listen... from those 3 cars you listed get the Type S trust me... My friend who i work with got it not long ago and already got 2K miles on it. He loves it... if you ask me the only thing i dont like about it is that is FWD... And i also got a friend who got the SI... its nice too but i would go RSX and the TC... pshh o_O

And yeah someone said M3... thats a even better thing to do... i know im gettin an 01 or 02 very soon. It may be a expansive car to fix and all... but it DOES NOT brake that easy... in my country " bulgaria " thats all they drive... a friends dad there has a job as a taxi driver and has an old 86 bmw has a 650,000 Kilometers on it, which would be about 400,000 Miles... and no im not jokin... totaly serious! ^_-
