i had an 02 RSX-S before i got the S. the RSX was great car - but was no substitute for an S2K (which is what i really wanted in '02 but couldn't afford it at the time).

luckily my g/f got an 05 RSX-S back in march - so when i get the jones for the RSX-S i just drive hers. they made a lot of improvements IMO with the 05's (bigger wheels, revised final drive, higher redline, etc)...and especially better seats.

with either car (S or RSX-S) you'll be pleased. good luck!

PS: here's a pic of my RSX-S for old times sake:

 

Currently Own

1985 Porsche 944 N/A Just got it needs some work but just somthing about it I like.

Sold Cars

2000 Dodge Intrepid (Load)

Volvo 850R in High School this car was the balls!!!!!

 

Get the RS-X, it's a great car.

Previous cars are in my sig though the list is not complete.

 

Two previous sports cars:

97 Prelude SH


03 WRX with STi bits



Now I have the 05 S2K as a fun/sports car, and my ski assault vehicle and all around daily driver is:

05 Outback XT


Oddly, the OB XT feels the fastest of all these cars (250HP/250FT-LB) though it's the slowest on paper.....

First Car: 93 Honda Del Sol Si
Second Car: 00 Honda S2000

Though I loved driving my Sol, I still think my S is 100 times more fun to drive. Don't sleep on RWD handling!!

However, since you had the DOHC, that could have been the deciding factor... I still do not think I would put the Sol above the S2k

 

1st: 1995 Ford Escort LX stick
2nd: 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse Gs-t stick (Big turbo, no traction)
3rd: 2001 IS300 auto (sucks to drive auto)
4th: 1997 Mistubishi Eclipse Gs-T convertible (was going to use for project race car, but bought a lemon)
5th: 2004 Acura RSX Type S
6th: 2003 Honda S2000 (Gotta love the s2k!)

 

my old wrx, with the best rims I ever owned.

 

3000GT VR-4.. miss the AWD launches.. much faster and top end was much better(DR Stage 3) vs. the S2k.. but the handling was nowhere comparable!

I sold it to move to CA.. and will own another one day.
