I'm doing a bit of car shopping lately, just looking around really trying to figure out what direction to go. I figured I'd feed off the vast knowledge of the basement . I have an Accord now since I have 2 kids, but with the 3rd on it's way we got a Sienna and will be using that anytime we go anywhere with the fam. Therefore, all I need is a DD and not concerned about room. I'd be nice to have something a little more ballsy than the F23 too.

My three top choices were Prelude, RSX or CL. I'm leaning more toward the Prelude, one that's not all riced up. I like the CL's but it's hard to find one in manual.

Thoughts on this?

Thoughts/Suggestions? :dunno:

 

rsx

 

Just keep looking for the 6 spd CL-s's. They're out there, and they are pretty cheap.

 

a jackal

 

prelude ftl...

they are a lot of money still and you dont really get anything special...

RSX CLtypeS FTW

 

I may have decided on one:

Took a look at it on Friday. It's got a couple scuffs but otherwise is in great shape. It's a rebuilt title but drives straight and smooth and doesn't shake around like my old 93 Accord. The accord was a rebuilt title due to an accident. I think it jarred the frame during the accident and was never quite the same. The auto works great, very smooth, but I'm concerned about it anyways due to the defective 01-03 CL, TL tranny issues. I might end up getting the extended warranty even at the price tag of $1000 or so.

Any thoughts?

 

if your going to go auto... then go with the TL...the CL is ugly

 

I like em both. I'm keeping my options for TL's open. CL's seem to be a bit less expensive. And part of we would like a coupe after driving sedans for a decade.

 

Toyota is offering 0% financing right now if you're looking for a good daily driver.

 

CL looks ugly, FWIW, I loved my Prelude ('00, auto). Sporty, handles nice, and fun. Sure it isn't "fast" by some standards, but I loved driving it.
