for the buck when lookin at a NEW car. think about it 4doors,awd,stock turbo,VERY reliable!! But the thing with cars is to each there own! i know if i got a new car it would more then likely be a WRX. the only thing that the wrx TRUELY lacks in is braking.

In its stock form, the RSX Type S has the same specific output as the B18C, and another 201cc. With modifications already available and more on the way (including turbo and aggressive camshafts), I think the K20A2 has tremendous potential, if not more than the B18C. I'll take a stock 200hp motor with a 6 speed transmission any day. Slap a turbo on that, and let it rip.
I compare the WRX to the Eclipse GSX. When introduced, they were the best bang you could get for the buck in a new car. What do they have in common? Stock turbo, 4WD. Now are you about to tell anyone "Do not buy an Integra! Get a DSM!"? I think not.
