Buying a car, need help deciding
Right now I'm looking at 2 cars and I need help deciding which is a better buy. Either a Lexus IS300 (5-Speed) or an Acura RSX Type-S (6-Speed). I like both cars but cant decide which one to go with.

Re: Buying a car, need help deciding
Thats a tough one, but if you're looking for speed, the RSX is faster, and probably more affordable too, so I'd go with that.

Re: Buying a car, need help deciding
WOW, i never thought of that... ive been stuck between the IS300 and the BMW 325, but i never thought of the Acura RSX...um... i think there both GREAT cars... and i have driven the IS300, and i absolutely love it, but i have read ALOT about the RSX type S, and now i REALLY want one... i think i would go with the IS300, based on reliability, and although the Rsx type S is faster, not by much, i think after ver few after market parts the Lexus could out preform the acura on every aspect. (if thats what your interested in)
*hope it helps*

Re: Buying a car, need help deciding
haven't driven an rsx, but the is300 is pretty sweet. plenty of power to have real fun, and you can't hang the tail on an rsx. not easily anyways. do you have friends? they may not like getting stuffed in the back of an rsx.

The Rsx starts at 20k. The lexus starts at 29k.
is300 RSX Horsepower: 215hp@5,800RPM 160hp@6,500RPM Engine liters: 3.0 2.0 I would choose the RSX becaust its cheaper and a spory loking coupe. Sedans aren't my type anyways.
