Default *RSX-S or tC*

Just wanted to see who would pick what? Im more that possitive that most of the votes will go the tC way (odviously)!


IMO, i would go with the type-s becuase i really like the design exterior and interior. Engine wise its pretty good? I would NOT JDM the typs-s at all! Keep it clean and fresh.

I voted tC. Yes I am biased. No, I haven't driven an RSX.
I just love my tC.

Now if I had some track time in a Type-S, my answer may very well change. But as it is, I can't really see myself in one.

the rsx-s was my first choice when I was searching for a car but when I drove the tc and saw how much more I get bone stock, and all the while save money I went scion. besides I, from what I drove on it, cant tell a huge difference between the two.

if you can afford it, the rsx-s is a better car for the most part. i would easilly pick a tC over a standard rsx (which i did), but against the type-s, i'd have to pick the acura.

throwing a wrench into the equasion, the 06+ Si is also very good, and now comes in stylish and practical 4-door trim. i'm personally very tempted to trade my tC for a Si sedan.

I picked the tC because the tC has more room then the RSX. Now if you put the Integra in this i would have choosen a GSR integra over both the tC and the RSX-S. I just love the look of the Integra.

I've also lately have thought about trading in the tC for the new SI seden.

But honestly not having to buy premium fuel is great

RSX-S > tC

RSX < tC


if I had to get a N/A 4 banger it would be the RSXS, (yes even over a S2000)

yeah i've driven one for a 2 week period of time.

I don;t like much if anything about it. i kinda like it's fish face appearance. but room , comfort , driving position , interior , sucked.


it wasn;t fast enough , and i wasn't going out to drift in a car that wasnt mine but needless to say it's fairly easy to step the tail out. but stock nowhere near fun to try and control that.

yeah no duh different than our fwd "econo cars"

so was my supra , so was my old bmw , so is a vw bug.

cars can be totally different than each other but still be buttloads of fun for different reasons . some garner my love fast or slow , ugly or good looking.

i can even say i love a minute few fwd cars.

well, i'm 5'6", so comfort and driving position fit me nicely. and i personally love the looks inside and out, so thats just a difference of opinion. i totally concede storeage space and back seats, but thats pretty much it.

though, its not a car meant to be drifted in the first place. if anything, its designed perfectly for small course and auto-x racing ideally. its a car that rewards a skilled driver and is unforgiving to an unskilled one.

difference in opinions aside, it is far from a "crappy" car.

yeah no i pretty mcuh hated everything about it. i;ve always hated vtec.......

and putting that in a bigger heavier car makes me hate it more.

i'm not that big but 5'10 and i'm totally cramped. anything more than 15 minutes and it was torture. and no i;m not fat either. well a tiny bit . at about 180.
