Which one would you pick ?
Ok guys......something that I've been thinking about today....
If you had a choice.....what car would you pick and in what order would you put them
2000 Integra Type-R
2000 Civic Si
2000 Accord EX
1993 RX-7 Twin Turbo
I know that all of you will go with the RX-7, but let's say that for every year each car gets 12000 miles so the RX-7 will have around 100k compared to the others with around 24k
As much as I though about it I can't decide.......I mean.....the Type-R has good handling, is rare.............the Si is more common but is still much better and faster then all other civics out there....
the Accord looks kick-*** if modified and there is rarely Accords that are modified up the ***..........and at last the RX-7 Twin Turbo.......only one word can describe that car......FAST.........
what do you think ?

I dont care how many miles are on the cars. I would still go with the RX-7 
They are bad ***, however out of the rest I would pick the Teg Type-R becuase they are also great cars. I can't wait until the RSX Type-R comes over here. Like always we have to wait for all of the "Good" **** to come over here 
I am still waiting for the damn Skyline. It is coming but they made it but ugly

that`s what iwaz hopin
i test-drove a P5 back in Dec and liked it, but i thought instead of making payments/spendin $$ on a new car; i'll spend on my 91(or another like it)- eventually would like to rebuild it into a 2.0 11:1 sleeper...

ummmm I would pick the REX just cuz I saw one today and it looked sooooooo sweet..... the 3rd gen.... 2nd gens are hot too. Ummmm my second pic you didn't put up as a choice..... well sorta..... I would go to the featured store in Super Street. It's in Japan and I would just buy a spoon civic for $28000 or a spoon Del sol for $4000. Now that's only if I would be the broke student that I currently am
I really need to graduate...

Dont buy ****. Stick with the good stuff. You know the old saying "you get what you pay for."
STICK WITH THE REX, IF YOU DONT GOT THE MONEY SAVE IT UP. Dont buy POS then hate yourself for wasting your money on honda.

I think he is talking about the RX-7's engine. Correct me if I'm wrong but the apex seals on that engine are known to cause many problems. I think that is one of the improvements that Mazda made on the new RENESIS rotary. I've read that many people have wrecked their rx-7 engines because of those darn apex seals. Most super fast RX-7s have replaced the seals with ceramic ones to help fix this.
Am I close on this one?

FD3S RX-7's are awesome performance cars, but they are also possibly the least reliable Jap car sold in this country during the past 15 years. Owning one of them is like owning a Maserati or an Alfa Romeo- they constantly break, and you are always only a few steps ahead of the next problem.
Oh yeah, I would take the ITR. If I could have two cars from the list, I would get the RX-7 and the ITR to drive when the RX-7 is broken

Yeah for sure Mini Cooper-S is sweet.
Although I'm not crazy about the gauge layout. Sweet redesign on that car.
Or if you want to spend big cash, go for the Audi TT
WRX are nice ... WRX STi version would be nicer ... Impreza P1 edition would be even better !
