"looks like a suzuki."
"i think they look good..its just the dumb shifter on dash that bothers me"
"As a hatchback I think it's way too big. I heard the EG and EK has better handling than this SIR."
"A nice EP (not the rims though)." In reference to 02SilverSihb's Ride.
"i like everythng about the car EXCEPT for the headlights... that's the worst part of the car.. they are so fugly.. "
"Hmmmm....more money than a base RSX with less features and less torque....tough choice...."
"the decision is not a hard one in my mind. The base RSX is a lot more car for the money"
"...and a cheaper interior, and a lot more road/wind noise...sorry, the RSX feels and looks like a much nicer vehicle"

some people just have no taste...:winkm:

a hatch is more sensible. passengers have lots of leg room in the back. the shifter is awesome. i think these guys have never been in an si they are just running their mouth. must all be in highschool still and mommy bought them their cars. anyone who says the word "fugly" is just another clubsi fanboi. i think our headlights are badass. less torque? like what 2 - 3 ft/lbs. we mod our cars anyway. i think the rsx is less car for the money we have way more trunk and leg room. plus we don't have that misshift problem that the rsx owners have to deal with. they're dumb.

HAHAHA

how can they say our headlights are ugly? our headlights is about the same size as the rsx.
i think our headlights are badass compare to rsx. our taillights looks better than the rsx.

rsx owners are trippin

I don't want any RSX owners to take this personally, but the MAIN reason why I bought the EP over the RSX-Type S even, is not price...


...that was not an issue...










...it was the fact that the RSXs are sorority rides :D :p I got sick of seeing all these hots chicks at work getting out of work and hopping into their 'standard issue blue' RSXs (base and S)..

Well I was trying to decide between an RSX and Civic Si just a couple of weeks ago. Here were my conclusions:

Si = nicer interior, more utilitarian, more unique, less money.
RSX-S = attractive to girls, faster/6-speed, Acura class/image.
Both = Honda reliability, aftermarket support, good financing.

You can come to your own conclusions, those were mine. I'm not going to be racing, I need to haul music equipment, and I woulda changed the acura badges to red H's anyway. I like my little space-egg. :smilem:

10-21-2003, 02:10 PM
Well ok, I just bought a 1993 civic si, and have been driving around in it for about a week. Then today, I jumped into my EP, and I was like "OMG I missed this car." I don't know why haters just test drive one and make the decision then. The RSX is cool and all, but are too common. Everyone that see's my car is like "woh, what's that? I never seen that before." and Everyone I have spoken to loves the shifter. I just don't know sometimes.

If you want leather, go for the RSX. Si has more torque down low. Which one would you rather auto-x? Way more usable space in the hatch. If the RSX-R comes, I'll get that too, but for now, Si all the way, I don't even have to think about it.

Yeah I like the fact that our cars are so much more unique. I see about 10 RSXs for every 1 SI on the road. I also like the look people give you when your mini-minivan kicks their car's ass.

This is exactly why i bought my EP over an RSX-S. RARITY. Go to Hot Import Nights..How many EP's do u see? MAYBE MAYBE...1-2. What about an RSX...i wont even go there. The street is even worse. The only good thing about a RSX is the amount of women i see driving them. Thats the first thing i check out!

Coming from an Integra Type R, I have one more thing to add. How many Type R owners bought the RSX vs. the Si. Enough said. Most of my Type R friends bought EP's. I will be buying an EP and I do have my choice between the two.

I have seen 12 RSX's in a 3 month period.

10-21-2003, 03:33 PM
Personally I see around 5 or more RSX's a day, EP's its around 1 every couple weeks.
Edit: Thats on a day when i drive 25min to school, 25 mins back, then about an hour of driving @ night. (York U, parking lots are full of them)

10-21-2003, 04:18 PM
Its sad to have the base RSX and SI even being compared. They are basically the same car, and comes down to personal preference of which 1 is better. If you compare the RSXs to the SI its no arugement the RSXs is better just cause its got the A2. Also when people say that the EP is rare or whatever isnt really true anymore. If you think about it the RSX was out like a whole year and a half before the SI came out, so of course theres gonna be more RSX on the street. Also now since Dealerships are basically giving the SI away with the prices i sure as bet that, youll see more and more EPs rolling around. Its already started, i would say that i see twice as many EPs now than i did like 8 months ago. Remember the EP is still a Honda econo car and is never gonna be "rare" just enjoy the car and who cares what anyone else thinks of your car.

