I bought it the month it came out and its been my pride and joy ever since. Performance is stunning at over 6k rpm. The shifter/transmission is the best I've ever driven, short/crisp/quick and well-tuned to the engine. Fuel economy is stunning when driving at 3k rpm and lower. The depth of the engine sound is nice when idle, and the scream above 6k rpm is musical.

Fun, Fast, and Earth Friendly

Fun, Fast way to get to work. Travel over 25 miles (one way) and average 27 to 30 MPG, and that's 65 to 80 mph. On trips average 33 to 35 MPG traveling 75 to 80 mph. Not bad when you consider the performance of 200 HP. 2.0 liter engine and it's still a LEV vehicle. Acura reliability. No service issues with 31,000 miles.

The RSX Type-S is an ideal car for entry level luxury, sporty performance, usefulness with the hatch, and high levels of reliability, all at a reasonable price.

Needs torque! Acura made the car height too high and this hurts its already unsporty appearance. Interior is great but the stereo was no good coming from a brand name Bose. Ride quality is ok and the engine makes sweet noises running through the gears but it does get annoying after awhile. A Celica GT-S can keep up with the Type-S and so can a ITR. Not good. So performance isn't even satisfying for 200hp. Its an overpriced Civic.
