Well my parents have been telling me they want me to get a newr car maybe since i thought of sellin it! But my brother also needs a car so i brought up the idea that i would sell my integra to my bro and put that money as a down payment for a newer car! I only have 3 options becuase im picky about what i drive and plus we have really good family friends who work for High River Honda/Toyota and T&T Honda!

My 3 choices are:

1. 2002-2003 Acura RSX Type S
2. 2000-2001 Honda Prelude Type SH
3. 2000-2001 Celica GT/GTS ($$ depending)

Im strongly leaning towrads the RSX becuase they a sooo damn nice and they are a few years old so a lil' more cost friendly! What are your opinions on either of these cars as i know lots of people have RSX's and Preludes but lets see some comments on the celica! i have driven both the Prelude and the Celica but never the RSX so im gonna go test drive that soon!

Thanx in advace, but i still have a while to decide on what to do, becuas ethis one my parents are helping me out since i no long work!! BUt i did get my teggy all my self!!:thumbsup:

Get an RSX Type S.
It's faster than both ;)
And I also think it drives better than a Lude

Out of the 3 choices, I have to go with the RSX Type-S.

I'm probably going to get scorned for this but think about where you are going to be in five years from now. Do you plan on using this car for anything but riping around town? Are you ever going to be driving clients/parents/family around?

One of the reason that I bought a Spec V is because it's a four door. It makes it a lot easily for people to in and out of the back if need being and I have alots of room if I need it. It's pretty fast, even faster with some mods. And yes I know it's not RSX type S fast but do you really NEED the extra juice?

However of the three that you listed above I would the RSX, it is very fun to drive especially in the corners...

Celica, lighter, handles better, sportier styling.

Too bad the gearing and the high-strung engine is a letdown. Make damn sure you don't get the 2002 Celica GT-S since it has the lowered rev limiter and makes it impossible to stay in lift if you go beyond one gear.

:werd: I personally like the celica better, and I dont know about the GT-S, but I found that when I test drove the GT is was pretty quick, and handled really well.

And I personally like the styling of the celica waaay better.

if your going for straight-libne speed you should avoid hondas all-together. theres many cars that will be faster than it, cost less to start, and cost kless to get faster.

how much is the RSX-S gonna cost?? MK4 supra prices are going down if your spending over 20K on it....

Gondi Stylez
08-29-2003, 01:27 PM
MK4 is sweet but not what i want! hahaha!!

hahahahahaha and matt when i go for the test drive im gonna come find u and race you, then will see!! hahhahaha, i HIGHLY doubt u beat the RSX-S when u lose to preludes!!

and anywayz teh RSX-S can be faster then the S2000 with I/H/E and Hondata!! hmmmmmm.... why go for major show looks when u can have 4 things and be faster then an S2k??? and anyways OEM kit is sexy but Greddy front lip is amazing!!

get the rsx type s and put a cai on and you will be one of the happiest guys here. The Rsx sounds so good with the intake and gives it crazy power for such a cheap bolt on. You cant go wrong with the Rsx man but the celica is nice too, (RSX is brand new though and celica is dated like the prelude) think of that for resale and stuff in the future.

if those 3 cars are your options, go with the Prelude, I get to drive those cars alot at work and the Prelude is the one I like the most, Driving-wise,but styling, um.. no. RSX typeS?well.. they have nice seats, but no 'yippie' and there are lots of chics who drive them, Celica? same as RSX
