For gas mileage:
RSX gets the best, and is300 gets the worst
For fun driving I would probably say all of them would be because they are sporty cars.
And for bolt ons I'm not really sure.
It's all about preference do you want a japanese made car?
Do you want a car that comes with more horsepower?
Do you want sporty or luxurious?
And big question is would you want front wheel or rear wheel drive?

Personally if I had the money I would go with the is300 because of its sporty/luxurious performance and looks and rear wheel

Stop posting you obviously dont know what your talking about Especially since the SRT-4 is a FOUR DOOR not TWO DOOR FWD making 230HP. At the same time the EVO and WRX both rouhgly are claimed to make exactly the same 300HP.
Not to mention the EVO is the highest insurance rate a person can find from the mid class range. My father was quoted 1900 a year for a WRX, 1100 for the SRT-4, And 4000 a year for the EVO On there multiple car insurance, No points, No tickets, And no accidents for the past 25 years. All in all do some research before you try pulling that **** straight out of your ***.

the wrx makes 300 hp? when did that happen? wrx makes around 224. Maybe you should heed your own advice. And the 2 was a typo, the emphasis was on the FWD compared to the AWD. And btw, im quite familiar with insurance being as my mother works for an car insurance company. https://www.esurance.com/Quote...s.asp lol @ you sayin the evo is the most. Doesnt look that way from the quote i got. Did my research and the dodge was more even tho is cost a grip less than the other two. SRT-$832 EVO-$771 STI-$818 Like to know who quotes your dad. Like i said the srt is more.
