awesome car for awesome price
The rsx type-s is an awesome car! I just got one and it is just as good, if not better, than what everyone says. The car is an absolute thrill to drive, and everyone just looks at the car. It has a demanding presence, and you feel really confident driving it. It's comfortable and fast. It's also a lot roomier than the celica. It's a better car than the celica in every way.
Absolutely LOVE It!
I never knew I could love a car so much! I bought my RSX new in Aug. 2001 with 50 miles on it. I now have 112,000 miles on it and am nearly in tears of the thought that I have to give it up for a more 'family friendly' car (this car wasn't really made to haul car seats around in). I've had absolutely no problems with this car. I use regular octane in it and take it in for regular service to an Acura dealer. It handles like a sports car and hugs the curves. The hatchback provides so much room for hauling stuff in! Gas mileage is fantastic at 31/36 MPG. Even though my car is 7 years old, it does not feel old when I get into it. I will be SO sad when I have to eventually say goodbye to it.

Best Car I've Ever Had
I love this car. I had a Honda Civic before this car and there is a huge difference between the two. The engine is very smooth and powerful with no hesitation to get up and go. The 6 speed shifter is great and very easy to use. The suspension is very good and quiet over rough road. I test drove a new 2002 Civic Si & would choose the RSX in a heart beat over the Si.
Base is a good compromise
Base RSX is quick and nimble & has only options you need. A no-leather Type-S would be perfect. The sound of the stereo is OK, but... You can't switch display between a clock and CD track/radio program - so you never know what's playing. The CD compartment is to small and you can only put the CD sideways. Therefore you can't see CD names. Id not store CD in a door or glove department - they resonate. Space above cup holder could've been utilized for this. They could also develop an accessory CD holder for glove department and/or doors. Weird location of the sunroof switch.
My first Acura(Honda)
Just got my RSX and love it. Handles great, looks good, mileage is good also. I'm still on their FREE tank with 350 miles(26 mpg+/-) in town. Once it hits about 3000rpm you can feel wants to go! And with a red-line of 6800 this car is going to be fun!
