Roomy thrill with cash to spare

After trying on 40+ cars over the last 9 monthes, this was one of 2 cars that made the grade. (The other was the Acura MDX) Its a comfortable ride for those of us who can't fit in most other cars. I'm 6'4" and moderately knock-kneed, which gives me leg room issues. The RSX fits like a glove, like only Honda seems to understand. The car drives like a car should, with a clean feel of the road, and a hi-revving powerplant that is truely another Honda marvel. There is more comfort and room than most sedans, and still the thrill of a sport coupe.

Fantastic Car

The seats are probably the most comfortable and most supportive I've ever experienced. The steering and shifting is top notch. The ergonomics are superb. The engine is a gem. The old Honda's lacked low end, but the i-VTEC motor really improves all around driveability. The car screams when pushed. The handling is very good. Though I feel the tires give. If this car had better rubber on the rims the driving experience would improve drastically. All in all a great car!

This is a great little sport coupe. It is well made,peppy,economical to drive and most of all fun. It is not race car but and there are other cars that are equally good cars but I love Acura service and have always had the best and will only change if the service declines.

The car is flat out fun to drive. Engine is probably the best part. Overall car has good road feel and is very comfortable. Auto climate control is nice, as is the power up driver?s window. Handling is precise, but not spectacular. The engine: It is absolutely the best thing about this car. The engine loves to rev, and after you hit the 5,500-rpm mark it begins to pull even harder (when the VTEC kicks in). Six-speed manual is incredibly smooth and quick. Negatives: Don?t believe the reviews about the stereo ? it isn?t that good. The big woofer in the trunk is more gimmick than real sound. The stereo lacks power. The back seat is only good for children ? nobody else.
