need some opinions!!
i've been lookin to buy an rsx lately but i haven't decided base or type-s (mpg vs. speed?) but thats besides the point. my question is simple, if you could change anything about your rsx (base or type-s), what would it be? basically, any complaints you have about ur car, let em out here

Personally I think you should go for a Type S. I get 28-30mpg and I drive like a total asshole (mostly highway, 85-90mph).
However, if I could change one thing about the RSX it would be the ridiculously soft clear coat. I have so many rock chips it's ridiculous. Also, if I can be greedy... I wish it could rev to past 9k from teh factory

well thanks guys. i've driven cars with front macpherson struts so i don't see myself complaining about that. but that sucks to hear about that soft clear coating. but my truck is the same way, so i guess i'm used to it
. Only thing i would love to see is an option for awd, but thats just my inner subaru fan talking (i'll shut him up later). oh and about the 9k: don't we all  |

I wish I could afford the S... I just got together enough money for the RSX Premium... All the bells and whistles but no S Type Engine... Whic realistically can be done up to match.
 ... New fuel rail, Intake manifold alone will drastically gain power... Anyyywayy... So yeah, I got the Premium. |

I would go for the S cuz you might regret it later.. If it's the $$'s, I would wait till you can afford.. Just my 2 cents.. If there was anything I could change, The Stock Sound system kinda sucks, but other than that, no complaints..
