Unhappy New car, which to pick?

Hey guys, I'm currently on my second car, a 95 Honda Civic, my first one got trashed by an old guy running a red light, but newayz, I've been considering buying a new car since I can afford payments and insurance, all my other expenses (aka food, clothing, and housing, are covered by Military). So, which of the four do ya think I should get? I'm not looking for just performance either, I'm looking for total package, this will be my daily driver. I'm thinking either an 03' Mitsubishi Eclipse, 03' Toyota Celica, 03' Hyundai Tiburon, or an 03" Acura RSX.

Of those choices, I'd say the RSX Type S. But I wouldn't choose any of those personally. For the same or similar money you could get a new WRX, GTI VR6, or for less money, the Dodge SRT-4(It has DSM based motor) or Mazdaspeed Protege

Hmmmm, of those choices, YOU MUST GO WITH THE ACURA. The others are just weak or mod challenged. I guess my second choice would be the Toyota.

I for one wouldn't buy any of those. If you are talking brand new cars, then look at the Mazdaspeed Protege, SRT-4, GTI 1.8T, or even a Cooper S.

do not get a v8, especially if its your daily driver, you want pretty good gas milage im assuming.. go with the acura, hondata and some other companys are making strong headway with the k series motors... but i woudlnt stop by just asking our opinion... go read some consumer reports magazines and see what all the cars have to offer... i can tell you what, the new popular mechanics tests all of the cars your eyeballing and the acura did the best. good luck in your choice
