I am trying to figure out which car to get. I have looked at alot of reviews and all of the rsx-s were very positive and the spyder reviews were pretty mixed, but I would like some more opinions, so I decided to post here.

So here are my actual questions...

1) What kind of 97 eclipse spyder trims are there? I've read in some places that there is a GS and a GS-T, but in other places, they say there is also a GSX (NOTE: if there is a GSX, then the spyder in question is a GSX not a GST).

2) I don't have any kids or anything, and I want a car with some power and a nice interior. Which do you recommend, a 1997 eclipse spyder GTS (stock), or a 2002 acura rsx type s (with a cai), and please give a reason.

i'd go for the 97 Eclipse GS-T. I have NEVER seen a GSX convertible, unless some rich guys really does it. The Eclipse GS-T can b modified more easier than the Type-S. i've heard from a friend that, I/H/E on the Type-S would be fast, but on the DSM, it'd be faster, cuz u can put more psi. DSMs all the way.

Ive heard the term i/h/e used before.. what does that stand for?

I would assume intake/something/exhaust

i/h/e stands for Intake/Headers/Exhaust. Those three are mods pplz usually go for their car. Thats y turbo cars can raise HP so easly with those modifications. Especially when you can raise the psi, and with I/H/E, and a boost controller, you'll see lots of horsepower increase from the DSM.
