    drove an rsx type-S today...

    man, that thing is pretty fast... im surprised how fast it is... was a lil bit nervous coz i havent driven a stick for a long time... so after a couple of blocks, i decided to gun it... ****, my heart started beating pretty fast... lol... it sounds really good too... my friend said its stock so im really impressed... i give it a 10 out of 10.... lol... i like it... i wanna drive a celica GTS so i can compare it... anyone driven both cars? which is faster?

    ive been thinking about the RSX-S for a long long long time now, it looks nice, but i have yet to drive it, i might lease one, but idk, maybe buy one in a year or someting, i like the A-Spec edition... but those are expensive

    Type-S is a bit faster... and I agree, they are fast for a 4 cyl., test driving it was a mistake though... I want one now :(

    If Toyota hadn't axed the Celica, it would have RSX-S beating power by now for sure.

    try driving the tsx, it has that same feel as the rsx because it's a huge (2.4L) FWD 4 cylinder, man that thing can move quickly

    Ppl said RSX is faster but Celica GTS has better handling.
    I never drive neither of them so I don't know. :p

    I think If the RSX was RWD, it would be really be one of the best cars out right now. That's why I lust so much for a 240sx.

    naw.... rsx wheelbase is too short and too tall to be a good car rwd. it would spin out way too easy. if you've ever seen that rwd converted integra, that thing spins out all the time.
