07 civic 2.0S-L or 2nd hand 02 WRX

**kyle618** · March 6th, 2007 10:41 PM

we're planning to get a replacement for the exalta... the civic is 1.117m. yun 2nd hand WRX (bugeye) is orig lhd daw. 1.15m daw ok na ba yun price? i dont know the mileage pa e. parang mas masaya un WRX in the long run pero syempre iba ang brand new. will be my daily driver.

what you guys think? i really want the wrx but feel ko sobra lakas sa gas and M/T will be tiring. meron bang 03 wrx (d ko kasi masyado type un 02 looks ng wrx= bugeye) for around 1.2m? orig LHD sana. medyo long shot yun wrx but if its in good condition masmabilis ma convince dad ko haha.

I would not buy a WRX for daily drive, 2nd or 3rd car ok lang. Sa huli palagi ang pagsisisi.

care to elaborate on why?
kakapagod? lakas sa gas?

i'd rather go w/ the civic, mas practical siya sa situation mo dahil brand new and w/ warranty, not unless kukuha ka ng bagong sti sa motor image. ako dati ko pa gusto magkaimpreza at forester ngayon ko lang nakuha nung nagkaroon ulit ng showroom for subaru sa pinas

You answered your question +expensive parts daw( clutch release bearing 15,000) resale value?
Weekend, 2nd or 3rd car I'd buy an STI (USDM) na brand new. Pag magaling nagconvert you wont notice the difference. Reminder lang walang naka turbo na d inuupakan.

civic ka na bro. be more practical

next time na un wrx pag 2nd car... pang weekend.. sarap nun..

You're comparing a brand new car vs. a 2nd hand. Mas preferred siyempre ang brand new. Less headache.

Just save up money and when you sell your brand new civic in the future that is the time you buy a brand new Impreza. Sigurado mas maeenjoy mo ito.

Daily driver? I'd go with the Civic. Matic, brand new with warranty, less headaches in general. Pili ka na lang ng dealer na ok mag-service. If it's a 2nd car, pwede nga yung WRX.

On a side note, sing tigas ba nung clutch ng Evo 6 ang clutch ng WRX?

sa civic ka na kung daily driver. brand new means less headache, plus may warranty pa. as most of them has commented, weekend car ok ang wrx, pang out of town.

They're about even on pedal pressure, but the WRX clutch goes in much deeper. Takes a while to get used to.

GDB Imprezas are pretty comfy on the stock suspension. Maybe better even than the civic. If you're used to manuals they are very usable on a day to day basis. If you're not used to manuals.. Yari sa traffic! heheh
