Default Not too sure on this one

As the title states im trying to decide on whether or not to trade my '01 bmw 330 with 49k on it in for a 02 acura rsx type s with 60k i saw at a dealer out by me. Can someone please give me your opinion on whether or not its a smart idea, i mean i realize im on a acura site so the ansewers might be biased but i would still apprciate your thoughts on what i should do.

There's a few BMW owners lurking

I'd imagine the RSX will be a more reliable car:dunno:

well the RSX-S is a good starting point because of the engine. going from a 330i to the RSX-S will make you miss the torque for sure, but a little bit of modfication can fix that.

personally i wouldnt do it, unless you get less than admirable gas milage out of your car and its been giving you nothing but issues.

my suggestion for you is to test drive the RSX and see if you can live with what it has to offer you compared to your BMW.

Personally, i mean we are all honda-acura enthusiasts, so most might say to switch, but then again we all know that this would not be a very efficient decision, nor should it be to your liking, unless you really want to rid yourself of the BMW. Which i cannot see why you would, unless like nevets said, you are having some serious problems with the car. Although the DC5 is a very reliable and beautiful car, inside and out.
