03 TiburonV6 vs Rsx-S vs 2Gen Eclipse GSX

which car would be the better buy based on looks, interior, performance (both in a straight line and around a track) and mod-ability

Also stock performance? Which is better?

I would go with the RSX. It looks the best of the 3. It has the best reliability(its an acura)and not for sure but I think its the fastest. Maybe the GSX is faster but I like the RSX. All 3 are nice cars.

Re: 03 TiburonV6 vs Rsx-S vs 2Gen Eclipse GSX

I read that the RSX-S runs about 14.9 and the GSX runs 14.7's Your right they all are nice..... But the AWD would probably win the 1/4mile,handling, and the mod-ability in the gsx would be better. I think????????

the quickest time ive seen for the rsx was 14.8, the gsx was something like 14.9, id say its a drivers race. there are probably other sources with quicker times, but thats the quickest times ive seen from a reliable source. on a twisty track i think the rsx would win. if tuned, i think the gsx has better potential, both turning and quarter mile.

GSX definitely has the most potential out of the bunch

Re: 03 TiburonV6 vs Rsx-S vs 2Gen Eclipse GSX

the new tiburon is a nice car, but it doesn't have much of an aftermarket right now. the rsx is a nice car, but the gsx is just nicer. i like the styling of the gsx better and i would like to stay away from fwd.

RSX, has a decent aftermarket, is reliable, is a barrel of fun and looks cool.


The Tiburon doesn't have the aftermarket, but represents great value.

The Eclipse will do nothing but constantly rack up costs.

LOL the eclipse will only be costly if nessessary percaussions arnt taken. Again my 97 spyder Pefect condition, 128,000 miles, and nothing as severe as a tranny replacement, only other component that went out was a water pump(it gets 115 degrees + some days) so 7 years those replacements, what do you think about all the dsms you hear breaking down? ITS A OWNERSHIP ISSUE not a CAR ISSUE.!!!
