types or type r
my dad is going to co sign on a loan and he said i could get what i wanted but i still have to pay for it so im not going for the nsx yet but i think i want a integra type r or a rsx type s what do ya'll think i don't know much about the rsx so could ya'll give me the pro's and con's.
i'm also keeping my mind open to any other sugestions on what i should get but it has to be a 98-02 thats why he's letting me get a new car so its reliable well let me know what u think |
do a search, i know there has been many a debate as to which is better. IMO i have driven both, and i would say for pure fun factor, TYPE-S. The ITR is a rarer car, but the RSX has much more potential for over all power and it handles better. Not to mention better seats, better stereo, and 6 gears of fun.

thats what i was thinking and the type r isn't something i would want to drive every day

its a type r theres not that many of them around
also i did a search and i got nothing |
do whatever you want, test drive both and see what you can best live with. It's your decision, not ours.

to each his own...i personally would take the type-s because of some of the luxuries that come with it. whatever you choose they're both great cars.:thumbup:

A used Type R will cost more for insurance. I compared insurance rates, and a brand new 2003 RSX Type S is cheaper to insure than a 1997 Integra Type R. Even an S2000 is cheaper to insure.

if your lookin for a nice fast car i would go with the type R. my friend has one and he just put some small upgrades to it and it flys he beats my other friend who has a srt 4 and i have a turbo si and he just kills us every time. plus they dont make the type R any more so its value is gonna be much higer n the long run

The Type R is a slightly better car for racing whereas the RSX is slightly better for luxury and ammenities. Both have huge aftermarkets. However i'd take the RSX because the theft rates on the ITR are so high, one of the main reasons I didn't take the Type R. All 3 of the Type R's in my area were eventually stolen and that trend is pretty much reflected all over the continent.
|
I would go with an R. I've had both and I prefer the Type R. I sold my S2000 after I drove my wife's R. As far as insurance I guess it depends on where you live. My RSX was around 250, my S2k was 315, and now I pay 215 for two type R's. All of them fully insured.
|
Integra Type R is really rare and a great car, buit I personally Like the RSX-S, Only becuase the K20 Has the most potential for more HP's for the leas amount of mods. You can get hondata with Kpro, race header, intake, flywheel, exhaust. And you will be able to keep up with an SRT-4 with a couple of mods (ie:Intake, Stage 1 ECU). The K20 jsut has more pontential. But that is jsut me. I also like the look of it more.

ya itr is an endangered species. if u dont want ur car stolen get an itr. i give it 4 years before ppl start stealin rsxs
|
RSXs are a lot harder to steal and they're not as rare or coveted as the ITR so I doubt it.
