Default Question for those of you who have driven an RSX

I need some help from the Teg guys. Heres my problem I have a 92 Civic Si that I was planning on going hybrid next summer and then starting to save for an RSX or an S2000. This is where you guys come in should I just buy a used Teg and make a pimp ride I already know what I would do, or should I wait and get the RSX or the S2000(in like 3yrs)

Just to hurt all of your guys's feelings if you ever want to try and get a better deal on a S2000 INVOICE for them is 27k and MSRP is 32k so all these ppl that sell used ones that want 37k you should be able to haggle them.. the joys of working at a car dealership.. to bad the only car's I can get at invoice is american trash.. like chrysler/benz/dodge/chev/gm and that crap..

I think I am to much of a die hard Honda fan that I can't stray away right now. I do love the new RX8 though. That thing makes like 200+ hp from a 1.3l engine.
UGG I HATE SUV(Stupid Unreliable Vehicles) I think they are the biggest waste of space on the road today.

Mazda only counts one combustion chamber per rotor for displacement. So the 13B is listed as 1.3L but it actually displaces a total of 2.6L. The 20B in the FD is then a total of 4.0L.

I went and drove a RSX-S this afternoon. I'd recommend the Celica GTS over the RSX-S if you fit in it.

you must have test driven a lemon...gts is not the car the rsx type s, especially in comparison to the extra features in comes with. But l am biased because the CDN rsx type s comes with a few extras the american version doesn't. Heated seats, heated mirrors, gunmetal rims. plus a cheaper price tag then the celica. Both excellent cars, I just find more value, and definately more aftermarket in the rsx.

So if someone prefers the GTS over the RSX-S they drove a lemon? You know, it IS possible that people prefer things other than heated seats and mirrors in their cars. Go read his post on the Type-R forum before making blanket statements like this. He makes very good points about both the +ive and -ive aspects of each car.

I read his response before, and for starters who knows if the actual orginator of the post read his message regarding the topic.

And l know it IS possible that someone could prefer the GTS, but to me that is soley based on styling. The cars are neck in neck in every aspect of a car. But if you want solid value and a much larger aftermarket, you cant deny the RSX has the celica beat.

I make a note to read up on everything I can about ear cars, and am a member at nc.org, and all the new rsx forums. You should check them out.

Hope YOU learn something.

I cringed when I sat in the Celica GTS. The interior quality is NASTY. I didn't even drive. I knew I didn't want it.

If you don't need to haul stuff around or drive in snow I say wait for an S2000(with hardtop perhaps?).

The Honda fit and finish is unbeatable in its price range.
