No offense, but I think as a first car, this one may be out of your league. Also, insurance can get pretty pricey.

I'm 16 and looking to get my first car, i've been looking at the WRX and SRT4 the most... What do you think? I'll be using it mostly as a Daily driver, and a weekend warrior at the drag strip... Any other suggestions?

Hey.. I'm sure a integra that is built right would own most of the track!!! They are very good cars.. but obviosly your not on this forum for an integra sooo.. I'm gonna have to say go with the Subaru!!! They are not that horribly expensive these days depending on what year, mileage, etc.. The Impreza wrx is an extremely reliable car and I think you'll find that it's a little more well rounded than the Srt-4!!! Hope that helps!I want to win a couple of those races on the track...

I honestly wanted an Integra almost all throughout my childhood, based solely on looks, but now I wouldn't have the money to tune one correctly.Hey..

SRT-4 and WRX...
Well ok lets begin
1) WRX is AWD : SRT-4 is FWD
2) SRT-4 Comes stock with a BOV and the rear windows are rollers.
3) WRX is more reliable and safe
4) SRT-4 doesnt look appealing to me
5) I always hear about axles breaking or something on SRT-4
6) WRX will break too if you launch at redline or cant drive
7) WRX insurance is cheaper (im 17 so i would know what you will see)
If the SRT-4 was worth buying I would think all of us would have them considering they cost quite a bit less than a wrx.
It all depends on what you're looking for though. I wouldn't recommend you taking either car to the track until you know what you're doing, though.

Not Really, all he will do is raise our insurance rates. A 16 year old should not have either car. I imagine the SRT-4 will teach him that lesson faster than the WRX.
AND THE SRT-4 Is TEH FASTARRRRRRRR

When I was 16 I had a 115hp GTI, and looking back I'm d@mn glad I did (wayyyy slow). I wouldn't say it's completely inevitable, but just extremely likely, that you'll do some stupid sh!t driving-wise when you're 16, 17 or so. I'm only 24 and have owned some much faster cars since (including the Rex), but the best (most reasonable) advice I could give would be to get something cheaper and much slower - obviously not what you want to hear.
FWIW, it seems like the SRT-4 is a better drag car...
Lol.. well to be fair people said the same about me when I posted in regards to buying a WRX. However I was a year older and had driven a manual car for a year as well as a powerful one, I never did anything stupid though but you're probably right in all reality

^Hes right. In all honesty you will probably do stupid things if you had either one as a first car. Luck/Fate would determine the outcome of said activities. Is this your first car? If not what was
My first car was a 86 camry. Boat sized steering wheel FTW!

Get a 85 Volvo 240GL. You will never die. You can go 75+mph. With the right rims you will be "pimpin". My insurance rate won't go up. Yours will be CHEAP and you can afford gas. You will learn how to drive. Getting your license doesn't mean you know how to drive well enough to handle a faster car. There are some people that never learn. Please never drive and talk on the cell phone at the same time, you will get cancer. Don't be stupid, don't speed (more than 10 over...). Good luck with whatever you do get, welcome to the club!
