Great car. Not much like it on the road
I love this car. It's made by Honda, so expect Honda reliability. The 200hp TypeS engine is a hoot! If you haven't ever driven one, you owe it to yourself to go down and try one out. Take it up to 8100, slam it into second, and hold the hell on!
Great Car
This is my first new car and let me tell you, it is great! Bought it last February and I have not regretted it. While not the most "sporty" looking car, the styling grew on me and then I knew I just had to buy this car. Overall, I'd say best car for my price range. Rev this engine up and I guarantee you'll be breaking the speed limit. Great handling, Great interior! Could use a little smoother tranny, but I get by with it.

Excellent sport hatchback
Needed a new car for college that would have a useable interior space for more than 2 passengers, and reasonable rear space. The hatchback design gives it a large portion more space and ease over a trunk in a sedan/coupe. Good price when compared to similar cars in this class. The low weight combined with a 4 cylinder engine allows it to have great gas mileage and impressive pickup. Very easy to learn clutch and excellent 6-speed transmission. Fun to drive and highly reliable, would recommend this car to anyone looking for more sport and utility in their daily driving.
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".
