If you are set on getting an import the WRX is the no brainer here. The GSR has no torque at all, and just doesn't compare to the WRX in any way. Yes the GSR is a little cheaper but that is about all it has on the WRX. Plus do you just want to be ANOTHER guy in an Acura/ Honda? I have nothing aginst Honda's or Acura's but the WRX is in another league as for as I am concerned.
