Love this car. Very reliable. I had ZERO problems with it for the 50k miles I drove it. It has a comfortable, cockpit like feel for the driver, the Type-S is a blast to drive. It's very peppy, though the engine is tuned so that the acceleration doesn't really kick in until after you hit almost 6k RPM's. This wasn't a problem, except for the fact that I wasn't aware of it for almost 3 months!

Great car - lousy subwoofer

I've only had the car for a week, but it is already tied for the most fun car I've ever driven. (Tied with a 90 CRX-si I used to own) Everything is very well put together and the 6 speed is the best shifter I've ever used. I drove a base model with the automatic as a loaner yesterday and am very glad I opted for the Type S. The automatic, combined with the lower horsepower, was noticably slower and the step-tronic shifter seemed silly. Gear shifting without a clutch just lacks the feel needed on a sports coupe. My only real beef with the Type S is the inexplicably weak subwoofer. From some searching on the internet, it seems that a lot of other owners agree.

Just take one for a test drive. It handles awesome and is a huge improvement over the Integra it replaced. Sporty fun!

My choice was between the Jetta 1.8T and the RSX Type-S. The Jetta offered more low-end torque, but the RSX blinded me with smooth handling and beautiful interior. Just like a Lamborgini, the tach and speedometer dials point down. At night, the mesmorizing red glow of the dials appears completely uniform across the dash. Not all looks, you feel every bit of the 200hp with the I-VTEC engine.
