Great gas mileage, fun to drive, reliable.

Cons

I WANTED THE TYPE-S. Struggles a bit going uphill, but I'm okay with it.

A Car With So Much Depth. — I got my RSX as a gift for my graduation, it was supposed to be a daily driver, but the way the car is built leads me to believe otherwise. It corners really well, and the build quality is up there.

Leather Seats ?! — Great car....Performance is like no other car for the price. However I paid for leather seats, but got plastic instead which are now cracking and ripping on the driver's seat. It's covered under warranty and the dealership is going to replace them....with WHAT may I ask ? Like I said, it's a great car but I consider this a major disappointment.

The Car Is Amazing Especially The Interior — RSX is a 2-dr hatchback coupe sold in base and higher-performance Type-S trim. 5-speed automatic transmissionsheavily bolstered front seats, and extra interior accents in chrome and faux titanium.

Leather interior, comfortable ride, looks great

Cons

Not quick

2005 Acura Rsx With Type-s Interior — I owned this car before my 04 STi and it was a great car all around. I got it automatic for commuting and I love how comfortable it feels/drives, but it lacks the power I like to have in a car. The 160 HP is not horrible, but I always had to wonder if I was going to be able to pass someone....not fun.
