RSX...the eclipse handles like a pig. It does OK in a striaght line with the 6. Unless your talking about an older eclipse...they handle much better.

So true...rsx looks good and it's smaller size makes it fun to drive especially with all those horsies under that little hood.

Ok so ofcourse I am talking an RSX type S, the only problem I Have with the car is it is a little boring in terms of style. Ofcourse I will through some 19's an exhaust ICE and some other little mods on if I get one but I am not sure about it. Maybe I will just spend some more money and get a BMW or some ****....

Eclipse's are girl cars, hands down. I dont care what performance it has. Every eclipse I see around my town is driven by a girl, except for one spyder that this bi kid drives. Go with an RSX.

In my opinion the new Eclipse is ugly.

How about keep the Vic and 'In' with a K20A2?

definitely no to eclipse, but i'd also say no to rsx. dont care for either of the choices. just hang on to the civic for a year or so and see what up at that point

I have a friend that bought an 03 eclipse. He purchased an extended warranty from the dealer. After less than 10k miles his rotors warped. They would not cover them or even offer to help with any labor charges. They offered him nothing. He's pretty pissed about the ordeal. Frankly, that kind of crap does damage to thier reputation.

OK yea all your reasons were great except for that girl and bisexual remark, that was the stupidest thing I have ever heard. I was gonna get the S2000 but I live in NY and you cant drive that car for the winter my brother has it and it just sits in the garage half the year, same thing with the 350Z my sister has it and it sits in the garage half the year. I am considering an RX8 but I have to look into it further. I will take th RSX out for a test drive and see how it goes...oh but wait I am not a girl or a *** so can I still drive the car??? ****in moron....

No no, buy an Eclipse. I hear Cosmo voted it number one ride of the year.

By the way, I never said the RSX was a girl car, in fact its superior to the Eclipse in every way in my opinion.

Also, how do you go from supposedly buying an S2000 and RX8 to now looking at cars $10k less. If you're so concerned about the winter, there are plenty of other cars in the S2k price range. OR MAYBE.........
