doOd. Do what joO want to do. Not what WE want you to. It'll make you a lot happier. All we could offer you is a domain to learn in. Hopefully learn what is generally considered NICE, and what is considered fugly and rice. Its you're choice upon what vehicle too. Those are two way different price brackets, drivetrains, etc. its all in preference. I would personally pick the RSX with no constricting circumstances. Good luck, let us know.

uh... I had the rsx and now have the 350Z. They are two different cars completely. It just depends if you like fwd or rwd. The 350 is fun as hell but I really liked my rsx. The rsx with a greddy turbo kit would probably beat the 350z but I don't know from experiance. As far as price goes, you are looking at about 10-13k difference between cars. If you do go with a rsx, don't put a body kit on it. PLEASE! you can get the jdm ITR lip kit and oem hid's, that would be sick. I guess it is up to you what you do but the body kits for these are pretty cheap unless you get a real cwest or something of that quality.

yee but iam afraid of the insurance of how much it would be for the Z.

First thing to do is call an insurance agent with the cars you are considering. They can then tell you what it will cost, based on:

1. Your age
2. Driving record
3. City in which you reside
4. Usage of the car (work, pleasure, etc.)

Pro's and Cons'
350Z IMO looks way better, its RWD (not sure if you like that option) It's a big chick magnet (not sure if you like that either hopefully you do), It's got a bigger price tag of course...
RSX Will most likely be faster, probably a better chance of getting stolen (thanks to the new motor mounts coming out to fit civics and stuff) umm can't really think of anything else, I personally would choose a 350, but thats my opinion research them both and make a decision based on what you like more.

THEOLDMAN

That's usually the case. The more expensive the car, and the higher the performance the more insurance will cost. Yes sports cars cost more for insurance than a coupe, especially a coupe that costs 1/3 less.

import-tooner: how do you afford cars like these? and did you buy the 350 new or used?
