TT supra or RSX?

[waterwolves]

I knew that would get some of your guys attention. Look I am not going to lie and say I know a lot about cars I don't. I do know that I love Honda's and I like Toyota's just as much. I have seen some Supras for roughly 28G's and a new RSX Type-s goes for roughly 22G's plus mod's that will cost 5-10 grand. So which one would you choose? Obvisouly I am a grown man and I can make up my own mind and I think I already have but I just want to hear some of your guys take on it. Is the Supra reliable?

well if you say you're gonna use the 10 grand u save off the TT on mods for the rsx, then i say the rsx all the way, but if your just looking for a car obviously the supra

[crazy_canuck]

Depends on what you want from the car. If you need daily driveability, fuel economy, luxury, new car reliability then take the RSX. If you want performance, looks, attention, the supra. The Supra also has more potential. I'd love to have a Supra.....however I need more of a daily driver.

[waterwolves]

So the supra isn't as reliable? Even if you don't modify it? Interesting.

I would have to go with the TT Supra, hands down. I love my Type-S, but come on! The Supra's fast as hell, plenty reliable and a real head turner to boot. Really no comparison. Don't know if I'd feel comfortable driving it in a blizzard or anything...

[waterwolves]

Thats another thing. I live in Colorado. We get Blizzards every year almost. If you look at the price though they are comparable after you lower your RSX put rims on it and a few other mods. Both around 28 G's.

[RSX-S777]

I lived in Colorado a couple years back. The Supra's engine would be much more fun at altitude as the RSX's 4 cylinder would struggle a bit. In that snow however, it would be the RSX all the way. You might pull off the Supra if you lived in Boulder/Denver or East of the mountains, though. You say you think you've already made up your mind. What's your take?

[waterwolves]

I think I am going to go with the RSX. It is better in the snow. If I got the Supra which is a far superior car I would have to kept my truck and drive when it snowed. The Supra is tempting though. I started to look at the mods you can do to a supra and it got out of my price range real quick.

[crazy_canuck]

Yeah, if you look at the stuff you can do to the Supra, you're going to want all and you'll go bankrupt

What about the WRX, Waterwolves?

Waterwolves:

I live in Highlands Ranch and commute to Golden daily. I've never had a problem with my RSX, (except last March 36" of snow). We really don't get that much snow to worry about it. When it does snow, as you know, it doesn't stay around very long, a day or two at the most. For a bit more than 28K, go drive the 350Z. Great looks, plenty of power, and I'm sorry, much more fun than the RSX. Your looking at 287hp vs the 200hp from the RSX. To gain the HP that the Z has in the RSX, lots of money. Why don't I have a Z you ask? I have a wife, and she said "absolutely not" all you will do is rack up a bunch of speeding tickets! She's probably right.

[crazy_canuck]

Actually a few grand and you'll push more than 287, but the Z has more potential. Over here, i've had no problems with my RSX, except for once when I was driving up to the garage and got stuck on some ice. The ground clearance on my stock RSX was too low, so it took a while to get off the 50m strip of ice. But no problems otherwise.

STI or EVOVIII?

I looked at them but it is still not a honda. It is fast but I like the idea of having a lot of reliability.

[waterwolves]

I think I will wait a few months before I buy one because I have heard that they might be coming out with a new look and maybe a few more HP in the 2005 model. If they don't I might buy a used 2004 that has less then 10000 miles on it and used the 2-3 grand I save buying used to get it new supension and a few other mods. Nothing to crazy I don't want to screww my warranty up.
