carta79 Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 If I remember correctly I think this newbie first came to HF bashing imports. Now he's talking about purchasing an RSX Type S. Rather odd if you ask me. The RSX has a K20A2 engine 2.0 16V DOHC i-VTEC PGM-FI 200hp@7000rpm 142tq@6000rpm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

..SSR.. Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 If it's going to be a daily driver, buy an 04 Civic. You'll get better mileage and have the warranty longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuddySol Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 IMO, RSXs suck. I suppose they have their pluses, but I'll always see them as midpack compared to other sport compacts. I still have yet to see an impressive RSX (then again, I'm not really looking). I just think other cars in it's class come out with a better overall package. The RSX Type S didn't really live upto to the Type R in the Speedworld WTC. Yah, every once in a while they ranked first or came close, but nothing dominating or consistent, especially with one really good driver followed by some not so great ones. I suppose it doesn't help RTR's own owner is driving a Nissan SE-R. We'll see how that goes, especially now that RTR added the TSX to it's lineup. Honda has dropped the ball with the RSX and Si. :edit: blah...sorry i'm babbling...it was a drinking night, forgive me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 buddysol: what other cars are in its class that do better than it? i'm not trying to start an argument, i'm just trying to buy a new car. i totally agree with you that honda dropped the ball with this car.

optional187 Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 how man miles did it have on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddySol Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Hmmm, performance wise the RSX is up there, but you prolly could find better deals with the rest of the group. Like the Mazdaspeed Protege or Sentra SE-R Spec V...which by the way also compete in the same Speedworld WTC as the RSX. Protege has been known as a pretty good handler, while the Sentra is more overall package. Ummm, looking at other sport compacts, the Celica GT-S is also not a bad option.

..SSR.. Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 I'd take an RSX. Suspension is softer than an ITR, but the chassis is more than twice as stiff. A kid at my school has a Celica GTS and my friend beat him in his 84 VW Rabbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Did you ever get your credit fixed? I know this is an old thread but my Type-S ran 14.9 stock & toped out at 146mph (I only tested that once). How many other cars in it's class can do that? Hmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
