The MR-S does have a somewhat decent aftermarket, I know tere are a few turbo MR-S's out there.

I think if I new your age or if you are in High School or college and what year you are in. Then that could make it easier for me to answer.

Also is there a price range in your choice or you just want a certain car. And do you want a car to take you from point A or point B, or do you want someting to drive like you stole it. Also I am assuming you are going to be modding it, since you asked about about aftermarket support.

Here is my take:

1. MR-S - Small, light, good handling, convertible; not as much aftermarket support, but try putting a JDM 3S-GTE in thier (245 Hp Turbo 2L), don't know if it has been done yet
2. RSX - Lots of aftermarket, or soon to be (its a honda/acura), more room than MR-S
3. WRX - Highest price, best performance, TURBO, AWD, Looks like a neon <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

4. Neon SRT-4 - Turbo, torque, fmic, ugly, dodge, 2.4L (KA <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hmmm.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hmmm:'> ), supposedly good suspension
5. Sentra Spec-V - Nissan, LSD, 6-Speed, torque, FF, prolly more but i need to get off the comp.</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
I would take the MR-S.... i mean if your worried about having high horsepower they make a turbo kits for the 1ZZ-GE motor... plus its MR layout is another plus!

BUt it all comes down to personal preference.... however for me its MR-S hands down.... the RSX imo is nothing but a fancy civic..

As for what someone said about putting a 3S-GTE in MR-S...
great motor it just has a problem with detonation in the USDM version and the JDM is no better because of the high lever of octane fuel it requires to run properly when tuned... iirc most of the top MR2's run the 5F-GE 2.2L motor found in the N/A Gen 2 MR2's with a custom turbo set-up... but then again thats the hardcore guys who run that most opt for the JDM 3S-GTE..... i am a big fan of all 3S-GTE facets myself.
