Buying a car around 20k. (advice wanted)
Me and my dad are auto shoppin. We're looking for a good new car around 20k. The options.... 04 Magnesium Metallic EX w/ Leather. 04 Black RSX. 04 Eclipse RS. I personally like the RSX but not too much over the others. I'd like to hear your guy's advice and pros n cons. Abmerop18 is trying to convince me on the 7thgen, but i very much like the new 04's in gunmetal.

rsx. The only reason I would get the civic would be b/c its insurance is probably less.

the rsx is nice. i think as base rsx is nicer than a 04 Civic EX with leather. Abmerop18 does not agree.....

I like the scion tc .. i didn't know the dealers were putting leather in the 04 ex's .. anyway mag metal is a pimp color, its a tough choice .. i wouldn't go w/ the eclipse tho, too boring and i don't like the body.

The new eclipses are SLugish (Think excessive weight) even with a V6.

The RSX would probalby be the nicest, best build quality and would have a bit more Luxury feel to it.

The civic would be the one to get if you wanted to save $$ in the long run. runs on 87 Octane, has minimal matenince requirements, and will probably run forever.
