Are they really? Didn't they dis-continue the RSX? How can the RSX be "so much better" as you put it when they share virtually identical componentry?

SI FTW!

yea but you know what? (this isnt directed towards anyone) but me living in so-cal and seeing so many rsx's, no matter what you do to one, its always going to look like another i had just seen at some point in time. at least with the 8th gen, there is more diversity in the looks than the rsx-s.

well because its acura brand and you'll get the leather seats. the 210 hp and the civic body looks outdated compared to the RSX (headlights, fenders, front bumper). I mean if the Si never came to the sedan i would have bought a used 2005 RSX-S instead thats all i'm saying

^ the civic looks much fresher to me considering it debuted in 06' compared to the 01 or 02 rsx....the leather in my buddy's 01 was cracking....leather smeather....

agreed, I like the si sedan so bad, but not so much on the rsx-s

wildabeast

its actually NOT 210hp. thats just based on old rating system. new rating system, the rsx and si are same HP. :-p
rsx is lighter by like... 50lbs? give or take.
i'd rather have lsd and an extra 50lbs.

The FA5's first debuted as a MY2007, so any discussion about how a sedan is better, is beyond the scope of this thread. Moreover as far as this thread/poll is concerned, the comparison is between a 2006 FG2 and 2006 DC5S.

And again, posting this question in a civic forum is completely pointless.

I'm done here.

leather is overrated, all it does is cook your *** cheeks in the summer.

Actually with the new rating system (SAE) it's 201 so they are not quite the same. Acura has 4 more ponies.

I never said a sedan is better. I really don't think one car here is better than the other, its all about which one i like more.
There is no such thing as an rsx 4 door. So the most alike comparison between these cars would be the rsx-s and 2 door civic si. In that case i like the rsx better. Lsd is the main difference that the civic has, but if that meant so much to me its still nowhere near enough to make me choose the si - i would just add lsd to the rsx.

I wasn't aiming my post any one in particular, but just to point out that this poll involves a pair of two door vehicles.

1. Acura brand? In Japan, It's called a Honda RSX
2. Leather and hot outside temps don't mix. Especially when you wear shorts.
3. There is no dif between the DC5 A3 and the FG2/FA5 Z3 in terms of HP.
4. You can get a factory kit and up the exterior of the civic. Also, if you have the cash, you can go ahead and get the sedan CTR conversion. They also have kits for the coupe that recently hit the market.

Civic FTW

Uhh isn't it still the Integra in Japan and not the RSX?

Willie Mack

OH! My fault. Nice correction kind sir.

I own an EP3 which has a very similar platform to the RSX-S (minus a good engine) and from personal experience this suspension design is very limited in its performance potential. I would get the FG2 11 times out of 10 simply for that reason.

Oem LSD Ftw, even though it's as good as the oem clutch. Good enough for light tunes.

Honda Integra

Correct in hotter climates. How short are your shorts?

The difference is IVTEC on both intake and exhaust. The A3 produced 160 hp while Z3's make 197 hp.

The DC5's had the Acura A-Spec kits that include aero bits, wheels, etc. that parallel Honda's HFP kits.

Biased question in a biased forum.

I'd choose the RSX for looks alone
