Back to the topic...if it were me I'd pick the TSX out the three cars originally mentioned. They are far less common (at least around here), they are very nice to look at, and they also have a better flavor of K engine than the Accord, with more potential. They also handle quite well too, from what I've read. The RSX is too small for my liking since I have family. There's my .02

Being able to afford gas doesn't necessarily mean that gas mileage isn't a concern or that I want to overlook gas mileage as a consideration. If I wanted a $30K+ car with "crappy" gas mileage, I'd just go buy an STi and be done with it, which I have considered. But I am somewhat practical and I do need both a RELIABLE and economical daily driver, in addtion to my secondary goal of finding something that is good for racing. Hence, that brings us back to the TSX, etc...
