Torn between the RC-200t vs RC-350.
#16
that is literally not true at all , from 0-60 they're both about 6.5 seconds. the only civic that will be better will be the type r , and may actually beat the rc 350 in a race, honestly if the type r were to have been sold in the us when i was in the market for a new car i would of for sure test drove it , maybe bought it

Pole Position
Why is a civic even in this debate??? Lexus claims a 0-60 for the 350 in 5.6s. Your references are going to give you different numbers because of different factors, like altitude. To go back to the main topic of this thread: Go with the 200t if you don't care too much about performance and if you want better mpg. I've driven the new CTS in the 2.0l turbo engine trim and it has plenty of horsepower for the streets. I haven't driven the 2.0l turbo RC, but i'm pretty sure you will be fine with normal driving. Test drive both to find out which one you prefer.

Rc 200t vs 300/350
My question is do you guys the think the 200t has a more up-gradable platform...like a subaru or something? Like it may be modded (turbo and all) to become really fast?
I know there really isn't going to be anything like that for the 350 due to its high compression ratio...but was curious about this 200t.

Life's too short; get the 350.
