No need to get too bent out of shape. The original poster hasn't visited the site in nearly a year.

OK I have to first point out.. IT IS NONE OF ANY ONE ELSES BUSINESS WHO BUYS HIM A CAR OR IF HE BUYS IT HIMSELF! Someone's money is their money, not yours. plus he is asking about a comparison between the MCS and the Acurs RSX-S... Personally, I like both, but if i had to chose, I would choose the MCS.. Far more Unique, Handles better, and puts a smile on my face whenever I enter it. I also like the Acura RSX-S because you can actually track it with a good budget. Whichever you choose, I hope you like it..

I'm a jealous b@stard too. When I see these kinds of threads, I always want to say "Hold out for a Viper!"
But good luck in getting the car you want! (handed over to you simply for fulfilling your basic academic duties...oops, there goes the b@stard in me again!)

Well, those posts were from over a year ago, so I'm assuming he's driving around in something now! He posted 28 times, so I'm thinking he's not around anymore.

That being said, I was actually impressed with his responses. Seems like a very upstanding young guy.

Reluctantly, they gave me the keys for an un-chaperoned hour with the MCS and I beat on it as hard as I could.
Motor City Mini in michigan let me drive it with no MA... both times that I went.

This guy has his new car already but thought I would give my opinion. I would choose the RS-X because of it's looks and performance. The MCS looks good as well but between the two I like how the RS-X looks more. The MCS performs well and can be modded for even more performance of course. Hands down I like the MCS more for originality, handling and overall driving experience. Also the MCS can be had as an MCSC! Another way of putting it is if I had both cars I would enjoy driving both but I would be motoring a lot more in the MCS than the RS-X.
