According to Urban Dictionary, it would seem a WRX is NOT a ricer, unless of course it is covered in stickers from part manufactures.
1. ricer 4201 up, 378 down
(Ricer: from the latin word Ricarius meaning to suck at everything you attempt)
A person who makes unecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster. The most common modifications are (but not limited to):
- Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder
- Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747
- Lots of after-market company stickers they don't have parts from, but must be cool
- Expensive rims that usually cost more than the car itself
- Bodykit to make the car appear lower, usually accented with chicken wire
- Clear tail lights and corner signals
- A "performace intake"- a tube that feeds cold air to their engine usually located in areas of excessive heat (behind or on top of the engine)
- Most of these riced cars (a.k.a. rice rockets or rice burners) are imports; Honda Civics, Accords, Integras, CRXs, RSXs, Del Sols Mitsubishi Eclipses, Lancers, Subaru Imprezas, however there are some domestics such as Chevrolet Caviliers, Dodge Neons, Ford Focus; small, slow, economy cars designed specifically to go slow. Please note that some Supras, Skylines, WRX's and other higher performance imports are designed to go fast, and are therfore not always considered rice. It really depends on the severity of the case.
The "ricer" attempts to make their car "performance" by adding the modifications listed above. These ricers are not confined to any one ethnic group or color, however different ethnic groups are known for certain styles.
Honda Civics with big spoilers and 4" exhaust tips are considered to be ricers.

Ok, after reading this thread a little more I feel that I need to contribute especially after owning bot WRX and MINI.
Some of you have twisted logic here calling WRX "rice". Well it's as rice as your moded MINI. Most of the modifications done to WRX and Sti are fully functional including full exhaust that produces substantial gain in HP and TQ.
Just as some of you can't justify spending $35k on a 4 door sedan that is seriously fast and potent, I would not justify spending north of $20k on a 2 door FWD car that is much less functional than Subaru (how much does Cooper works cost??
) .
WRX and especially STi are totally different vehicles than any MINI, and are much more capable with minimal investment.
Just take a basic 2.5 WRX, get is used throw some basic mods and you're looking at much faster car than any cooper S with pricetag very similar to stock Cooper S. Not to mention the advantage of having AWD vehicle.
Not to mention that the sound of a free flowing boxer engine is to die for.
