Thanks for the feedback, guess I should have bumped the thread earlier
Anyway i've been taking into account gas mileage and insurance with all the cars. According to fueleconomy.gov a Acura RSX (base) gets 27/33 a Type S gets 24/31 and the Max gets 20/26. So I get the best mileage with the one car that doesn't require premium or mid-grade gas. Insurance would be a little higher with the Acura but everything is getting weighted out. What I save on insurance for the Max, will be spent on gas for it and vice versa for the RSX.
I was originally going with and searching for a Maxima because I figured it would have been a better car to grow into, but I don't think thats happening for a while. I'm not saying the RSX is a good car to grow into but I was pretty surprised by the back seat and even more with the trunk space. I think a smaller car would fit my needs better then a bigger sedan. Sure its nice to have the room but i'm really thinking how often it will be used? When I just got my license my parents bought me a 94 Jimmy. Out of the 3.5 years I had I can honestly say I never really utlilized the backseat or even the cargo space.
Sean: I looked at TL's but aren't to fond of all the tranny problems they have. It seems Honda/Acura gets everything, but transmissions down.
