    Default time for a new car

    ok, so I have 95 integra ls
    tranny slips, oil pan busted, shocks screwed, cracked head, and a slight knock.

    Which one of these should I get and why?
    I'm stuck in the middle with the pros and cons.
    and does anyone know the 1/4 mile times stock?

    02 rsx:
    $9650
    27/33 mpg
    66k miles
    5 spd
    27/33 mpg




    or

    02 SVT focus:
    $7850
    21/27 mpg
    99k miles
    6 spd

    I like the styling of the RSX more, but not many people have SVT Focus'. But then again there is a reason.....FORD. So my vote is RSX. I'll give you four dollars for your 'teg.

    Um yeah...RSX please. FORD=Found On Road Dead is where we will see your car. The RSX has so many options out there and easy to find accessories plus you can't really go wrong with an Acura. Good; Decision made then. Aye ppl, she is getting the Ac. Good choice

    To me that the only thing you need to know...and boost sounds so sexy and i know you like sexy. So do what we tell you.

    But really unless you plan on doing what pops did best choice is the Acura.

    LOL. Maybe you should look under my username, I have a Chevy, Mopar, and a Honda. Chevy owns FORD any day of the week anyways. She never said what she was looking for in her car. But the Acura will run longer and looks better. So, .

    I'm pretty sure insurance and parts are more expensive for the SVT Focus as well, so there are some more cons for ya.

    Do you like want or do you want looks? Focus got speed.. Acura got the looks. The focus would kill most rsx's on the road. Not sure about it being a chick magnet though =P

    focus is faster, 6 speed, better looking, more unique, more useful (hatchback = space),

    rsx is more economical, uhh... thats about it.

    i would DEFINITELY go with the focus. vtec isnt that great.

    I guess I got the optional hatchback on my RSX...

    Anyways, I vote for saving a couple more grand and getting a type S. It won't take you that long to do. I personally don't see why anyone would by a base model, but thats me.

    But, if its strictly between the 2 I vote RSX of course.
