I loved my '02 RSX base model -- great looks, fun to drive, 7000 miles with $0 in repairs, awesome website [clubrsx.com]. But I let it go after just one year after I drove a few 986 Boxsters. The Boxster is superior in only one way, but it's a big one: fun.
Unfortunately it's been very hard to find a repair shop that doesn't want to charge extra for it being a Porsche.

With kids in school, control costs by doing your own repairs with help from the many Boxster websites; having the RSX on hand will allow you to take your time doing them. :dance:
