I have a feeling that ns is gonna take the subaru dick outta its mouth long enough to tell me wrx, but we will see.

Both have good AWD systems

Both have readily avaliable aftermarket parts

Both are remotely cheap

Which one do you say ns?

the ej25 block is much more friendly to work on..wrx's take a beating...awd system is better..the eg25 sti block can make 400 horsepower reliable pretty easy off pump gass...gettting parts is going to be alot easier
parts for the s60 are more expensive...looks nicer...2.3l engine block is pretty burly..believe it is the same block that the new focus gt uses to make 300+horse power...finding parts for this block is going to be hard

Let me make this a little clearer, it would be an 03 or 04 s60  and an 02-05 wrx.

Oh haiiiiii apples, meet oranges...

Hrmmmmmm...

One is a luxury sports sedan, while the other is a unrefined performance 4 door hatch.


The ONLY thing that is comparable is the price tag, and their power output.
