    Love This Awesome Looking Pocket Rocket — Bought this car at the end of 06. No problems yet. 6000 miles. Really good gas mileage and love the Vtec.

    Pros: Made by Honda(Acura is an american division of Honda), Very Reliable, VTEC, Good gas mileage, not underpowered, awesome looks

    Cons: Not many accesories but hey this is a straight to the point sports car.

    Good Car, But Not Type-s — This is a great car, from the looks to the handling, the power is decent, but would've been more with a type-s. The car comes stock with racing- similar bucket seats and the interior is just as nice as the exterior. Great all-around car. The VTEC feeling is amazing when it kicks in.

    Pros: VTEC

    Love It! — Jan. 2014 Nothing can be said bad about this car, if you can find one - buy it! However, if you have kids or are looking for a smooth ride; this car is not for you. The back-seat is small and the car has sports suspension. Sept. 2014 I have had this RSX now for 8 months; the feel and handling appears to have gotten better over this time due to it getting broken in and used to my style of driving. The S-Type seems to cheer you on to high-revs and drives very well at high-speeds; keeping off of the throttle requires discipline. So far, I have required no major repairs. At 137k, (bought the car with a 112k) I have only had to replace the high-pressure power steering hose, due to a small leak - and I drive the crap out of this car! I still highly recommend this car; 6-speed is fun to drive and the car as a whole can take pretty much all you can throw at. Next update: 1.2 year mark.

    Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

    Pros: Great car all around.

    Cons: Rough suspension.
