Well first of all RSX Premium and Celica GT-S aren't really in the same class...RSX Premium and GT or Type-S and GT-S are more comparable.

 

rsx type s > prelude > celica gts

im basing this all on speed... in my opinon both prelude and celica would be better than rsx premium as long as u get a stick shift....

 

I'm getting a car in 2 months and ive narrowed down my choice to:

RSX Premium

Prelude

Celica GTS


Which one should i get? Please be objective... and give me a reason

THANKS !!!!

Since the premium is a base RSX, I'd get them in this order from 1st to last:

Prelude>GTS>RSX I take it that you only want a automatic car which is why you would not get a RSX Type-S instead of a premium RSX? The GTS is as expensive as a Type-S if not more so depending on configuration and a late model Lude sells for a little less than a Base RSX around here.

I would think that if the RSX runs neck and neck with the GTS (slight advantage to RSX) and the RSX is not too much faster than a Lude, then the Celica would be about even with the Lude for speed. :dontknow:

 

go to www.edmunds.com this is a site where you can compare new and used cars. They also contain the 0-60 times for most or all cars.

If not this, use www.kelleybluebook.com

 

out of all of them...da rsx is faster...da gts is slow ....da prelude has more torque but weighs like a tank...sooo da rsx is an all around better car...not to mention its sleek and sexy looks..hahahah

 

dude....the gts is in no way slower than the rsx, 1st of all, it puts down around 165 to the wheels stock and 2nd its lighter than the rsx. its a drivers race.

RSX premium is like a Base RSX in Canada. I think it's like this:

Base RSX - 15" steelies 160HP K20a3
Premium - 16" alloy rims, leather seats, 160HP K20a3
Type-S 16" alloy rims, leather seats, heated mirros/seats 200HP K20A2.

If the above is correct, then the Celica is hands down faster and it would not be a drivers race.

 

oops, sorry i thought we were talking about rsx-s vs gts, not premium vs gts.
if thats the case, then yeah, GTS is faster than premium rsx.

 

You need to clarigy what type of Prelude you are looking for. DO you want a 5th gen or a 4th gen? If you want a 5th gen do you want a Base model or the SH model. I used to own a Base Prelude before my Type-S. I have also driven alot of Base RSXs. IMO the base Prelude is much better than the base RSX. Only thing about the Prelude is that parts are harder to come by and there is not such a large community. If you want to know as much as you can about Preludes pay the $5 (highly recommended) and get onto http://www.preludeonline.com

i got the gt-s and i rape on a stock rsx type s. i think the gts has better handeling and looks better inside.

right, are you sure the type S was actually racing... or are you gonna make up a story to try to justify your bullshit?

 

GTS-22, Celica's don't romp on RSX's all day, Drivers race. FireDC5, who cares what he says about the RSX, you're comfortable with your car aren't you....You could always make fun of his feminine car, jkin. Pick up the Celica by the way, Way better then a Base RSX. I own a type S, but i've hard Celica's have better handling then our cars, even though they are really small.

 

I wanna clear something up.

It's NOT the base RSX i'm looking for, it's the premium, which is like the type s with the exception of the engine.

btw wuts the difference between prelude sh and base?

 

the type sh has atts which is an LSD

 

the type sh has atts which is an LSD

it's SIMILAR to an LSD, but not as beneficial.

 

why are u getting rsx premium when celica gts is one of ur choices? if u can drive stick w/ a celica just get the rsx type s, it has everything the rsx premium has and more...

 

dude i just bought a rsx type s n it's well worth the money u put out for it

 

maybe the type s is a bit out of the price range? im not sure how much does the gt-s cost compared to the type s

 

Logan - The RSX-S is 31,300 or something MSRP, the Celica GT-S is 33,680 for the manual; 34,505 for the auto, and 34,050 for the Manual Tsunami.

I'd go with the Prelude, hands down. If you had a type-s in the options, it'd be a much harder decision. For me it was a tough choice between a prelude or the RSX-S after my lude was totalled.

The prelude has the best looks and handling, IMO. Beautiful and refined car. The bad side is that it's heavy and doesn't respond to mods very well. But a JRSC would cure that problem.

I miss my 5th gen very much, and I often wish I'd gone with another Lude instead of the S.

I'm kinda biased toward the prelude, but I had mine for over three years and it was a great car. Hope this helps you in your decision.
