Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Subaru WRX than the Genesis G70, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Genesis G70 and the Subaru WRX in the front seats.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Genesis G70 as you will with the Subaru WRX, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Genesis G70 is somewhat more expensive than the Subaru WRX.

Dimensions
The Genesis G70 is a little wider than the Subaru WRX, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. When looking at overall length, the Genesis G70 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Subaru WRX.

Handling
The Genesis G70 has a larger turning radius than the Subaru WRX, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Genesis G70 has less horsepower than the Subaru WRX, so it will probably be somewhat slower.

Powertrain
With similar torque, the Genesis G70 and the Subaru WRX do an equal job of transmitting their engine's power to their wheels.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Genesis G70 and the Subaru WRX.
