I like the Rsx-s...just not the pricing. It's dangerously close to a WRX, which, dollar for dollar, is a much better buy.

the rason I went with the tc is, at the time, few people had them. they're becomming more common, but thats okay, that makes me enjoy my car more and more.

i'm a big fan of acura and use to own a 98 4dr GSR. I love that car to death. took me forever to pic a new car since the integra is gone. but my final 2 choices came down to the RSX and the tC. i was going to get the RSX but the back seats were just way to small for me. that's the main reason i got the tC.

but it's up to the person gettin the car to see what they really want in a car. Honestly if i had the money i would have gotten the new TL.

That is a tough one... I already have my tC. I love it but the fact is that its kind of in my view "the next civic" if you know what I mean. I mean not really but its getting there. I know I know, its nota civic nor comparable, but you guys should know what I mean...

Pro's of the RSX: *Bose Audio, its suppose to be good, Unless the RSX Carries the lower end bose speakers but I dunno if its like that. It carries the Acura Badge, haha j/k. Tpe S has more power, and of course u could probably bargain down the price.

Pro's of the tC: NICE CAR, cheap, I dunno what else to say I mean I love my car...

Pro's of the 06 CIvic SI: THe upgrades such as 200 HP, its looks as if its a coupe/hatchback looking car like the tC. I would wait, tho it mite be quite expensive since its a new car.

I dunno, tough desision man! good luck with that cuz for me, it would be a tC, or the SI. I mean tho I used all pro's, I don't like the RSX Interior, nor did I like the Integra Interior...so I dunno if 06 RSX will be any different. ALright, good luck!

this may be a dumb question, but if i get an automatic trans. should i even bother with a s/c? i haven't gotten my car yet, but i was planning on an automatic.

If you want performance, get the RSX-S.
If you want the most out of your money, get the tC.

yah, tC has a lot more rear passenger space. main reason why i got the tC. plus i fell in love with the RS 1.0 red. i was so close in getting a SRT-4 but then i didnt want a neon. cool people have tC's .

the future of the rsx is unknown. 06 could be its last year due to the Si, but they might come up with a TSX coupe. the Si is said by car&driver to have the TSX's engine, 2.4L 200hp w/ 6spds, LSD. it'll be priced around 22k, around the same price as RSX base. the concept is said to be 90% accurate of the production model. minus the brembros, CF hood, and some other stuff.
