i have a 2005 wrx that i've had for about 4 months and my neighbor just bought himself a 2.5 rs. He said he didnt want the wrx cause he really didnt need the power (it was cause if he got the wrx hisparents wouldnt pay half0. anyways, he got the auto and it drives pretty nice, u can tell ur not in a wrx though. i got him to launch it and the power was not bad. the 2.5 rs is a real nice car. i just didnt like how it didnt carry the same things the wrx got in 2005. his interior is same as 04, and he got 04 rims and exhaust.
