Another one leaving...
Well, I decided that when I graduate (May 25), I am going to pick up my RSX Type S. I have been debating it, and then my parents told me for Graduation that they will pay 150 a month for the car. Just thought I would let everyone know.

Rep Power: 0 Congrats on graduating dude! And have fun with your new rsx....that is a sweet car!! As far as Mister "you can get a wrx.." goes, go with what you like! I suspect you put a lot of thought into what car you wanted, and seeing as that everyone and their sister wants to buy that turbo 4-wheel drive (that happens to be ugly as hell) rally car, I'm sure you considered it too. If the rsx is the verdict, then congrats....you can't go wrong with it!

Rep Power: 0 << just get an integra Type R... >>
why buy a used integra type R when the rsx type S has first of all, 10 more hp, i-VTEC, and its new....besides the type R is crazy hard to find. if he likes the rsx type S thats cool...we should support him it is a bad *** car. and as for the WRX...yes it has more hp and torque and 4wd. but i believe that acura/honda engines to be better, and if he wants to throw a turbo on it later it will have more power than the wrx. let us know how you like the acura.

Rep Power: 0 the ITR has 195Hp and the the RSX-S has 200. That makes it a 5 Hp difference math wizzard. On top of that the ITR has better gearing, is lighter, has a MUCH stiffer chasis, has a LOT more aftermarket parts available, a better suspension, and more exclusivity. Not to mention the fact that an ITR will also run circles around an RSX-S as well as beating it from 0-60 and in the 1/4... all the while costing as much or less then the RSX-S. THATS why.
then again i say WRX still ownz all of the above for daily driving and tunability.

Rep Power: 0 Oh yea, i also for to rag on you for saying this: "why buy a used integra type R when the rsx type S has ... i-VTEC, and its new.... and as for the WRX...yes it has more hp and torque and 4wd. but i believe that acura/honda engines to be better, and if he wants to throw a turbo on it later it will have more power than the wrx."
A) thats a retarded statement
B) newer doesnt mean better
C) ... im going to get a seizure from contemplating on how anyone could have made that statement.
D) the WRX ALREADY has a turbo. while your spending 3K+ dollars strapping one on that RSX, the WRX owner is spending 800 bucks, boosting the turbo thats ALREADY THERE, and is making more power then a stock internaled RSX engine can produce under boost.

Rep Power: 0 Sometimes i wonder if he hates being smart.
He is right about the Type R... but I'm gonna tell you to not get it so I can get it because that's the car I want and you'd be making it harder for me to get. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG] (Don't do it man... )
But go with what you know will suit you. The Type S ain't a bad car and we all know that. If it's a "new" car you want, I'm behind you on your decision for the Type S.
And sh't, the 2001 Type R still costs more than the 2002 Type S anyways...
