If you had to choose between a 2000 ITR or a 2002 RSX type S, which would you choose and why? Neglect money issues

Integra Type R because... I reallly... really.... don't like RSXs. They look like airbourn toy cars. Maybe it's cuz my friend's rsx looks like that.

TypeR...I think it is a better looking car, but more importantly that it weighed less.

if i was 20 again. Definitely the type R. Though being older now, I would love to have the amenities of an rsx.

One friend of mine had a yellow Type-R and my other friend had an RSX-S later on. Between the two cars, I was NOT impressed with either, but I would take the Type-R over the RSX-S any day.

RSX-S for the amenities and the K20.

Itr

Type R off course

Forgot to say why... I prefer a more raw driving experience, if I liked more luxury and comfort the RSX would be the choice.

Type r.

1)Lighter
2)double wishbone suspension
3)peakier engine(better for racing imo)


Forgot to mention that the type r will have better resale value due to the low volume.

type r. i've played initial D...

type r, because they are more rare and in my opinon look better then the type-s. I was planning to buy a used Type-R but couldn't justify spending a little over $20,000 for a used one with 50,000 miles on it.

Seems like most people agree with me. My choice was type R, without hesitation. But my freind and all her freinds were saying RSX. I thought I was in some bizarro world.

A type R up here in Canada that's in good shape, normal mileage, would run about 18K CDN. RSX, about the same.

I say neither one.

Type R. No contest. Had one, loved it, still miss it.

Gotta consider risk of theft in your area (I don't know where you're from) if you're getting an R. If you're in Cali, Fla, or the northwest, and you don't have a garage, you could be in for a real bummer.

...but if you can deal with that, and you want FWD all-season practicality, a hatch with fold-down rear seats, 33 mpg highway, one of the highest HP/L NA engines ever made, and one of the only FWD cars that you can rotate with the throttle...

...then go for it.

As a daily driver, the Type S, as a fun car, the Type R. :) Both great cars.

type R, its a fun car, like an EVO with less power

Hahaha....


Type R, fastest JDM FF

type R because its something special. all reasons have already been mentioned.

not an 02 but the new looking one is pretty decent .. and why woud i want an old, 90s looking car

The RSX is an inferior chassis, suspension, and overall platform when compared to the Integra. Give equivilant power outputs and current tires, an ITR will smack an RSX around every time. If you ever needed further proof...ask the racing teams why they race the TSX instead of the RSX or Civic platforms.

i would say type R

Rsx... type r will be fun for 3 days.. then it'll go "missing"

What racing teams, the ones that compete in the Speed World Challenge?

ITR, hands down. It will have to go through the JDM headlight conversion though.

type r to match my type r air freshner and my type r glow led pedals..

As a former ITR owner, I would say it all depends on the theft rate in your area. I had a 1997 ITR that I loved and tracked for five years. The car is awesome--reliable, fast, tons of tuning potential, and an engineer geek's dream. (I have another one now that is a pure race car.) However, I pretty much never drove it around as my normal car because in Southern California, ITRs are targetted for theft. I've had people try to follow me home, which is not a good feeling to say the least.

So if you have a garage and you feel confident you won't have a theft problem in your city, get one. Otherwise, the paranoia can really ruin the ownership experience.

Duh, type R, basically the best handling FWD car EVER.

ITR = when Acura was truly the offspring of Honda Racing.
RSX = when Acura sold out and became a luxury division.

So the CL, RL, SLX, and TL were race bred cars and SUV with luxury interiors and amenities?

Makes want to buy one and hit the track. :)

Thanks for the comments guys, I am slowly pushing my freind to the Type R side! She went and checked one out on Monday, a private sale, and took it for a spin. She hasn't shut up about the sound since.

The only thing she is hung up on now, as mentioned by gansan, is the theft rate. She lives in a small apartment just outside of Toronto and it offers only outdoor parking.
