Default Thinking about buying an RSX...

So yeah Im thinking of buying a base RSX. Probably a 2002 automatic because I drive in a lot of traffic on a daily basis. Has anyone had any issues with the automatic transmission? I searched around for issues on autos, but thankfully didnt find much...

if its just a daily driver and you dont care about proformance at all then i think a base auto is ok but i would never personally drive one that was auto.
i also think the RSX seats are too uncomfortable for daily driving. unless your thinking about getting an 05-06

Well I used to have an Integra, and those seats were pretty bad. I actually like the RSX seats...I dont really care about performance at this point..more about handling...

You watch your mouth, you'll get tired of driving around with the A3 (trust me I have one ) and then you want to lightly mod it then after that you will give in and wanna go all out, you know you will, do yourself a favor and get the type-s

There is never any truth to "I won't mod it til later" etc. It never works out that way and then you'll be shooting yourself in the foot for buying an auto. I drive mine in traffic and it blows but then when the traffic opens up it was worth every second of hell!

But what about later? Get the type S, its not a fast car but you will eventually get bored of the base model. Trust me, im saying at as nice as possible.
