Hi all. Is there anyone of you significantly drove both a Mustang GT and
a WRX? I have a 96 GT and I'm thinking of changing it for a 02-04 WRX
Sedan. I live in Quebec and my Mustang is too stiff for our freaking
horrible roads. So is the WRX would ride smoother?

Thanks.

The UK WRX is the best all rounder I have ever had, blasts through the hills at 90mph or tootles round
town at 10mph. The suspension is superb with little body roll. but superb damping with no real harshness.

Mines better than the Audi A4 1.9Tdi i had & that was nice (& 7k more!) it didnt even come close to the
performance of the Subaru!

Buy one mate, dont window shop!

Make sure to test drive a STI while your at the dealership.

As someone else said, why not drive them yourself? If you want to
decide by reading about, check out the latest Road & Track - Mustang GT
went head to head with WRX and some other cars.

Uhhhh, in many cases, stiffness means well tuned suspension. The STi is
notoriously stiff, but it's the price you pay for tremendous grip.

I owned a 97' Mustang Cobra until I bought a 2002 WRX which I
currently own. I found both performed similarly during the summer
months with a slight edge to the Mustang when you stomp the gas (and
the sound of that engine about 3000rpm was SWEEEET!), but during the
winter and dicey conditions the Subaru is far, far superior. As
Alberta weather is mostly winter with some warm days thrown in to make
you discard the idea of living in an igloo year round, I would only go
back to a Mustang if I moved south where it never snowed. So, I get
the performance of my old Mustang in a car that is practical all year
round.

If it's still a live issue, I was just going through some old car mags
and realized the Mustang GT v. WRX article was in latest Sports Car
International, not in Road & Track. I get too many car mags to keep it
straight.
