How much different are they?
 

How much difference in terms of performance on the road is there between the jap import WRX and a uk my00 turbo 2000? im not really interested about performance figures for the both just is there a noticeable difference between the both. Thanks for any comments Dan

Having driven both (own a WRX and used to borrow my mates 2000 regularly) there is in my opinion quite a difference. I found the 2000 to be slightly more tail happy (could have been tyre or suspension related). The WRX is more powerful. The WRX is geared more for acceleration as all Jap cars are restricted to 112mph (180kmh) so out on the open road the UK will cruise better and is probably more fuel efficient because of that. For everyday driving, i.e. legal speeds, the WRX car i feel is the better car to drive, to me it feels more alive and the extra acceleration is definitely noticeable.

Hope that helps.

Thats great thanks, i used to own a WRX about 3 years ago and im just wondering really if i would still be happy with a 2000 if i got one. Dan

depends on the year of wrx

97 onwards wrx`s are ****en fast cars as standerd IMO

My WRX was a 95/M.

Personally i would choose the MY00 over the MY95...as its alot newer, Looks better and cheap to insure...

...Plus you can always do mods to make the power up... :D

Thanks 4 all the replies, will probabaly go 4 a my00. Dan
