Best car I ever bought
Like everybody else who has written a review here, I love this car. I get a smile on my face every time and get in and start it up. Sometimes I shut the radio off just so I can enjoy the sound of the engine. I love the red dashboard lights and the way the seats hold you in place when going around the corners.
Type-R Takes a Turn for the Better!
My parents bought me an Acura RSX Type- S in October 03. The car is amazing. The performance is in a league of its own. Place a full cat-back exhaust, and a cold air intake and the I-Vtec roars to a second birth through every gear. Gear ratios are set perfectly, only if it reved like the S2000 then the RSX would be flawless. Beautiful interior, luxury with sport. Aggressive Exterior and brilliant Metallic colors. Truly in a league of its own!

Outstanding Vehicle.
I don't normally review things unless I can speak from a relatively extensive experience. I've had this car for a little over a year, and I accumulated ~25000km on it. I have very little to complain about. It meets and exceeds every single expectation I had when choosing a new vehicle. Fun, economical (with respect to my 2000 Pathfinder ... everything is economical), and of course stylish.
Good car, bad people
I have never been to such horrible dealerships in my life. The people are just horrible, they don't care about the customer, they are willing to say just about anything just to be able to deny (warranty on) your claim on problems and issues with the car. The warranty as far as I'm concerned is completely irrevelent, since they don't car to abide by it. If you want a car without a warranty, this is the car. But you might as well buy it used for that matter.
Sport and Luxury on a budget
I thought for a long time that this car was an overpriced Civic, but it appears that Acura put the money in all the right places. It takes an econobox, gives it a beautiful interior, and puts in Honda's best features- the high-rev VTEC 4-cylinder and the 6-speed manual. I have 8K miles on mine with no problems other than a loose piece of weatherstrip on the passenger door.The car would handle better with more aggressive rubber, and I find myself needing to get out to stretch my legs on trips longer than about 90 minutes, because I can't quite fully extend my leg while seated no matter how hard I try. I'm 6'4".