My sister has a pearl white RSX-S her and her boyfriend always give me sh!# about how they have 200HP and 6speed. I don't give a rat's ass if they do, all I know is that my car handles better than hers with the suspension parts I've got(strut bars, tie bars, and 22mm sway bar), and it has more room and I still didn't pay what she payed.



P.S. I forgot to mention, the comment made about our interior....:confused:....Does anyone realize how many RSX owners want our front seats.........:p to all the haters

I don't see what you people are getting all worked up about. There are reasons they have the RSX and we have the Si. Because they have different tastes. Nothing more needs to be said. You can moan just as much as they about how much the RSX really sucks, it's the exact same thing :p

10-21-2003, 05:58 PM
clubrsx is just a damn cock contest. they bitch and moan about everyhting. have to argue about stupid shit... who cares about the si and rsx, why would ppl buy them bc they are a POS pinto? uhhh NO!!! this is why most ppl hate 15 yearolds bc everyone acts like them(16 as of today yay). it is like why not go outside and take a huge shit and see whose is bigger i mean there is no point.

sorry but this is just stupid shit i love my car, my pride and joy. dont even like them rsx(base) quasi-hatch ewwww.

our cars rock...i get way more compliments with my car then the rsx.

the comment about the base DC5 being cheaper than the EP and being more car for the money cracks me up. they obviously haven't done *any* research into EPs, otherwise they'd know about the big discounts being offered on EPs.

whatever, like i give a f*ck what Acura elitists think of the kind of car i drive. i like the uniqueness of the EP.

Well said. THere are SOOOO many little teeny-bopper chicks bumpin jay-z in their rsx that I lost alotta respect for that car.

The styling of the ep3 is a notch up compared to the older hatch's (stock atleast)IMO......

and the rsx has lost a lot of its uniqueness compared to the older model integras.. Hell they even lost the name Integra.

One of my buddies is a diehard integra tuner(his 95 integ is a 13 sec car) and he hates the new rsx styling(loves the a2 though)

very close.. but Si seems like it has more accessible power..cougar is an automatic so.. thats probably biggest difference.. i think the cougar is faster at freeway speeds tho... but the cougar is a good car man.. i was very very impressed.. i had it for 3 yrs never one problem and i was a new crazy ass driver when i bought it..
on a 1/4 mile it would be close..

Some of the clubrsx guys are good guys tho. I remember meetin up w/ some of the members n' they were madd cool. Anyways, how often do we start threads n' flame about the rsx whether base or the S? All us ep owners have a mutual respect for our EPs n' their dc5s. But we really don't have to sink down to their level n' jus start ranting about the rsx...:cool:

haha, but hmmm someone said something about the prestige of an Acura, I really do not think there is anything awe inspiring about acuras lineup latley, RSX is played, TSX is soft, and they are all hondas, I just don't understand, guess i can never be an acura guy

Ok....
I like the RSX also....But the comfort of the Si keeps me going, the seats are like tharapuetic (spell wrong) action...And the shifter is smooth! RSX and Ep are brothers (or sisters...).

about 1/3 of the eps I've seen are being driven by middle aged women.

the RSX and the EP are both cool, they have their reasons for liking the RSX better (they bought one, right?) and we have ours for liking the EP better, it's stupid to hate on each other.

So you trolled over to ClubRSX & found some Low IQ dorks that said hurtful things (right or wrong) about your Mini van, I mean Si & you want to prove you can be just as ignorant........Good Job, You've done it!

I will always be a Honda Fan First & I really like the Si & If it had had the same numbers as the Type S has, I would have considered it very closely But it doesn't. The Type S out every things Your Si, (except gas mileage) get over it.

Granted I do love your Swede seats & the shifter is very cool (even though the throw sucks). You love your car & that's all that matters. The one thing I can't stand is a Honda owner that does not love his/ her car!

If anything we should all be together on the fact we have the mighty "K" because the old "b" guys really really hate us all.

So just love your cars & down with the hate! As fare as the dorks who trash talked your cars, an old man once told me "No matter how far or how long you travel..........You can always find an arshole. Try not to be one of them."

it's just a little "sibling" rivalry..

when me and my friend (who has an rsx-s) hang out, we trash talk each others' cars.. but when our other friend (integra gsr) hangs with us, we gang up on him.

