go to the reply to post next directly under the last post. and you can you the browse button to put it on. i would get the rx8 like the rotary engine but then the overall better car would be the rsx for performance. just love the way the look..havent been able to test drive either so that would be the real deciding factor...and screw all the guys who think ALL girls dont know much about picking a car or anything about cars! and she better be hot consider you dont think i look that good, dont worry dont hold it against ya

The RSX S is only available in a 6 speed. That's too bad because I was going to recommend it. The automatic 8 is sooo much turdier than the GT. The automatic has 197 hp. The car is a Dog. My car is probably faster than the automatic. The 8 gets bad as mileage. Bad gas mileage combined with lackluster acceleration isn't a good duo.
So basically we have two very cool cars that are only available with 6 speeds. I recommend a VW New Beetle or maybe a used TT 180.

RX-8 all the way.......supposedly it's just an amazing handling car and makes pretty good power. Plus they look very very nice.....even better in person than they are in pics. It's also RWD. The RSX-s is a pretty cool car too but it's FWD, has less HP, and doesn't handle nearly as good as the RX-8.

if i had to pick between those 2 i would pick the rx-8 but i think you are selling yourself short by only picking one of those 2 cars. for the money you can have so many nicer and more fun cars.

Gas issue is another problem. She drives so much. She is going to hold of for a couple more months until she decides what she really wants.

I own a Type S and my neighbor has an RX8. Both pull about the same, which is to say they are both slugs until you get over 6k rpm. Neither one has any torque. But the RX8 does have one substantial advantage. It drive the rear wheels. IF money isn't the first factor, get the RX8. Although personally, I wouldn't buy either.

well i would say rx8 the ccar has potential and alot of pimp factor plus im a fan of the car. But if she wants to be conservative and have a little quick pony rsx type s is the way to go sheel save some money and have a nicely perfomring little car. Plus acura is giving it a tuners package fully covered by warranty, in that i believe you get a suspension upgrade some strut bars and sway bars not to familiar with exact packege offering. and some aero pieces as well.
