2006 Acura RSX Type-S Review
Prosa ton of fun Consif your a baby about cold leather
35
Awesome — great car only thing it was missing was heated since especially since it was leather interior. 6 speed manual transmission was a plus. 6 disc in dash cd player was nice to have. but buying wheels and tires was a little pricey. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

ProsFun to drive, fairly practical, and solid overall. ConsThe car has too many comprimises and was expensive when it was made.

Good For What It Is. — The car is great overall. It's a solid performer for it's model year, but in general it just doesn't keep up with today's sport compacts. The factory tires are just not up to the task, and the lack of a limited slip differential really hampers cornering and overall grip. The car is solid through and through although the gearbox does come with some nagging issues that i never would expect out of Honda. Appearance-wise, the a-spec kit is a little much, but its functional and does make the car look a bit more aggresive. The car has a great aftermarket...but only if you're willing to shell out the cash. Budget options all pretty much suck. However as a daily driver I definitely couldn't ask for anything better. | ||

2006 Acura RSX Coupe Review
Prosluxury, gas mileage, build quality, performance Consturning radius, sound system, maintenance can be pricey
35
Versatile Sports Coupe W/ Exceptional Refinement — This care easily cruises at 70-80 on the freeway, and I'm glad I have to reign in the speed, rather than always prod it to go faster. Acceleration, braking, and handling are very good, but not stellar. When I get in, the seat seems to hug my form and I appreciate all the sleek, sexy details incorporated into design of the interior. I also like the understated elegance of the exterior. Thus far, I haven't needed any repairs. Once I had to reset the power window auto-down button. But, that's about it. You can fit an ungodly amount of stuff in this car when you fold the seats down and use the hatchback feature. It also gets great gas mileage! I'm averaging about 28 to 31 now. This car fits my personality and I anticipate enjoying it for many years to come. I only wish it had a better stereo system and an auxiliary port for my iPhone 3G. | ||

ProsFun to drive, Good gas mileage, Sporty, Great looks, Great handling ConsSlow to accel, rough ride on bad roads, 3rd gear problem

The Rsx-s — Acceleration's a bit low, but it's a very smooth ride on great roads. It has a problem with the third gear, not being able to stay in gear immediately after you shift. Appearance is great. Decent gas mileage, doesn't need tons of maintenance, just synthetic oil every five thousand miles. This car is amazing to drive; you'll love taking corners and curves! I would recommend this car to any Japanese car fan, who loves to drive actively. | ||

ProsQuick, Sharp Looking, Fun 8300 rpm redline, and 31 mpg highway Cons8300 redline isn't fun in city driving, and ride comfort isn't great

Economy Car With Ferrari Dreams — Leave it to Honda to make a car that gets 28/31 mpg, goes 0-60 in under 7 seconds, and can dance with an STi through a slalom. On back roads this car is a blast, i've never flogged a car this hard, and my tires show it. Even when this car comes undone in a corner, all you have to do is either let off the gas on stomp on the gas to save it, it's miraculous. On the highway, the big gears in it allow for smooth passing even in 6th gear. However thanks to the hard suspension and short wheelbase, it is really a rough ride. | ||

2006 Acura RSX Coupe Review
ProsLooks, reliability, leather heated seats ConsGutless, front wheel drive
45
It's An Acura — Bought it new on somewhat of an impulse buy, I did fall in love with it when I first got it but soon realized what I could have got for the same price. So far mechanically the car has been perfect, I have been pretty hard on it and it takes the abuse well. Build quality is good, handling is quite good for a front wheel drive car. The car sounds nice for a 4banger but is somewhat gutless, however I couldn’t justify paying the extra 6 grand for the type S. All in all it’s a very good daily driver, looks sharp and it was bought new so I really can't complain. | ||

2006 Acura RSX Type-S Review
ProsHas great acceleration and always climbing. Spacious front seats, smooth handling pretty good gas mileage if driven appropriately, has pretty good stock power runing 200 hp at 7800rpm. Cargo capacity is great for a 2 door coupe. ConsIf you lay into it prepare to lose traction if using stock tires. Back seats are tight but are more comfortable than most coupes.

Rsx Type S — I've own many Acuras and Hondas in the past, this by far is one of my favorites. 2.0L iVtec 200hp 6sp = total awesomeness. No issues for the 1.5 years of ownership, great fuel economy (30+mpg) I will definitively own one of these again. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

My Rsx — This car feels like a sports car. I like the ability to accelerate at will, great braking power and it handles really well. I suppose my biggest complaint is the heat the car gives off from the aftermarket hedders and reduced fuel economy. But hey, you have to accept such things when wanting to go really fast. I also like the amount of after market accessories available. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
