Alright... so right now I have a 2000 Civic Si and I am about to go off to college in Southern CAli. I am thinking about selling the Si and buying a RSX Type-S.
I will end up prob. paying like $5,000 more, but I will be getting a newer car with fewer miles (most likely about half as many as I have on my Si) and still in warranty.

Do you think this is good idea? Is the RSX less likely to be stolen than the Si? How about looks and reliability.... which one do you prefer?

Any thoughts would really help out,

Thanks in advance.

 

go for it, I think you'll be happy wit the S

 

btw, dont really know if RSX is harder to steal but I know it comes with the anti-theft immobilizer which should make it much harder. If you really that concerned go for security system. Looks depends on the person but I think my RSX-S looks very sexay and its still a honda so you dont have to worry about reliability

eh... I'd go with the rsx. I do like the civic but... it's fun to have something new.

 

Wait, let me get this striaght, you want to pay more money for a shittier car??? The suspension is horrible compared to the si. Spend your money on modifing the 00 and you'd be ahead of the morons who opt to be cool with a "new" car. RSX's are crappy excuses for an integra. I think it's funny how many ppl on this forum are obsessed with getting OBD1 ecm's for engine swaps then say stupid shit like "buy the 04 this or that, that's cool" High mount rack and pinion is junk as well as Mcpherson strut setup honda cheapened up and went with. My 90 accord handles better than a RSX.
