Thinking about getting an RSX - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

maximaserg · 02-05-2008, 11:37 PM

Ok, so ive been part of the maxima community for about 3 years, and i think at the end of this upcoming summer its time to move on to something different.

In June maxima.org is having about 25 maximas participate in Hot Import Nights in NY, after that i will start getting set to sell my car.

I was looking at different cars. I fell in love with the TL, but found out that with a sweet lookin ride comes a problem, apparently the tranny goes every 30 000 miles. F THAT!

So i saw the RSX type S, I heard 4 cylinder Acuras are good.

So ware they actually reliable cars?

What do u guys think?>

Thanks.

sorry for wrong section.

Can this be re located to the right section.

Would be interested but planning on buying one at end of summer.

I hate the search.

Linkage Dave?

why is the reliability question always asked. a car will treat you the same way you treat it. if you are nice to it and give it checkups and scheduled maintenance then you will have a reliable car. if you neglect the car, it will leave you stranded, its as simple as that. An RSX is no different, buy one, keep it up to date and you'll be fine. and you could do your homework with a few searches as well..honda-tech.com is a good place to start.

maximaserg · 02-06-2008, 12:31 AM

Mucho Gracias Segnor :D

maximaserg · 02-06-2008, 01:06 AM

Thank,,, but no thanks, i dont want an RSX no more.

dammit.

^^sorry dude..better you hear it that way than when you are at the dealership

Miata FTW

turbo4g63 · 02-06-2008, 09:37 AM

you could check into used evo's...they sell for around 20k. You just have to be very careful who you buy it from. A lot of evo's tend to be abused

Scapegoat · 02-06-2008, 09:46 AM

I test drove an rsx-s... I wasn't impressed.

The interior is definitely nice though

agoodall · 02-06-2008, 10:20 AM

rsx is a little chick car IMO, i would keep looking

hahaha fwd ftl

lawdogg · 02-06-2008, 12:07 PM

What do you want out of it? Show car / drag car / track car / autocross car / dd? Because you have a lot of options here, and a car that's good one place might not be good in another.

And please don't say show car.

den9 · 02-06-2008, 05:06 PM
