not many could afford an rsx, and if they sold it probably wouldnt step down into a 240sx.

I like the little things. Problem is they're TOO small for an only car. Maybe as a second or third car. But if I could afford 3 cars, I wouldn't be in the market for a Honda...

yup i meant rsx. Compared to maybe 8k tops for a mint kouki s14, they are damn expensive, insurance too. I used to work at an acura dealership, and the reason they quit making them is because no one was buying them. Only kids wanted them and kids dont have 20k+ to spend on a 2door 4cyl coupe.

haha so true....

unless it's a S14 kouki SE with lovely leather.

I've got half of a base RSX.

also with the RSX...the Civic is becoming slightly more upscale and with the new Si, they're just stepping on their own toes...hell, put leather in it and you've got an Acura.

I had a 05 type s, sold it and bought an 05 evo, and I'm selling the evo to probably get a kouki 240. The step down is purely for financial reasons, but I'm excited about getting into an s14.

A good deal of my friends have s14 240s, I've driven their cars, they're driven my rsx (not the evo, I haven't let anyone drive that). The 240 is alot more "fun" to drive than an rsx, but its an older car and lacks that k series power. Honestly the best part of the rsx is the k20, I'd still have mine if it wasn't wrong wheel drive.

Note to Axel: Not EVERYONE here drives a 240... A G, Q, M, Z, Maxi, Alti, etc. driver could have 'upgraded' to a new (or in some cases, used) car from a RSX.

I owned an 03 RSX Type S back in 04. I actually loved the car because it accomodated me with a lot of things I've never had in a car before, like working A/C and radio, but thats besides the point I suppose.

Now that I've experienced an SR, I would say the K20A2 in that car pulled nearly the same, its hard to remember. The suspension could have been a little tighter and the brakes could have been a little better as well. Otherwise, it was a great car.

R.I.P. DC5,

I love the K series...even if mine is the worst of the litter.

it's such a smooth accelerating engine....I need a JRSC on mine...I miss a supercharged car.
