scrap both of them and do yourself a favor, check out the mitsubishi Evo. it is faster, out handles, out accelerates adn flat out out performs anything else out there.

Convertible or hardtop? This is what it would come down to for me. Personally, l do not care all that much for open-air motoring. l had a targa top car & took the top off only when a passenger asked how it worked.

The Subaru is probably easier to live with on a day-to-day basis, because u do not have to keep on top of the revs to have any power. At 10/10ths, the Subaru is also going to leave a lot of cars in the dust that the Honda will be chasing after - either off the line or in the curves.

S2000 won the top gear user survey 3 years in a row. So anyone who has one loves it. They're both good on reliability, the Impreza has technically better handling, but u may have more fun with an s2000 as its limits r easier to reach. Getting the tail out in an Impreza requires completely insane driving. The s2000 is also easier to live with as its not set up like a rally car & u wo not go nuts with the noise when u just want to cruise. As for high end power, the Impreza is turbocharged & the s2000 has vtec, so u will have to rev high to get the most power out of either. IMO the s2000 is far better looking too, & u wo not look like a bank robber.
l vote s2000.

l personally have a 2006 WRX Limited. It is one of the most fun cars l have ever driven. Also handles good in the snow up here in the Pacific NW.

They're r not even remotely the same class. The S2000 is a RWD torqueless coupe, while the STi is a rally bred asphalt chewing monster. At a track in the hands of professionals the S2000 should be edge out an STi, however the STi is much more forgiving in the hard stuff thanks to AWD & a pretty linear power band, & is MUCH more fun as a daily driver. The S2000 is an anemic wonder driving around town until u get into the coveted vtec land. The STi has a little bit of turbo lag but anything past 3k rpms is point it & punch it. Off the line a properly driven STi will eat an S2000 for snacks. l love the feel of an AWD launch, there is nothing quite like it(at least for small displacement 4 bangers). Stock to stock, from a roll, The STi & S2k r pretty close until about 90mph when the STis downforce starts to become a burden & the s2k will slowly pull on it. Slap on either an ECU remap(like an accessport) or turbo back, or both on the STi, & the S2000 can not keep up until it gets some sort of forced induction. From a dig an STi can get enough of a lead to keep it all they way up.

Modding is when the STi really shows it is colors. one of my friends has a supercharged S2000, & for the same money he put in to get to a little under 300whp(Comptech S/C, aftercooler, Comptech header, Comptech exhaust, about $10K) l am putting about 500hp to the ground on pump gas(GT35R, Helix cams, Helix turbo back, APS FMIC, crower stroker kit, & hydra. About $10k). From a dig, roll, in the twisties, l eat him for snacks, not even close to the same class. With 4 people in my car & two in his, he is still a play toy to me.

It all boils down to what u want. If u want a good looking drop top coupe that will attract the ladies, & do not mind driving about town at 6000rpms just so you're in the power band, but want a very capable RWD track car, the S2000 is a great choice. The STi is just a different breed. If u want a very forgiving monster that has enough room to bring the S2000 owners girlfriend over to pick up her 2 other hot friends after u smoke the S2000 for a little 4 way fun, the STi is the way to go.

Personally l like the stealth bit. l have a wrx rear spoiler, RS hood(no nostril), & a black fmic. With 500hp to the ground she is an unassuming sedan till some retard with a fart cannon decides to play with me, then she turns into a giant silver can of whoopass & there r not many things on the road that will keep up. Before someone comments, yes, l know there r plenty of capable cars that would eat me alive, however those cars r few & far between. As soon as l get back to to the US l am heading in for a C16 tune & looking for 600-650whp & contemplating installing a 5gallon fuel cell & secondary fuel system for those times that l need that little extra oomph.

Different strokes for different folks, pick what car u like best, there is really no wrong answer between the two cars.

Both are nice. l like the looks of the Honda but the Subaru is a better car for all of what you want.

Go for the best of the both worlds.Get a turbocharged rear wheel drive coupe. Get a Fairlady 350Z & install the APS Twin Turbo Kit. 420HP 9psi of boost.No turbo lag with street drivability & engine reliability!

both cars are good, but the ST l is an all wheel drive and the S200 is a rear wheel drive..i would personally pick the ST l than the honda.
