Eclipse or RSX

hey everyone. i posted this because i am having a problem deciding between cars. I am looking at the RSX type S and also the Eclipse GTS (2003). I am just wondering which car do u think would be the better car?

thanx to who ever respondes to this.

I'd say RSX, though the eclipse is probably more powerful. Both look really good. Both would be fun to drive, but Acura more so since it has a 6 speed.

RSX because Its much more reliable, has a pretty good aftermarket, and looks good.

yeah thts wht i was thinkn but i found a 2003 GTS w/ only 65000 miles on it for only 6500. do u think i should go for tht?

also if i do get the GTS what do u think should be the first thing i should do to it?

I would not buy any Eclipse unless there was a turbo under the hood. And at 65k for $6500 it has a salvage title or some serious problem.

yeah i just called the guy n i asked if it had ever bin in a crash and he was like "um idk but ppl who look at it says sumthens wrong with it" so yeah. im just goina wait for an RSX.

Do u think there is n e way in hell tht i could find a RSX-S with okay milage under 10k?

No. The only downside to the RSX is its high price tag.

do u know of n e other cars then tht i could get for under 10k tht has plenty of power under the hood? Old or new, i dont rly care i just want a car tht isnt tht expensive but is still fast. or one tht has both those and gets sum wht good gas. but mainly sumthen cheap with power.

Maybe an acura integra, nissan 300zx, or a mustang. You have plenty of options here, those are just a couple of choices. What style are you looking for?

well im mainly lookn for imports but i need a car (sedan or coupe) with a back seat (iv got 3 sibs. so thts my parents call). n the only reason why im lookn more tword import is because i like the import tuner look and also iv heard they get better gas then most domestics

Well generally I think that is totally a nonsense statement about imports and better mileage. I bet a Saturn will get better mileage than a Civic anyday. Anyway, I think a Maxima may be right for you. The V6 puts out between 200-225 horses, depending on model and year.

I have an 03 type-s and its great. From what I've heard Mitsubishi is not a very reliable make. Honda's are known for reliability. I havent seen the inside of an Eclipse, but I know my RSX's rear seats aren't the most comfortable thing ever and if you have siblings you'll need to be carting around, maybe a 4-door would be a better car.

k but wht do u think would be the cheapest price i could find a type S for with around 70,000 miles

Probably around 14k or so.

Mine was !5,200 with 49000 miles, and if we had held out longer on the price, the dealer would have probably gone down to 14,800. Look very hard, and you could maybe find one as low as 13,500. Also remember you can lowball people, so when searching, search a little higher than what you have.
