What is your budget?

Welcome to Beyond.

Get that one.

It'd be tough to find a RSX type S with your budget so don't get your hopes up on that. You're probably better off with an RSX Premium instead.

A civic will probably be your best bet among the options you gave.

Ever thought about 5th gen Preludes? (1997-2001). They can be had for your price range, they have enough performance and looks to give you a good start.

Good luck with your car hunt.

Some cars I might look at would be a Prelude (as mentioned above), integra gsr, IS300, LS400, 2006 civic, accord, subaru legacy or impreza, and definitely check out an srt4.

i thought about subies, but arent they more expensive to maintain?

damn there was a 2002 black low km sir on sale on beyond, but was sold early this morning =[
