Luxurious and sporty interior with sport bucket seats (front). Standard Leather w/heated seats, Standard Sunroof, standard HID (High Intensity Discharge) or Xenon Headlights, quick responsive i4 i-vtec engine with 200 horsepower.
January 5, 2008This car is great i've had it for a year with only minor repairs and routine maintenance. It accelerates easily and quickly. It rides smoother than any other car i've rode in. It looks good on the inside and on the outside. Acuras cost a little more when you buy them but its worth it in the long run, and it has great gas mileage.
July 12, 2009It's a great reliable car. Drives nice, good on gas. Its a 4 cylinder but has 200 hp, so it's got pep when you need it. Overall maintenence has been good. It's a really fun car to drive. Only pep peeve, is the low front nose, making it suceptible to stone chips.

October 26, 2008For a 200 horsepower 4-cyl. car, this thing is really quick. It sounds beautiful when you put the accelerator to the floor. It handles great, looks great, lasts forever . . . what else can I say?
June 22, 2008For a daily driven car, it has a good balance of everything. The performance of the car is not lacking from the factory, plenty of power (200hp), ride is smooth, handling is balanced, and has a luxury feel. It also gets 25-30 mpg, depending on how I drive. Interior is very nice, no cheap plastics and no rattles after 118k miles. Did I mention I have tracked this car a few weekends and I drive it 35k miles a year? Only problem in last 60k miles was the AC compressor and power steering hose.
December 2, 2009Performance - Acceleration is good for such a heavy car. Braking is wonderful. Handling is awsome but I also have it lowered. Build quality is incredible. Went from a RSX and it makes that car feel like a kids toy. Apperance - Damn it is hot. Cost of ownership - If you can't afford to fix it, don't buy it. Fun factor - Smile when I get in and continues until I get out.
August 28, 2008performance, handling, accelaration, build quality, appearance, and fun to drive. Great steering and stability. Superb six speed manual transmition. Buautuful body style, refined leather interior; grat feed back from the steering system, good mpg, particularly on hwy: 31-32 mpg
August 7, 2009I love this car. Its been there for me. If you just take care of the car it will take care of you. The power and handling on this car is awesome. Its also good on fuel and is a low emission vehicle. Works great!!
November 10, 2012performance: its not the fastest car in the world by any means, but it handles very well and is lots of fun to drive. build quality: its a honda... Appearance: love the exterior, its one of the best looking cars ever made imo Costs are low, relatively cheap to maintain.
June 14, 2011not enough power but plenty for a 4 cyl premium sound is a plus styled very luxurious fairly cheap to own such a fun car to drive would rather have a g35x or an is250 but keeps up in luxury 4 doors
