So, for a shit load of reasons I don't really want to get into right now, I'm deciding between an 02-04 Acura Rsx Type S and a 2001-2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT. Long story short needed a year round car (no rwd, which I usually drive and am going to miss), decent on gas, newer ish and reliable (nothing more than 10 years old). Anyway.

Rsx:

Eclipse:

Basically looking for arguements for or against one or the other. Leaning towards the rsx. Less girly, 4cyl so better on gas (with same power)...Iif you have decent suggestions for a fwd or awd, 2000+, japanese 2dr, give er

btw, I'll probably only own this car for about 12 months. I'm just starting out at work now so I want to save up some cash and make sure I have some job security, then beat this through the winter and get something I actually like next spring (sti or Evo8 probably)

the only eclipse that someone should consider is one with a 4G63 in it. otherwise buy a gun and blow your head off.

I think you would be way happier with a 4-door if possible. If not, RSX for sure. Much nicer.

Once they started making that Eclipse, it disgraced the Eclipse name. Never buy one of those. Ever. Between those 2, RSX 110%.
