Perfect car for young single guy

I researched several vehicles before looking at the RSX but fell in love with it when I test drove it. Bought it a week later and haven't regretted my decision. I've now had my Acura for a month and put nearly 3,000 miles on the car already. Absolutely no problems other than an alignment issue that the dealership immediately took care of. Great power, superb handling, and fantastic styling are tradmarks of car. I have had several strangers come up and tell me they love my car. Not that I crave attention but being 25 and having girls come up and strike up conversation about my car is a plus. Get a spoiler...its worth the couple hundred dollars.

The benchmark for the class

Fantastic car, especially for the $$$ - lots of room, versatile and large trunk, unflappable chassis, interior finish second to none. Few complaints, had a fluke seat belt clip that was broken on delivery, stereo is clear and very functional, but low powered for my taste, a few mandatory features on a "luxury" car are missing, like retained accessory power (my 87 Legend, 94 Accord, 95 Camry, etc. all had this!!) puddle lamps, gas cap holder... all are completely forgivable in light of the dreamy power delivery and slick gearbox. No regrets thus far. All in all a fantastic package, no other car comes close - regardless of what the few naysayers (likely not owners!!) may report.

No compromises

I was determined to get a fun car and my RSX-S is indeed fun. Coming from an SUV, I am still driving my RSX like a 87 year old so about 50-100 of my 200 horses haven't gotten out of the stable yet. But is still can't stay below 80 miles an hour. When I was looking for a car, I still had a bit of former SUV enviromental destruction guilt, but I really wanted to surpass the 89 miles an hour I could achieve at maximium warp on my old Blazer. The RSX-S has 200 horsepower and is a Low Emission Vehicle. It is the best of both worlds and I can afford it. The interior is flawless. The stereo is amazing. The interior is what sold the car to me.

This car is great. Lots of power, tuned exhaust, 6 speeds with lots of road rush. Roll up the windows and it transforms itself into a luxury car.
