Is it an RSX Type-S or standard?

If it is a standard RSX, then the Civic Si and the RSX actually have the same amount of horsepower (160 hp). They are mechanically similar, but the RSX looks better.

100k miles is not too many; I have seen these cars reach 200-250k mi before needing major repairs. If you buy it, make sure to change the oil and filters regularly to avoid engine trouble. Since it's at 100k, it will also probably need a new timing belt.
 
Acura rsx 06 (or 03) OR Honda Civic 2000 si

Which will give the best performance ? which looks better?


Bonus Question : is 100k too many miles for a used rsx? someone is selling me one for $5,000 w/100k miles on it..good deal?
no it isn't the type-s..but i know the type-s has around 210hp

100k is nothing for a rsx or civic si properly maintaned they can both run up to 250-300k no problem...

too bad your not getting the rsx type S, id rather get the rsx since its newer... the rsx is an 06 so that means the person selling it drove it 50,000 miles a year thats a lot to put on in one year...
 
for $5,000 i would buy the RSX,since the car only have 100k miles;due to the timing chain on the RSX, the vehicle may last to about 300k miles.
the base model RSX will beat the civic si.the 2000 stock civic SI is not that fast;it runs 15.6sec at the CMI raceway.
