Impreza WRX vs Genesis Coupe

Subaru Impreza WRX vs Hyundai Genesis Coupe

parang anlayong ipagcompare no? pero ito kasi yung dalawang car na pinagpipilian ko eh.. I want it to look sporty kasi, and medyo rare..(huh?) yung di mo masyado makikita sa daan parang ganun.. hehe.. so ano kayang mas maganda?

[foresterx]

stock to stock gc na ko. pero if you're planning to mod it, wrx ako. pero depende din yan kung anong set-up ang gagawin, for circuit ba or drag or just twisties in the mountain. if curcuit and mountain pass, wrx talaga since awd you'll have an advantage because of it's grip and you can use it for rally also. plus the wrx has so many mods available,with just a full exhaust, cia, ecu tune it'll give an extra 50-75hp already and you can even do a full STi swap on it. pero stock to stock i'll say gc is a much better choice especially that it's already equipped with brembo brakes.

The WRX is a car that is slight more practical, having four doors.

The GC has only two doors and the rears seats are not that comfy for longer drives.

The question is what is your plans once you have bought the car? Modify for better performance or keep stock?

If it's keep (mostly) stock, the Gen.Coupe might be the choice. Simple external detail upgrades like wheels, aftermarket front grille and body kits would make it look better.

If you are planning to modify it for better power & handling, the WRX might be the choice car for you. The aftermarket is full of options especially if your budget is relatively unlimited.

How about the Lancer EVO X ??

I'd say Genesis Coupe for the porma and WRX for the practicality. If you want to tune with the Genesis, take the 2.0T, that particular engine is basically a Mitsubishi 4B11 but with a few inferior parts compared to the Evo engine to keeps costs down.

[saipeme]

they are both 1.7m+ (manual trans)

sa look gc nobody can deny
228hp vs 303hp
sport fabric seat vs sport leader seat
traditional ignition key vs start/stop button

genesis coupe even my eyes close....

Those are two very different beasts in philosophy IMHO. About the only things they share are turbocharging and price (not sure if displacement is the same on both, I think the WRX has a 2.5L mill).

The Genesis Coupe might be cheaper to run simply because the engine drives only one pair of wheels - and by extension you will have less CV joints to maintain too. AWD has never done Subaru any favors in fuel economy.

On the other hand...the Impreza is more practical by design. You could reasonably imagine it becoming a daily driver accommodating a girlfriend/spouse, a couple of kids, or any number of adult passengers greater than 1 or less than 5. Though habitable at the back for short trips, the Genesis Coupe is more of a one-trick pony.

Two different beasts.

Just wait for the 2011 WRX.But I suggest na mag Genesis Coupe ka nalang!

thanks for the inputs guys.. sa ngayon im leaning to the GC.. mas gusto ko kasi talaga yung porma ng GC.. sa mga mods, i'm not into performance mods masyado.. more on visual ako.. siguro ang pinaka performance mod ko na gagawin e exhaust.. since student palang naman ako, I opt for the GC 2.0T.. kasi aanuhin ko naman yung 3.8 V6 kung di ko naman malalabas yung potential ng car kasi puro city driving lang naman.. minsan lang naman ako makadaan sa highway.. and lumalaklak din ata ng gasolina yung V6 eh.. haha!

GC ka na...

yaman nga students ngayon.

[GTi]

Maswerte ah! Student palang ganun na ang binibili na sasakyan! Mas konti power sa 2.0T at 210ps kumpara sa 2.5WRX na 230ps. Pero 4B11 yang 2.0 na yan... the WRX's worst enemy. All you have to do is plop in the plug and play Unichip and there you go!

wahaha! di ako mayaman.. bibilan lang ako ng pinsan ko.. sana nga matuloy eh.. assuming lang ako matuloy.. hehe.. pinagppray ko.. so GC na talaga? hehe.. di naman ako masyado mabilis magdrive.. defensive driver ako..

thanks talaga sa mga inputs mga bro..

[ghosthunter]

sana may pinsan din ako na ganyan!

As a student, I think the GC is better. After all, you don't have kids to bring to school and you'd be mostly travelling alone. While in STI form the Impreza can be quite a looker, a Gen Coupe, being a coupe, is traditionally more of a looker, and that's what counts for you, right?

Price wise, I find the 2.0T very near the 3.8 V6 so if I had the money to get a GC I'd get the V6, since having 1.8M probably means I can pay gas. But since you're only getting it as a gift and the fuel costs related to it aren't covered, the 2.0T makes sense for you.

On a side note, yes mayayaman na students ngayon. In our school there are about 4 GCs. Oh, and a C63 AMG. That's right, a C63 AMG driven by a student to school, daily.

Student ka pa lang pala.

One friendly tip: This early on, don't overwhelm yourself with too much power. Build up your skills and confidence first.

Good call on the 2.0T, that should be more than enough.

[renzo_d10]

I`d go for the Genesis Coupe.

If you got more money to burn, go for an EVO X.

Or a 2nd hand STi ( bug-eyed ) because admittedly I kinda don't like the current STi/WRX unless of course it is modded like the white Impreza of Speedlab.

haha! sana lahat tayo meron.. lahat mayaman na..

yes, parang mas priority ko yung looks kaysa sa performance.. pero siyempre yung may ibubuga naman.. baka muka lang mabilis, di pala mabilis.. hehe.. yung sakto lang..

right, kaya mas pinili ko yung 2.0T kaysa sa V6.. baka bigla akong manggigil sa silinyador, maaksidente pa ko.. hehe.. (wag naman sana..)


thanks talaga sa mga inputs bros.. sana talaga matuloy to.. (praying.. praying..)

[crossdx]

I had your dilemma (sort of) almost a year ago... I say go for the Gen Coupe, it seems to be more up your alley for what you're going to be using it for, based on what you've posted.

yong 2.0T kung ndi yan mabilis parang sinabi mo yong mga V6 camry at V6 accord ay ndi din mabilis 0-100kph nyan almost similar to them 6.8-7.0 secs...
