Rs-ls-gs-gs-r
Alright can u guys help me out on this one. Im looking to buy a teg and i wish to know more about the standard features on each one, HP/TQ ratings, and any luxury features such as a CD-PLayer, Leather Seats, Shiny RIms, and so on.
Also if it come stock with a cd-Player, is it better to get an aftermarket one anyways?

The base models all have the same horsepower and go from least to most luxurious in this order: RS, LS, GS.
Then you have the GS-R which (I think, I only own a GS-R, not a GS) is just a GS interior and amenities but with a more powerful B18C1 (170hp/128ftlb) engine and transmission instead of a B18B (140hp/127ftlb) engine. It also only comes in 5-speed. This car is standard with leather interior in 99+ models and was optioned with it prior to that.
The Type-R is less luxurious than the GS-R but has a more powerful B18C5 (195hp/130ftlb), has a closer ratio gearbox with LSD, and has quite a few changes to the suspension. It's very much a street legal race-car. Also the Type-R only comes in a coupe and does not have a sun roof like the other styles.
In my '98 GS-R the stereo system had a cd player but was pretty crappy. I removed all of it. I don't have leather and don't really want to since I live in socal and it would be sweaty and sticky. GS-R also has power everything and keyless entry.
Hope this helps
EDIT: Get a GS-R. Performance + comfort = fun to drive, even daily

BTW GS-Rs are the king choice for most people, but they've got a high risk of theft
