Acura RSX or Toyota Celica. only have 8 grand to spend

Question

which will have cheaper insurance, is faster, can be modified more

Answer 1

Insurance neither one they both rate high on front and rear crash cost, celica is actually more expensive and if yo do crash it in the front at over 5mph you are not going anywhere as the rad cracks open, in the other hand the Acura will suffer expensive repair cost if crashed in the rear the large bumper cover will crack at 5mph impact. Performance neither rate high due to their cost and the cost of making them even faster. Body Modifications both rate very good since they both share common lay out with other products from their manufacturer, and indirectly are blanketed by thousands and thousands of after market parts cheap(do keep in mind we are talking about other than engine components).

Answer 2

Toyota if reliability, dependability and peace of mind are an issue.  Otherwise, just go with whatever you think looks better.

Answer 3

i'd be surprised if you can find either with decent mileage for that price.  neither is particularly fast, the celica in particular is a fast looking economy car.  it has the same motor as the toyota corolla.

as a result though, it will probably have lower insurance, but also have less mods available for it..

the RSX handles better and is probably somewhat faster to boot.

Answer 4

TOYOTA

I've never seen an Acura dealer in my life....how many Toyota dealerships with sweet deals do you find my friend?

Answer 5

if i had to id go with the rsx their both about the same only the celica is a chick car

Answer 6

If you're looking for performance, either car wouldn't be a real good start. Alot could be had for 8 grand. Why not look into an 87-92 toyota supra turbo or an MR2 turbo? The RSX is already pretty well milked from the factory and you won't get much out of it without some kind of forced induction. And you would have to be fairly mechanically savvy and have plenty of extra money around to do it. I personally think the newer celicas are a girls car but to each his own.
