  Doesnt get any better for the money. - 2006 Acura RSX
  By Reggie - September 22 - 9:36 am

  I leased this vehicle in March 2006 and is due back this upcoming March, so plenty of time with the car. Great looking, reliable, quick little car. I have the black pearl and it looks beautiful when clean. 17" wheels support the handling. This car handles unlike any other I have ever driven. 210 HP and still getting over 30 MPG on the highway with Bose 7 speaker system. $275 per month well spent. Never had an issue with it through the 37k it has to date. Back seat it kinda tight so I dont recommend it for a family vehicle or if plan to have friends in and out. Seats keep you nice and firm when driving but not the greatest to take a lunch time nap in during work hours. Highly recommended.

  Great Sports Car - 2006 Acura RSX
  By David - August 19 - 2:11 pm

  This car is great, pretty fast for a 2.0L inline four. Quick on the acceleration and grabs corners like a magnet, rides smooth even over very deep pot holes and high speed bumps. At top speed is pretty smooth and stable along with shifting the whole way, pretty good for a 5M base but theres always aftermarket for those days when you wanna get up and go. Did lack a couple of interior options and design for an Acura but still being a sports car, its awesome. I would recommend for any driver, guess thats why after I bought mine, I now know 5 people who recently bought one as well. Cant go wrong with a Honda.

  Best Lookin Bang for your buck! - 2006 Acura RSX
  By MiKoLoR - August 1 - 12:03 pm

  So much fun to drive. The fastest N/A 2.0L inline 4 on the market. I love corners and quarter miles but hate speed bumps, steep driveways and large pot holes. Amazingly reliable and takes the beating of burnouts and high revs! 8100 RPM redline!

  Rock solid car. - 2006 Acura RSX
  By Farage - July 24 - 2:22 pm

  I live in New York City and as an everyday commuter sitting in heavy traffic, the automatic makes perfect sense. It is a great looking car and very comfortable for 2 people. The handling is excellent and the sequential sportshift 5 speed is tons of fun. It is a little underpowered but that is why there is a Type-S. I upgraded to the 17 inch wheels from the type-s for better handling. The stock 16s lack style in my opinion.

  Great first sports car - 2006 Acura RSX
  By Keith - June 9 - 2:43 pm

  This car is great for a first sports car. It has plenty of power and handling. This thing takes turns beautifully. Shifting is smooth. There is also a lot of aftermarket parts for it.

  Great Car - 2006 Acura RSX
  By Brandon - April 11 - 8:26 pm

  The RSX type S is a great all around car. The exterior looks awesome. Engine is great. Has plenty of power in the top end. The midrange suffers. Interior design is nice. Its a simple design, but I still like it. Sound system is great. I wouldnt change anything about it. Transmission is one of the best Ive driven. Throws are quick and light. Great feel. Pedals are good for heel-toeing. Brakes are nice and strong. Seats are awful. They support you well but will hurt you after about an hour. This car feels nice and solid, is pretty fun to drive. Plenty of interior storage space. Hatch has plenty of room for luggage and other junk.

  Awesome car! - 2006 Acura RSX
  By Tomcat01 - March 22 - 7:27 pm

  I have been driving this car every day for about months and havent had to take it to get worked on once. While having a good amount of power you get good fuel mileage, cant beat that.The baking power is amazing the car will stop on a dime The RSX holds its value witch is good. This is my first car and I feel i made the right choice.

  Fun to drive - 2006 Acura RSX
  By Kevin - February 13 - 2:03 pm

  If you live in an area that has rough roads, make sure you test drive before buying - this car does not respond well to rough road surfaces. A lot of noise transfers to the cabin and the ride is harsh. This is due to the sport suspension. I had an 03 Type S before the 06 and do not remember the ride being as tight/harsh. Asside from ride quality on less than perfect roads, this car is perfect - great gas mileage, a lot of fun to drive and it holds its value very well. One other known issue among 05-06 RSX owners is the dash rattles when the temps go below 50. Once the cars interior warms up, the rattle goes away. These issues aside, I would purchase this car again.

  Safety - 2006 Acura RSX
  By Joe Millhouse - August 20 - 8:55 am

  One of the most fun vehicles to drive. Bought new from dealership in February 07. Excellent gas mileage, 90 percent highway miles. I recently walked away from a very serious accident with only 2 minor scratches. The safety features in this car saved my life. Wish this car was still being produced, would buy again without hesitation.

  My favorite car so far - 2006 Acura RSX
  By Benjamin - April 27 - 2:52 pm

  I absolutely love this car. I love the handling, I love the suspension, I love the looks, but one thing this car lacks is power - the base models measly 155 hp just isnt cutting it. Otherwise the car is great. Better gas mileage and more comfortable seats could help (my backside hurts after long road trips).
