Answer 1

ur the guy tha asked bout which car is better in the long run , tsx dont go i mean its nice but its slow ive driven about 5 of them all stick, rsx type S now thas coo its light and it has a k20 which u can mod a lot, the accord coupe is more my taste, a lil more room plus more torque and horsies under the hood!

Answer 2

Well, in terms of performance... RSX, TSX, Accord
In terms of ride comfort.... Accord, TSX, RSX

Really depends what you want, i own a RSX and was thinking about getting a TSX.. but its really just a RSX with 4 doors... So i couldnt justify the extra costs for the same feel

So then ask yourself... do you want 4 doors or 2... Personally, i would go with the TSX because it doesnt have 2nd gear grind issues like the RSX-S has (all years/models) - TSX has nice things like xeon lights, etc..

I liked the Accord Coupe myself, and if i didnt want 4 doors, it would have been a serious option... But it doesnt handle as nice as your other two options... although it WILL be cheaper to maintain/repair

RSX has the smallest rear seats of all your options... the rear seats doesnt fit anyone comfortably... remember this (this is the reason im getting rid of it now)

But all your options are pretty good... you wont regret any of them

Honda S2K - fastest (0-60 in 5.5 seconds or less), but only 2 seats, and kinda small. Good looking car though, but might not be very practical w/ only 2 seats. RSX-S - about the same speed as Si, maybe a little slower since it doesn't have a LSD like the Si. I like the looks of it more than the Si, and Acura sounds better than Honda Si Coupe/Sedan - probably no difference in performance between the two in a straight line. A little faster than the Type S, but you see Civics everywhere. If you're not looking practical, go S2K, otherwise, get the Type S. It's just as fast as the Si, better looking, and the hatchback gives you storage space. Plus, it has aftermarket support if you want it. The Evo IX MR is a monster, and has been my dream car, but the stock turbo will kill insurance and will be expensive to maintain. Plus, Mitsubishi isn't a great car company in terms of reliability. What about a 350Z or G35? They're as fast as the S2K (maybe a little slower), but are bigger and I like them more (G35 has back seat, and cheap insurance)

Answer 4

If i was you...i'd drive RSX Type S...
TSX is Euro Accord.
RSX Type S is a real fun. All you need to do is
spend about a grand for that car to lower it and
get a better sports tire. Then you are set.
RSX Type S is a high rev engine....w/ V-Tec...
The car's redline is at 7800RPM...
and i think it shoots 200 hp at 7000 rpm...
When you drive a RSX Type S...make sure that you
hit the red line which is 7800 RPM.
The V-TEC will kick in at 6000 or 5800RPM.
And it's a ton of fun once you get the hang of it...
How do i know? Cuz i'm a RSX Type S driver = )
I own 2002 RSX Type S w/ 98k miles on it.
And I still hit 145MPH w/ it = )

- Changed Air Intake
- Changed Exaust pipe
- Dropped it by 2 inches
- Has a yokohama sport tire = )
- Changed to a perfomance spark plug

Cost me including tires...about $1500 = )

Answer 5

i have an rsx type-s and i love it! ive also driven the new accord coupe that my friend has. theyre both great cars. The accord has more features such as heated seats and and oil meter, etc. The rsx is faster. The tsx is also a great car. very fast and luxorious. Id go with either the tsx or rsx type s

Answer 6

I'd probably take the Acura RSX Type-S because it has the least miles and is probably the most fun out of all of those.

Answer 7

well it definently depends on what you want it for......if its for speed and power go with the rsx type s(if space isnt an issue) or accord (if you want more room) now if power isnt what you want completely then go with the tsx cause its more luxury and still pretty fast.. now from a cali girl that loves fast cars id go for the rsx -s

Answer 8

I OWNED A RSX TYPE-S I FOUND THE RIDE TO BE A LITTLE HARSH STOCK. DO NOT JUST LOWER THEM WITHOUT DOING WHOLE SUSPENSION SHOCKS AND SWAY BARS. IT IS A FUN CAR BUT I PREFERRED THE INTEGRA BEFORE OVERALL. IF YOU LOWER AND NEW WHEELS AND TIRES THE HANDLING GETS A LITTLE DICEY--NEED TO REPLACE EVERYTHING. THE ACCORD AND THE TSX WOULD BE EASIER ON A DAILY BASIS TO LIVE WITH.

Answer 9

I have an RSX-S too...51,000. (first one sold in nw. FL hee hee...) I put Bridgestone Pole Pos. 3's on...sticky and corner very well...(blew 3 V8 trucks off today , sunday 18th...the men were NOT happy...hahahahahahaha...) Blew off a BMW last wkend...he wasn't happy either..Oh well..whats a girl to do, but race when she can...

Answer 10

id tell you the RSX-S or TSX.. all depends if you want the room..or the sporty appeal...there both excellent cars
