Imperza WRX vs. Pulsar GTI-R:
What would you rather have? Based on fun to drive, performance, reliability, parts available, etc. As well any thoughts about either car? or any other recommended car in that AWD class.
I’m looking for a new car so if anyone see either one of those cars could you let me know.

I'm going out on a Limb here and gonna assume your buying a jdm car, my first choice would be a wrx. Just something about the GC8 that I really like!

I would imagine a GTI-R being harder to find parts.

WRX is a more common car so parts might be easier.

I am certain both are going to be fun cars to drive and since they are in the same class, performance isnt that far off of each other.

Voted WRX because its more functional, pulsar is too small to go on any roadtrips or anything like that, which is important to me. Subaru probably has more parts available too. Pulsar does have an sr20 so im sure engine parts are available, but other parts(body, interior, suspension etc) could be hard to get.
They both have very similar HP ratings so I'm guessing performance is close to equal. If anything the GTI-R might be quicker due to light weight?

wrx

pulsar parts well some are a bitch to source.
the sr20det in the pulsar is different from other sr20s

but having said that both would be much fun to drive..AWD...2.0 turbo.

Pulsar is a light car though,and the stock brakes are shitty!

WRX. More reliable, just as fast and fun, easier to get parts.

I had a GTIR before and I would choose the WRX if i could do it over again. Both are fun but the pulsar is a bitch for parts.
