Type-S model really gives you the power to beat 3-series BMWs on the straights. Looks gourgeous after 8 years and still turns heads, especially with 15K HID lights. Gas mileage is decent enough and its a blast to drive. Only major problem is that Acura does have a recall on the 5 spd auto transmission.

quiet, responsive and a nice growl when u get on it... the manual mode of the 5 spd auto is immediate although I wish it allowed me to grab first gear. on the other hand, the auto trans shifts abruptly and the long term reliability of Honda automatics isn't nearly as stellar as that of their engines. I love the interior, black leather supportive seats, all controls in the usual Honda places. memory for the seating position is a bonus. wish it was better on fuel. brakes are great, VSA is not intrusive and it can be switched OFF at will.

Overall, one of the best cars built at the time. I test drove just about every car available at the time, and this was the winner. It was quick, handled well, great sound system, and awesome seats. My only complaint, no manual available that year. Had I gotten the TL-s, I'd probably still have it! (Coupes just don't work as well with kids.)

I use this car for daily driving. Very responsive and agile. I avg. 24 mpg in suburban and 30 mpg. hgwy. I can drive this as an average or spirited driver and am never disappointed. 270 hp is more than enough to whiten your knuckles.
