Default RSX-S owners: are you happy with your car?

With an MSRP of 23k; do you think your car was worth the price and why?
Thanks!

might be buying a car over the summer, but I don't know if I can bear looking at a WRX everyday..I really like the RSX-S with the oem kit no spoiler..

I'm not an owner, but I was considering the same thing you are... S with OEM skirts. FWIW, after much resistence from my local dealers, I got e-mailed the other day that they might accept $22k for one (minus the OEM skirts), plus TTL.

I'm waiting until May to get serious about purchasing. Then, if the deal isn't there, wait for the '04's.

jsut my opinion, but id say go for the WRX. four door, factory turbo (reliable), nice looks, AWD, better handling, great aftermarket support, and much much more. i dunno, get what you want, thats just my opinion

get an rsx man! with 200 hp to the flywheel compared to wrx 220 something....its only 20 more and the wrx is turboed. the rsx-s got more potential plus parts for the wrx is hella expensive if it breaks.

Yeah, but the WRX is AWD and will kill the RSX-S on the 1/4 mile and track.

exactly. except for the looks part. im not a big fan of the RSX's looks, but it's far better than the WRX...decisions..maybe a Mini Cooper S..I just want a fun commuter without getting killed for insurance.
