Love It. — I love this car. It's stylish and easy to drive. It also does very well on gas. The only thing I would change is the radio, it's very basic. Other then that this car is awesome. Even the acceleration on this car is better then any other 4 cylinder car out there.

Highly Suggest It To Anyone Looking For A Cheap Pre Owned Sports Car Maybe For A Young Adult — needs all wheel drive and turbo from the RDX but maybe thats my inner eclipse trying to get loose. This car says Acura but it screams Honda. Meaning you get great dependability and reliabiltyin a car that seems like it has a rocket for an engine. i could get a better bang for my buck. Especially since its so good on gas.

Great Car. — the looks of the car could be a little better. the handling makes you feel like you cant drive to hard around a corner with out tripoding. when buying the car make sure 3rd gear dosent pop out some times and if so make sure worenty will cover it(very common problem with the syncros).
