How much $$$ do you have, and how much of it are you willing to spend? What are your main goals for your next car? Drag racing? Auto-X? Nice daily driver? You must take all of these into account. Go test drive the RSX. The decision should be based on your wants/needs. Of course everyone in here will want you to get the DC5. I'm sure you'll love it, but make sure it's what you want.

what got me in it was the interior..then of course the engine

I would say DC5 - try something new if you feel you can make the best out of it to your own standards.

Don't ruin your investiment with a mis-shift if you decide the Type S.

Regardless of your standards for the topic, I wanted to share my positive perspective anyway.

well i'm pretty sure my insurance isn't going to give me back a lot of money.........so i was thinking. if i get the ek, i have to start all over again (interior, motor, coil/shocks, jdm goodies). i did that with my eg .... I just want a car that's pretty much set already so i wouldn't have to do much to it.......i like the rsx's style.....nice interior + great motor......

i was thinking about making it an autocross/daily driven car...........besides......i don't need to be really fast........i love my eg w/ the jdmb18c........love the speed......but i'll be happy with the stock type S speed.......

and yes my eg did have an alarm...

i'm probably going to put a down payment on the car when the insurance covers me.
