Out of the 3, Id go with an RSX-S.
But since I am a Dodgeboy, I'd probably get an SRT-4 and be done with it all instead of any of those

If you're going to be a soccer mom and get the automatic, you might as well get the Accord. Then you'll have room to haul a kid to practice.
I took a few test drive's of TC's last month and the inside is really cheap looking. The plastic on the dashboard is really poorly designed.
I bought my 2005 RSX-S last September, so my baby is almost a year old. What did you guys get? Type S? Mine is vivid blue pearl.
Humor me for a sec. The RSX-S traps at 95mph, what's it's 1/4 mile time? If 5mph is a huge difference, and given that it weighs ~100lbs less and has 50hp more, there should also be a huge difference compared to the RA's 15s 1/4 mile.
EDIT:
1/4 mile's kinda slow, but it's quicker off the line than I remember. I thought that it got to 60mph in 6.7s. That must've been one hell of a clutch dump.

0-60mph in 6.7s, 1/4 mile in 15.0s
I'm still trying to make sense of those numbers... It's quicker off the line, but how come it does the 1/4 mile in the same time but at a higher trap speed? Where does it lose speed/time?
Oh, in the "real" world, it's better to do the quarter mile in 15.0s @ 90mph than in 15.0s @ 95mph... If you get a speeding ticket, you get written down for 5mph less.

Yeah, it requires premium (11.0:1 compression), and the insurance is probably higher because it's known as a boy racer car and because Hondas/Acuras get stolen a lot.
At that price point, I would probably wait for the new VW GTI w/ DSG to arrive. It's faster than a manual, and as easy to drive as an automatic.

I think that I found out why the RSX-S is quicker off the line. Tires/rims have gone from 205/55R16 to 215/45R17.

Then you're missing the point.
When I got my car, I also shopped for the RSX-S. It's what I know.
And I'm saying that the RSX-S isn't much faster than my "laughable" RA. I've raced enough of them and have beat enough of them to know. I know that the RSX-S has a nicer interior (it oughta for the $6k more), but when it comes to engine/shifter, I prefer my RA. It also only requires regular instead of premium, it's not a thief magnet, it's cheaper to insure, and it comes with free service for 45k miles.
I've never said that the RA is better, nor have I said that he should get an RA. Just that the RSX-S is not godly fast as everyone is making it out to be.

With gas prices continuing to increase, it would be wise to buy the most fuel effecient car. I would go with the four cylinder, manual transmission accord.
:beer: !!
How many miles you got on it? I have nearly 22k already, but I have to drive to off-site locations for work quite a bit. However, I get 40.5 cents per mile reimbursement so it's not all that bad I guess.
dump all these cars and buy an e36 M3 20k can get you a used one 240hp baby! (dont tell me about insurance, blah blah blah) its a bmw!
