Used 2006 Acura RSX Consumer Reviews
Safety
One of the most fun vehicles to drive. Bought new from dealership in February '07. Excellent gas mileage, 90 percent highway miles. I recently walked away from a very serious accident with only 2 minor scratches. The safety features in this car saved my life. Wish this car was still being produced, would buy again without hesitation.
300,000+ miles in the odometer & going strong!
I bought my Acura RSX - 5 speed brand new in 2006, the last year before Acura quit making them. Back then it was a little more pricey than I wanted but what an investment! I got oil changes usually between 3-5k miles (never over) & with basic maintenance, I have only had to begin to replace major components within the last few years. I replaced the original clutch at 200,000k & the radiator around 275,000k. In the past, I’ve had Maserati, Isuzu, Infinity, Mercedes & Jeep but this car is by far THE best, most reliable, least needy car that I’ve ever had. It is not anywhere near a luxury, technology packed vehicle but a car designed for the real & raw driving enthusiast - it handles well, it’s quick/agile, brakes are very responsive, you feel a lot in this car because of the rigid suspension & some people may not like this but I feel very in touch with road/in control especially because it’s a 5 speed. The driver & passenger front seats are bolstered & all the controls/dash are angled toward the driver for ease of convenience to give a race car appeal as well as a secure ride. Bonus: The front wheel drive handles great in light snow (1-1.5 ft) as long as you drive with common sense. No navigation system but my iPhone works just fine & never cost me a thing to update.

I bought the car for 3000 dollars less than the Blue Book value from a dealership in the Philadelphia Area. It came with 70,000 miles and it was in wonderful condition. The exterior flows-- it's designed so well and it looks so sexy! It's so smooth. By the way, mine's red. ;) I like simplistic interiors similar to that of the '98 Hondas. My family has owned four generations of Accords, and I love the older looking interiors. This car's interior is simplistic, yet futuristic, and that's why I love it. The slip angle at all four corners of the car was designed perfectly, and with MacPherson Struts, I was surprised at how perfectly this car corners. Fast, sexy, and reliable. 5 stars
Awesome car!
I have been driving this car every day for about months and haven't had to take it to get worked on once. While having a good amount of power you get good fuel mileage, can't beat that.The baking power is amazing the car will stop on a dime The RSX holds its value witch is good. This is my first car and I feel i made the right choice.
