Lexus is 300 (older model) vs Acura RSX type S vs Scion TC vs Honda Civic Si vs 02-05 WRX?
I've posted many buying and selling questions on here about cars.
I would to spend my love savings on a nice car like an 09+ wrx, Mitsubishi ralliart, or even a late 200's BMW 335i twin turbo
I don't think I can do that though… So I have decided on a couple cars that seem reliable while still being sporty.
I like the scion tc (06-09) but it seems like a chick car. I definitely do not want to modify a chick car and out way too much money into a chick car… Correct me if it is not said chick car.
I really like the Acura RSX type S but most cars have high miles and I don't know how reliable they are (but then again it is a Honda and it has a vtec… So how bad could it be)
Then there's the fun to drive but incredibly ugly, soccer mom, old guy, fat guy, young girl and all of the above Honda civic si.
And the wrx with the blob eyes is also nice but reliability and resale value seem to fall short.
Any tips or experience with these cars would be helpful.
If I can't decide on one of these cars then I've resorted to a truck haha
It'll take the RXS-S
I would not by the TC. I'm a scion owner (xb) and like them fine, but the TC isn't a great option in this category. Of the ones listed, I would say the RSX would be best. I own a STI (2008) and the turbo makes it a bit more for long-term maintenance. This does not bother me, and I wouldnt trade it for anything… But for you (you seem price-conscious) I would say that the naturally aspirated RSX is better.
You must put premium in a turbo car. Stay away from high-mileage european luxury cars, the maintenance is very costly. Brake pads on a Civic are like $18 dollars. Brake pads on a Porsche are $450. That is for parts only…
The RSX has the pep, the low maintenance, and the longevity. If you can go into the low-mileage (premium) used car price range, I think the 2009 and up WRX would be a great buy as well. But that will cost you $15k or more.
- Which car faster? Honda civic si vs Lexus is300 vs lexus is250 vs toyota camry? Mainly speaking for something that has a little *** when you drive it down the highway and sounds like your pushing 500hp haha… Mainly just for looks but which car is faster or even sounds faster?
- Volkswagen GTI vs Supercharged Scion TC vs Acura RSX type S vs Honda Civic Si? As far as being a good car for a college student to commute back and forth to school? Good looking, somewhat quick(er) and reliable!
- Trading in my 02 Acura RSX to a 95 Honda Civic? I kinda rush in to buy a new car. Bought the 2002 acura rsx around $5000 plus tax so it's around $8000. I kinda regret buying it because of the high insurance. I still have to pay back the loan. I Want to trade it in for a 1995 honda civic because it's cheaper. So my question is will the dealership let me trade it in?
- Should i buy a 2013 honda civic si (sedan), or a 2006 acura rsx type s? I love both cars? I'm on the buying one of these 2 but i don't know which one i should buy. i feel like ill be paying around the same with car payments/insurance combined. si= higher car payments, lower insurance Rsx= lower car payments, higher insurance
