Not really a prelude fan.. though they are sweet cars. and the RSX type S would be the only way id go, but im not really if id want one. The IS300 is just a car ive always wanted. Im not really trying to make it killer fast. but i want something i can work on and have fun with. the WRX is a great car. but im still not sure if there for me. im gonna see if i can find one to test drive. i wanna see if they are for me! I dunno. i feel like im about to pull my hair out trying to figure out what i want and stuff. Ive found a few is300's that are manual trans though. oh and ive taken a look. is the wrx sti 6speed or 5? and how reliable are they truly? anywho thanks for all the tips guys. ill make my choice soon..
