Ya gotta go with the RSX-Type S, I like the Tiburon, but come on they're in the FIA WRC and they can't even AWD and Turbo their car.
there is a $6000 diff between the RSX and the Tiburon, so as long as the Tiburon comes close (also with better rear seats) to the RSX then I think I may go with the Tiburon, but you never know...

another question is what's the price range that I can affort, I see people at my income level buying up bmw and TSX without a lot of thought, and I just think paying more than $500 a month for a car is out of control

some personal notes:

the RSX

Pro
-great on gas (supposely)
-styling catches my eye
-a very sporty feel for the car, great response with the manual trans
-hatch back, very important to me
-good looking white gauge

Con
-standard equipment are garbage, no trip computer (which I have now), no Traction control (which I have now), no fog lamps (what the fuck?)
spoiler expensive
- rear seats extreme cramped
-no arm rest (can you believe this shit?)
-most expensive in teh bunch, insurance too

The Tiburon

Pro
-cool looking styling,
-damn cheap for a sports car
-pretty good quality in recent years except body work
-standard equipment loaded, trip computer, heated seats, leather, roof, and a whole bunch of toys

con
-heavy car and heavy on gas (2.7 V6)
-180 hp on a 2.7, not very efficient
-rear seats also a problem
