Default Torn between two cars.. need some opinions

Well I am getting raid of the Si and thinking about either a S2K or a WRX. They both have there pros and cons. Basically i can only afford to have one car so this will be my DD. I have had honda for 5 yrs now that is what is pushing my to stick with the S2K due to my vaste knowledge of the Honda family. But also i want to try something different with the WRX. Also i live in the south so S2K are kinda easy to find for sale (3 local) and WRX are rare for us. I have heard the opinions from the WRX people now its the S2K owners turn.

What do you want it FOR. You can't carry much in the '2k so, for a DD it might be too tight. The WRX is a fine car but, it's a sedan pretending to be a sports car whereas the S2000 is a real sports car.

There's no right or wrong answer. It just depends on what you want from the car. For a DD, I'd take the WRX. My S2000 wasn't a DD, I have my truck for that.

Since you're a Hobbit, space shouldn't be an issue. But you might want the security of a hard top to prevent your gold ring from being stolen.

My vote, S2k.

Where exactly do you live? If you don't need the awd, then I say forget the wrx.
I was deciding between a wrx wagon and a s2k surprisingly enough. I test drove both, and the s2k put a smile on my face everytime. I may regret the decision when it snows, but it was s2k for me. Really depends on your needs. I'm 24 with no kids, and the s2k is more then adequate as a daily driver for me, it has all the space I need.

The WRX is probably a better daily, but I would say that the S2K is waaaaay more enjoyable to drive, hands down.

Turbo fastness? Unless your talking about an STI then an S2000 would fulfill this need for speed better than a WRX would. If you have absoultely no need for a back seat then I would go S2000. But if you sometimes drive around lots a people, then I would go WRX. If you are going to add a lot of modds, I would go WRX. They are both great cars.
