These aren't exactly 'similar' vehicles, really. The tC is a nice looking
little car. Mildly sporty, still front drive, and oddly enough worse gas mileage than at V6 Camry. The RSX is a nice looking
little car and ripe for the aftermarket. WRX... a whole 'nother ball game. None of these vehicles will provide you the room and practical use the Camry offers. But a stock Camry is a much less sporty vehicle in terms of a real driver's car... especially versus the WRX.
I haven't driven any of the other options (though I had been at least mildly interested in the tC for awhile), but I can say I enjoy my 07 SE. It has a hint of sporty intention and a good smooth delivery of horsepower. On the downside, the DBW throttle, slow responding tranny, and pseudo manumatic in the SE take some getting used to... you learn to put up with it, versus learning to love it. The engine
cries for a stick shift to make better use of its power.
I'd still choose the SE over the others, though... better all-around vehicle in terms of performance and practicality, in my mind.