So.. no matter how much we fight (si vs rsx), we'll always stick together when there's a k-series vs b-series debate... no matter what

etc etc etc
Most people do not dislike the Si....
My GF has one has likes it. I like it as well...
The RSX is a better all around car though.
Better materials, built more solidly, better driver's seat (more adjustability), quieter.... etc etc...
RSX-S vs Si isn't even a comparison. Better everything... I even get better mileage than my GF in my RSX-S. She usually gets 29-30 and I usually get 30-31mpg.

Arguing about this shit is like listening to F-Body owners argue about which is better, the Firebird or the Camaro...:rolleyes:


The cars are similar... Basically they differ in only a few subtle differences.

This debate is kinda pointless anyways, most people will admit to liking both the Si and the RSX... Then it just comes down to if you are willing to pay extra for things like better quality interilor, better warranty, more solid build, leather, climate control, blah blah blah....
But like they say, you get what you pay for... with the Si you get even more than what you pay for =) That is the biggest thing that attracts buyers nowadays.

i feel that the position of our shifter gives us a more accurate shift than the ground shifter...and the seat does not get in the way for those hard race type throws

Haha, yup... me too... I actually pulled up to one at a gas station one night...

Me: "Nice car." (smile)
Her: "Yup, pretty similar arent they."
M: "Yeah, you dont see to many of them around..."
H: (gives me a crazy weird look and walks inside to the mini mart)

I hate non-enthusiasts... :(

Here's what I've noticed so far:

Most of my friends (avg. age = 16-21) don't like the styling of my
car. They say it looks like a minivan and for the most part are split on whether they like the shifter.

Most of the more mature crowd I've talked to have liked my car a lot and shown interest in it... even though one guy @ gas station the other day finally asked me if it was a hybrid :p

That's just the trend I've noticed...
But come on it's bad that DC5 vs EP3 is starting to remind me of Domestic vs Import. Get over it :confused:

They can call it whatever they want, but that's part of what made my skin crawl when I was shopping. The whole sexier-Integra/Civic thing. I just felt like Acura was trying a little too hard to convince me that I Gotta Have It.

This thread is probably already tapped out, but here goes my 2cents:
You guys should have read what the ClubRSX crowd was saying about the
WRX initially, as both were hitting the road around the same time.
"Oh, it's ugly...it's a Subaru...etc."
I think it's fairly clear that the majority of RSX owners are in it
not for function, but for form.
Essentially, the Si is a baby RSX (in terms of engine), but with the
right mods, I think can hang with those cars suspension/track wise.
So it's a fine car, it just doesn't have the luxury feel of the
RSX. There's no leather option, no Acura label, etc. And the RSX
crowd (the ones that diss the car) realize this, subliminally - so
they're out to defend their cars by belittling the few poor aspects
of the Si (the styling - see what they said about the WRX).

At any rate, there's plenty of RSX guys that are very cool and very
knowledgable. Don't forget that this car is really an Integra and
there's a large group that bought the car because of the 'Teg. There's
another large crowd that bought it because it's an Acura. Two very
different groups, methinks.

I bet there's an even bigger group that just bought it because they liked it.

I think it's safe to say both groups like it. Kind of an obvious
factor. But I was comparing the "anti-Si" and "pro-Si" camps. One
is not as concerned with function as with form. Simple enough?

I know this is an old thread but I just have to say the base RSX is girls car, plain and simple.

Base RSX = Girls car

RSX Type S = Guy's car

Sorry I 'm just mentioning this because we had a discussion in class about this. We actually found proof in our case that the Base RSX was marketed for women and the Type S for men. In light of this information, don't EVER let someone who owns a base RSX talk shit about your car b/c their driving a bitches car

:D ;)

this is the best comment out of the whole thread. I am not an RSX hater, in fact the RSX Type S was my original choice which starts around 22k. I couldn't afford it so I got the next best thing, my SI.

I agree with TEAM ERA 5, RSX's are girl cars. Some cars are just made to be that way. RSX's, Beetles, Cabrios, Jettas (the previous generation), some Eclipses, new MR2s or spyders or whatever the hell they call em, Sunfires, etc. I do see a lot of chicks driving civics, but out of the 25 or so Si's that I've seen - only one chick.

I like both the RSX and the Si I looked at one which the base model is more then the Si and I thought the Si rode and handeled better then the RSX. But you know what they say opinions are like assholes everyone has one.
