I got the car a couple of months ago and I'm still never tired of driving it. I almost got the auto because I didn't know how to drive a stick. I'm glad I made the effort to learn because once you go manual, you never want to go back. I seem to get a lot of "lookers" around my car too. Freeway on-ramp are so much fun now!

This car offers luxury and comfort right from behind the same company that brought us the Acura Integra. It's sporty look combined with it's performance offers more than meets the eye. The Acura RSX is trully one a kind car that should be a part of every adventurer's repetoire.

This car is simply great - the best bang for my buck. The interior and exterior styling is exemplary. This car has enough smoothness and sophistication to impress the ladies, yet enough oopmh and power to wow your guy buddies.

Don't take it to the mountains

My radiator blew half way up Pike's Peak highway during a vacation to Colorado. My RSX was only 5 months old. We had to have it towed down the mountain and to a local dealership. It was fixed, but not before half of our trip was ruined. The worst experience was trying to deal with the Acura Roadside Assistance people to get reimbursed for some of our travel losses. After speaking to several people, none of whom cared, and writing a long letter detailing my experience, I finally received a short response that said little more than "go to hell". The car has been adequate since, but this experience will keep me from buying another one.

More good than bad

Though at first I was doubtful of the 200 horsepower with only 140 torque, this car really moves fast and has ridiculously amazing steering. The styling is so-so, the seats are great for going fast but harshly solid when relaxing, the shifter is stiff from 1st to 2nd and has some problems in 3rd but is otherwise fantastic, and the main problem is the ride quality (unbelievably noisy on highway, harsh on bumps, engine always whines). It doesnt touch the smoothness of the Eclipse in terms of power or ride, but handles much better and, when punched, absolutely flies.
