What are some RSX competitors?
I want to trade my 02 civic for a better sporty car. I'm thinking of an RSX but what else is on the market around the same price as a used non-type-s RSX? I don't like the celica so that's out. but beyond that what else? Don't want an older car then I have, maybe 2001 and up.

Rep Power: 0 is that it? man this is a small market. The RSX and the integra are my best bets. The cheapest WRX I see on automart is like 20k and plus I don't like the style. Neon = no. Miata is too small and not really in the same market.

Rep Power: 0 I think that a V6 Accord and Mazdaspeed Protege, as well as the WRXs recommended here don't really fall into the same class as a base model RSX, maybe a Type S, but not a base model.
I'm going to throw in my two cents for the new Mazda 3, made in Japan, 0.87g on the skidpad.

Rep Power: 328 Used Mustang GT or Cobra, or a SS Camaro. The Cobra or SS would rape any of the other cars you've listed in acceleration, and the camaro would rape in handling too if it had the SLP suspension package. You can find either for around 20k if you're looking at 99-00 models.

base rsx is nothing but overpriced civic.
the type s new is 24k. for that price, save a little more and get a S2k or MR2{dunno if they still make them}
edit-mr2 has mid engine config, 2215lbs stock, 6 speed sequential manual gearbox with steering wheel shifting,

Rep Power: 0 Either get a used type s or don't get an rsx at all, especially if you're thinking of modding. You can also save a few more and get a used s2000, they run at the same price or even a little cheaper than a brand new base rsx. I would personally save for the used s2000 for the pimp factor and the fun you will have in that car.

Rep Power: 0 common guys, keep it real. Used s2000? I'm in the market to spend about 17k CAD here which is what I can get for a used base rsx/premium depending on the deal.
I was looking at the scion, looks good. Can I even get that in canada?

Rep Power: 0 Alright, then get a used rsx-s becuase like I said and a few others, IF you're going to mod, you want the type s. Just incase you haven't, make sure you can afford the insurance on some of these cars.

Rep Power: 0 only car that comes close to the type-s for much cheap...
Ralliart
SpecV
no other car has similar HP or enough torque like these 2. Also in some cases you could own a type-s owner. Ive seen both these cars take type-s owner.
