the rsx does not come with recaro seats they might look like it but there not. the RSX type R does might come with them but not the type S. and are u joking about the rsx Bose system it sucks ***** man. even the magazines said it. i heard it in person and a standard c230k system sounds alot better than the crappy bose they put in the rsx. and of course the car is faster its alot lighter 2. i am not even going to mention all the other things the c230k is better with.

BOTTOM LINE THE C230K IS A BETTER CAR THEN THE RSX-Type S !!!

Then crawl back under your bridge. Your opinion is not only short sited and unknowing, it's incorrect. Good Bye!

So wrong,
You need to drive the cars (a little more than a test drive) to understand,
each one is a completely different experience.
I traded a RSX-S for my c230, and I couldnt be happier. No compairson, the Benz is the superior car... not street rod, racecar, or dyno exerciser, but a real car that you absolutely love to drive every day in all sorts of conditions. I havent been this happy since I bought my first car, and no mechanical problems of any kind so far,knock on wood . The RSX was nice, to be sure, but it never did much for me , no wow factor of any kind, it was. well plain and boring (even with it being quicker than the Benz).

everyday when i got out of work, and got into my integra to drive home, it was nothing more than a means to get to my house. A nicely appointed civic, with a cd player and leather to trick me into thinking other wise.

The benz makes me look forward to the drive home, its fun. When the seat moves back when i open the door, its like the car is inviting me back in. The endless run of red lights is just another chance for me to look up through my sunroof and admire the sky, or watch people watch m car.

For the integra, and the RSX a red light is another race with a ford windstar off the line.... Better drop the clutch at 3500 if i dont want to get shipped.

simply put, i love my benz. its the first great purchase of my young life. Maybe people feel that way about their RSXs too.... but then again, thats maybe why everyone should STFU about this dumb topic

Oh dasMafia it is so nice to see that you are becoming more agreeable.
Resistance is futile - you will be assimilated.

That can be fixed. A C230 can be a competent street rod, racecar and dyno excerciser. Don't sell us short!

There are like 10 different replies that I want to make to certain people right now, but I figure it's not worth wasting my time. I probably shouldn't have posted the original post in the first place, but that's just how I feel. I read all your replies, and though I actually think more of the C230 than I previously had, I still think the RSX is a better car. I guess that's why we have so many different choices when it comes to cars. One man's garbage is another man's treasure. Please no more replies, just let this thread fade into nonexistence.

If you really feel that way, go to your initial post, hit edit, and delete it out.

It'll save some bandwith.

don't worry, I'm still good ol' das.... I'm buying my wife a 325 touring for her birthday...

Actually, Zerostatic, don't think that we don't value your opinion. We do, and that's why we have read and responded to your original post. That's what makes the world go around...people's opinions, likes and dislikes, etc. But remember, people often get very passionate about the cars they choose to own. It reflects on who a person is to the whole world. You need to keep in mind that you were allowed to express your opinion for others to read, and now you need to allow us to express ours to you.

I like this sort of debate. It opens doors for everyone to discuss different cars and why they are better/inferior, and stimulates conversation that goes beyond the norm that is generally posted here about defects, paint, detailing, body kits, etc. While that is informative, it gets boring sometimes without some genuine conversation about exactly WHY we all love our C230s.

When another car is mentioned, most times we all talk about it, compare it to our 230s, and all remember why we chose the Benz. Because we think it's the best car for the money. We realize you don't think it is and that's fine. You don't have to take your ball and go home mad, but at the end of the day you won't change our minds and we won't change yours. That's life and that's OK. If every person on the planet drove a C230, I wouldn't want one anyway. I like to be different and as soon as 230s pop up on every street corner like Dodge Neons or Ford Focuses, I'm trading mine!:p

For realz. Once in a while it's good to hear opposing views so we don't get too biased. It also makes the forum much more fun.

Not to add fuel to the fire here, but there have been some posts with opinions as to why the MB is a better car, and a better value than the RSX. There have even been some posts to counter the facts that you stated. So far you have not countered with anything other than to complain about people not agreeing with you. If you fail to make any intelligent responses, then your original post was exactly what you said it would not be.

larry bird or magic johnson...wait..what? not a sports forum...not the eighties? ...aww...

LOLOL I have 2 friends both have rsx's and it's ok if ur young but it's a ****ty motor, one of them has already blown the motor at like 5k miles. It's a piece of ****, alot of people have blownt heir rsx look on their forums. how cany u even compare an acura to a mercedes. not even in the same class.

wanna hear something else that's funny? was at the track watching this m3 (e36, mid 90's for those not familiar) slicing through the corners like mad...pretty cool. of course...all of the sudden, he mis-shifts..."pow!" aka madden style, something flys out of the back of his car...i think he blew his motor and that was one of the cylinders flying out back...



later...i was told the same guy tried to go back to the dealer for warranty...that was even funnier.

ummm, no. not a piston flying out back... unless it was torn off the rod and thrown through the oil pan... which is not very likely.

and when you track ANY engine... **** happens.

I don't see any reason to be picking on this guy for his opinions. For the most part, you get what you pay for. I do agree that the RSX Type S shifter is one of the nicest shifters in a lower priced car that I've ever used.

He's entitled to his opinion. Some people laugh at me when I tell them I payed $62k for the smallest MB sedan, a compact no less. Some people cannot justify these things. The C-coupe is a step down for Mercedes. The RSX is a step up for Acura. However, there is still a gap between them.

He is entitled to his opinion, I will give you that... but his post IS flame bait by all definitions AND after offering to debate all contenders on the various issues and merits of the cars, he has managed to address exactly ZERO of the issues presented.

add those two together, and he really is asking for it.

Is this thread going to die anytime soon? 60+ posts to counter a troll is a bit much.

In Europe it falls under the "large family sedan" class.

Only price-wise and only for a typical US buyer. In Europe and many other markets you can buy a CLK200K, an E230 etc. , not to mention the A-Class, all of which are priced comparably (or even less) to the C Coupe.

Otherwise - from the tech. content point of view - the Coupe is no different than C-Class sedans and a step ahead of the current CLK (just wait for the C32 Coupe to arrive - will silence many a snob).

taxi drivers in france (and probably germany) drive quite a lot of mbs...c-class and e-class, both stick and auto...french have that stupid "unwritten" rule of not allowing passengers in the shotgun...oh well.

Yeah, but why post it here? I could go to any public forum to read never ending flame-fests, where idiots like Zerostatic troll for agruments. This is an MB enthusiast forum. Why the hell do we need to "sign up" for this board if it isn't going to be a moderated safe-haven from the idiots of the world? Example- a movie "film" forum I subscribe to has a strict rule that the only way to watch a film is in its original aspect ratio (the shape of the frame), as the director intended, and any posts where newbies come in and try to argue for chopping up films to fit their square TV's screen are NOT allowed. If they continue, their subscription is suspended. It's like inviting a person from (insert political party here) to speak at a convention of the opposing political party. Not good. Should this not be a happy community of like minded people (in so far as our choice of vehicle) where we discuss the likes and dislikes of OUR MB's, vs. a place rife with arguments created by non-MB owners? I, for one, would like the moderators to take steps to stop people like Zerostatic from bringing his juvenile shenanigans to OUR little world

But in your "little world", you'd never see the truth, you would never learn and you would never grow.

If someone always praised you for doing something wrong, would you ever learn to do it right?

strictly a Troll! lol!
