Re: Eclipse or RSX
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.

Re: Eclipse or RSX
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.

Re: Eclipse or RSX
No. The only downside to the RSX is its high price tag.

Re: Eclipse or RSX
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.

Re: Eclipse or RSX
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.
