The time has finally come to sell my 2003 CLS 6 speed it has been a great car but I'm saying goodbye to my CLS next Friday and by the way I will be posting my comptech header that I will remove from my CLS this weekend but anyways I'm planning on buying either a Civic Si Coupe a Mazda 3 Mazdaspeed or a used 06 RSX Type S so I wanted to know what would you buy if you were me I'm kind of leaning towards the Mazda 3 Mazdaspeed casue it's by far the fastest of the 3 but I want to know what do you guys think? please

I wouldnt get rid of your CLS for any of those choices, just my thought. Your not really upgrading with those. If I had to choose, the RSX S, my bro had one, fun cars, but ride quality kinda sucks, they are noisy on the road.

Keeping my CLS is not an option my car is already sold what I really wanted was an M3 but I'm buying a house so that is out of the question so it has to be one of those 3 for now. I really like the CLS but it is time to let it go but Thanks for your input

The only one out of those 3 that I've actually driven is the RSX-S. I'd say, go out and drive all three and see what you think of them. If it was me, I wouldn't buy anything new so I'd be leaning towards the RSX right there. Keep in mind that cars depreciate significantly as soon as you drive them off the lot.

Wow, a 108-word question...impressive.

the Mazda 3's are pretty nice. I'd rock that over the other 2.

since all of those choices are in the same class...Most of us are going to be a little bias to the RSX or the civic only because it is still in the honda family, however here are my thoughts:

Civic SI: depending on if you want a 2 or 4 door you have the option and the k20 motor responds to mods and drives nice

RSX-S: Same as the civic but with a rougher ride. The seats in those things are nice but not nice enough for a long road trip.

Mazdaspeed 3: Looks sharp and stock turbo is always nice, however I would never buy a car in the first year of production

Yea Mazda 3 speed's are nice...and fast. But they are still a ford product. Might as well go out and by a Mustang. I agree totally with the the other people who said keep the CLS. Its a fast, luxery...and most importantly reliable...and if you can't keep it I would still stick with acura/honda. I have a couple friends with mazda's (mazda 3 and mazda 6 and they have had alot of problems with them. Why screw up a good thing? just my
Good luck

I think you need to post this over on cartalk...

If it's not about a CL, it doesn't belong here... Last I checked, a civic, rsx and mazda 3 aren't CLs
