This is my first post. I have test drive a wrx this week, I think I liked it, na overwhelmed ako sa acceleration niya! It was a great experience. The one im using now is a stock and beaten 96 lancer. I enjoy cornering with our lancer but i was put off by the heavyness of the subie clutch.
Now I wonder if the subie will fit me?
I also took the gta for a test drive, no complaints for an evryday car.
The GTA a 2.0L non-turbo regular FWD Lancer, the WRX is AWD turbocharged 2.5L flat four. That's an apples to oranges comparison on performance alone. The clutch will be heavier on the WRX because of the power it has, if it used the same clutch as the Lancer GT it would burn it the first year you own it. If you like the power get the WRX but if you feel the clutch is too much for you on a daily basis with the traffic then get the Lancer.
BTW that WRX power comes at the expense of fuel economy so unless you don't mind spending money to feel that power then the Lancer may be a better choice.

yup2, u certainly wont get the same acceleration with the lancer. i'd go for the subbie na lang. unless you drive in 100% city driving then the lancer is logical choice. but if its going to be your 2nd or 3rd car then get the wrx. the direct comparison of the lancer gta would be the impreza 2.0 A/T which can be had for around 1.1m
the wrx and the lancer has a large power difference which explains the price gap. if you could afford one, go get the wrx since oil prices are cheaper for now

can one get used to the wrx's clutch on a daily basis?
yeah this will be my primary car, but i've read that the wrx is a great everyday car when your concern is not about getting from point a to b.
i also know that this is apple and oranges, but this more about helping me figure out which one i want and now what i need. i remember last year between choosing a a vaio media laptop vs a macbook pro, i was given the vaio first but ended up having the mbp after 6mos. when i've driven the lancer, it did made me smile, its a great car. but with the wrx test drive, its a whole new level.
Subaru Impreza 2.0 R Sport AT vs Mitsu Lancer EX GT-A?
Guys,
If you were to choose between Subaru Impreza 2.0 R Sport AT vs Mitsubishi Lancer EX GT-A, what will you choose? and why? Price is almost the same, engine both 2.0, AWD vs RWD?
Re: Subaru Impreza 2.0 R Sport AT vs Mitsu Lancer EX GT-A?
i would be biased na pag sinabi kong subaru na ko kasi if i were to choose diba? sasamantalahin ko na haha! pero no. reality check siguro kung everyday driving then id go for the lancer. i feel its really a big car na compare sa mga previous gen. masarap din idrive yan for sure. kung porma gala lang naman at special occasions edi subaru na woot hehe
pero if i'll follow what my heart desires at walang restrictions then its really the subaru po kahit na ba pinataob nanaman siya ng lancer sa features

pero some say na yung 2.0 impreza beats some compact's fuel economy
nako di ko rin nabasa, wrx pala akala ko r sport lang pero ayos lang ganun pa rin hehe.
pero from what i know (di ko sure) ang lancer merong 8 airbags yata as default. tapos isang malupit na rockford fosgate (yummy..)
08 WRX or 08 Lancer gta ?
