sometimes garages dont stop thieves. but yea i bet i couldnt sleep well either if i had a typeR. plus i bet lots of people on the streets want to touch it n what not. i cant stand fingerprints on my car and windows

 

im kinda having similar dilema. wat do you guys think? itr,rsx-s, or civic hatch w/ motor swap???

 

Go with the type s. Forget the hype R and the hatchcrap

 

so is the "hype r" really just hyped? (never own or ridden one)

i agree with that as well. you get a new car, very clean and 200 hp on tap, and from what i read before times are very similar with type r and the rsx type s. get a car that is new instead of something used.

thats my 2 cents.

 

My buddy has one and I've driven it a few times and I wasn't all that impressed.

If I had to go with a teg, I would just buy a gsr unless I got a really good deal on an R.

 

Keep the R. You will regret getting rid of it. A garage is your friend.

 

like i sait.. R are overated... new car, new product.. keep the RSx.. and don't worry about the rest!!! being there, done that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

every honda is overrated .....

but the ITR is an excellent track toy ..out of the box ...the RSX-s is not .....

 

DC2 ITR &gt; DC5 RSX-S

 

u right R are the best for track... but street wise.. i rather have and rsx..u don't have to worry about getting that car stolen that much,,, unlike the R, i couldn't even feel safe with it in my garage

 

unless if you live like somewhere in irvine, where you can leave it unlocked in front of your house with no problems (gated community shiet..) =P

but yeah.. you have a new car, and type R's have really high prices and ****..
you should keep your type S..
it has potential too.
