This is the best rendition of the exhaust that I've heard from a Canadian MS3 owner:

I don't know, the MSP even though it was underpowered did/does very well on a track much better than you would expect.Matthew said:
Well, my P5-T had plenty of torque steer and wheel hop, even with upgraded motor mounts. The LSD on the MSP isn't all that wonderful, so I still say that the WRX is going to be a better drag car. Now, you can take the MSP and run from a roll all day long, but even when I had my FWD car in its torque steer and wheel hop glory, I would rather lose to an AWD car from a stop as opposed to a cheap win from a roll.FI_FSDE said:

Oh lol, drag course... I meant a road course, that's the kind of track I meant.(peep)Matthew said:

Good Heavens, are you talking about illicit street racing? If you are, I suppose I can understand your comment about a "cheap win", as you say. I, however, am not referring any such illegal activities. I am referring only to sanctioned competition events on a closed course with proper head gear and full insurance in which winning in a roll-on is the considered the polite alternative to winning by rudely jostling the other racers out of the way.

AWD>FWD This is an easy choice for me. The huge aftermarket for the wrx would another reason to go with the subaru.
To be honest, I would go with a 07 civic si if I went back to fwd. 240 whp n/a with a few mods, and no torque steer problems, because there is no low end torque lol.

Car insurance on the WRX is $$$$$
Chances are the MS3 wouldn't be much more then a Mz3.
No AWD on the MS3 was a huge problem for me. My car would be driven all year around. While I don't think I would have a problem with the car in the winter, there's another person driving my car that certainly would...the woman.
But, no decent subie dealer here so between these two, I'd have to pick the MS3.
Now, if you mean the WRX wagon vs the MS3....this is a no brainer, that damn subie wagon is fugly.

The 2007 Civic Si has 200 hp at the CRANK.Gaboost said:AWD>FWD This is an easy choice for me. The huge aftermarket for the wrx would another reason to go with the subaru.

As has been mentioned, all this conjecture is worth nothing. Wait until you drive the car and then make your decisions. If you don't like it after you drive it then walk away and leave it for the next guy. There will be lots of people waiting in line to take it off your hands.
After all, these are only cars. Some people will like the MS3 for various reasons, others will like the WRX for other reasons. Others still will like both of the cars for even other reasons. Ultimately, you drive what you like. Lots of people criticizing them drive neither. Neither of these cars is a LADA; they will both have strengths and weaknesses compared to each other, and other cars.
