Heres the reason i won't trade in my car. if i get rid of my car for say 12g's (US) right there i lose 4g's from what i spent. Then i have to pay back my car, which i owe 10g's so i get 2g's back for a downpayment. And 2g's down on a RSX ain't shit, the payments would be like 540 bucks a month. So i think its more worth while to keep your car and make it as fast as a RSX. (and yes that is possible)

But thats just my opinion

What's and RSX Premium? Is that the Type S? I would only trade for the highest model RSX.

If you want the base model RSX I would get an EP.

But I might be biased *looks at sig*

I test drove the RSX Premium before I got my Eclipse ... Very nice car...do you finance or lease your car? If you can swing it w/o loosing to much money, go for it, the best thing about the RSX IMO is the interior .....

I am considering doing the same thing with my Civic but taking off all the stuff I put on then trade it in for a Type S. I have enough cash to pay for it in full now but I can't make up my mind.

You're kidding right?!?! An rsx can't be worse then a civic in the snow. I would definitely get an rsx over a civic but that's just me. The rsx was my first choice but then I wouldn't be a member of 7thgencivic so I said....screw that, i'm getting a civic

Keep the vic and do a swap!

Worthwhile?

Buying another Honda, yes.

Buying an overpriced Honda, no.

haha!... i like that. never thought of the RSX as a high-priced Honda. though i always called the IS300 a high-priced Honda. regardless, i'd still buy an IS... hehe!

anyway... i was thinking about doin the same thing (trading my vic for an RSX). but thought the costs were too high. i'd rather make my vic as fast (or faster) than the RSX. it would catch a lot of peoples attention. but, of course, that's IMO.

Uhhhhhhhhh................ IS300 is a Lexus... aka Toyota.

azure · 03-19-2003

Yes, i know. But I still consider it a High-Priced Honda. High-Priced Toyota doesn't sound right to me.

I'm looking at the import perspective... in general.

Lianjie · 03-19-2003

go for it

Okay, lets do a comparison and use a few examples.

A base RSX runs for approximately $20,000. The Type S, $23.3k.

Why buy an RSX with 160HP for $20,000 when you can get a Mazda6i with more displacement, same HP #s and starts at $18.5k?

Why buy an RSX-S with 200HP for $23k when you can get the 6s with 220HP that's still about $2,000 less? $1,000 more than the RSX!

The Celica GT-S 6-speed is about $2k cheaper, comes with a lil' less crank HP but is lighter and ends up being just as fast as the Type S. Again, $1,000 more than a slow RSX.

Nowadays you can get an Eclipse GT for a better price than a Type S and the GT stock vs stock is faster. And to think, the GT used to be the "price gouger" (GTS, maybe) but the RSX-S wins.

GTI VR6 is cheapAr and more mod friendly than an Type S.

And for $1,000 more than a Type S, you can have the beauty of AWD and turbo in an Impreza WRX.

Why buy an RSX or RSX-S for those prices when you can get the fastest production FWD car ever that starts at 19k? Yes, that damn SRT-4.

Just to name a few.
