since some guy in #3 can not wait for the #4 version I thought I would post it, besides it gives me a chance to talk about my car more ;)

2002 Acura RSX Type S

in the #4 thread someone said try to find a better car for $25,000. Personally I think this car is a lot better then the WRX for the price. While the WRX has a bit more power, as someone stated "it looks like a turd on wheels" - For the same price (actually lower price) then the WRX you can own an RSX Type S - I drove both the RSX and the WRX and while the WRX did have more power the RSX Just handled WAY WAY better. The RSX is also a pleasure to be in, the inside of the car gives you the feeling of luxary while the outside of the car looks nice and appealing to the eye. And as with most acura's the car will gain quite a lot of support for after market parts, so it will not be long till the RSX has just as many after market parts as the WRX. Also the RSX will retain its resell value better then the WRX. Ok everyone post your opinions/flame away.. whatever you want to do.

That's not exactly the best RSX pic out there :(
No matter, I never really did like the front of it though - I always liked its ass. That and the 6-speed. Other than that, I could really care less for the car :) Mmm.... that 6-speed is nice - especially for such a price ;)

Nice ass

I wasn't able to test drive a RSX Type S... the acura dealership wouldn't let me. :|

But I sat in it. I disliked the feel of the interior, overdone to say the least. It felt rather drab. No matter how I positioned the seat, the cluster gauge felt like it was always up in my face. I wish I could have driven it...

The looks of the WRX have grown on me, but I still don't like it that much. I do think it is a superior car for the $$ tho.

I just can't shake the "glorified civic" image I have of the RSX.
