why did you start another thread about this? Of course it is ugly. But once you drop it and throw some rims on there, they look pretty hot.

RSXtypeIvtec is on a distinguished road
i also agree that they dont look so hot when there stock, but once you lower it, and put some wheels on them, they look nice.
I personally like many of there body kits, so far

Lol. I felt vice versa. I got all hyped up about it when they started advertising in advance. When I saw it firsthand I almost puked. The 20 or so horsepower it has over the EX Coupe is not worth its looks. But the RSX on the other hand...

I agree that its to high in the air and looks like a minivan but this can fade out with springs and a bodykit. I believe that this is going to be my best project ever.
but again if everybody had the same taste then there would only be 1 kind of car on the road.

$19,480!?!?! That high price. Is it a 02 or 03 your looking at? I got a 02 silver about 5 weeks ago and I paid $15,700 for mine. I didn't like the looks of them when they first came out, but now I love it. Thats why I bought one. Work on them with the price. And try to get the blue one!! That color is sweet. I would have got that color, but I didn'r have that color choice at the time.

I would get it, but yeah, work with them on the price. Personally, I don't think they're that bad looking. Once you lower it, put some rims on it, and possibly a body kit...they look sweet. So I'd get it if I was you.

I say get it. I personally like the looks of it, especially after some exterior mods. Also, the Revhard tubo kit just came out for it. $3500 for 245 whp.

However, I agree with the others, get the price down from $19k. Local dealers are selling 03s here for around $16 in some cases. Good luck. I may trade my 02 EX in for one too if this 1.9% APR lasts another month.

Oh, go for the white one.

I think it looks ok. It's just tiny and kinda puny looking imo - I feel all hatches look that way though.

The interior is nice as hay. That's where you'll be spending your time anyway.

Anyhow, a lot of people don't like the looks but it was really the performance factor that killed it. The low-revving engine was a big nono.

I was just sharing MY opinion. YOUR opinion is the one that matters. I'd get it but you are getting raped at $19 grand. They can barely sell them and you are going to pay sticker?????? It's definately not worth 19 grand. My local dealer advertises them at 16,900.

19480 you're getting ripped. Get them to drop the price another 3 grand.

BTW I was offered 16000 flat + TTL for a 2003 SI, my choice of color, and 14 tradein for my EX (i keep all mods except OEM kit). Use that as a sort of a reference, if it helps any.

Put it this way......you guys are talking about the looks.

Think about this fact

It is basically the same weight as the Type S and it has 40 less horse.

It's a 2750lb........HATCHBACK!!!!!!!!!!!
