OK..here is my question. Im thinkin about purchasing 1 of these cars. I do consider gas, the resale value, the drive, a bit extra things, and insurace. Which car would you pick to drive.
I NEED HONEST ANSWERS PLEASE!!

The Acura RSX is about to be discontinued because the new Civic is as good or better and cheaper. You should compare the Civic and the Tc. The Tc is probably less expensive but has less content. They are both good cars.

Acura is $4000 more expensive than scion MSRP (possible to get better price)
Honda si is also $4000 more expensive MSRP (possible to get better price)
Honda has best horsepower 197 others approx same
Acura best gas mileage 25/34 others about same
Acura has better warranty 50k/70k others 36k/60k
safety and other features about the same
resale value on all excellent if difference in sales price taken in to acct contrary to what previous answerer wrote (see Edmunds.com)
Accura has lowest depreciation
so if you have the money go for the Accura if not the Scion Tc

the Scion..resale will SUCK dramatically..

the Honda i would suggest to wait a year or two until the work out the bugs in the new civics.

the RSX would be the best bet..they arent making them anymore..they get great gas mileage..and are quick little cars..if i didnt need my 4dr integra for my family... id buy an rsx


i own a Integra (which the rsx replaced) and my resale value is still VERY high for its age. i have a 98 4dr..resale value is close to 12K.
