  Amazing - 2006 Acura RSX
  By Matthew - September 30 - 2:18 pm

  This car is very quick, and peppy. The 6th gear is a bit tricky getting into if you are not used to having a 6th gear. Acura also fixed the 3rd gear problem with the 05-06 RSX Type S. It use to be notchy, or crunchy, but it is fixed now. The leather is very nice, and automatic climate control is a cery nice feature. The Bose upgrade is awesome!

  My 05 RSX-S - 2006 Acura RSX
  By Acuraman - September 30 - 2:00 am

  Bought my RSX on presidents day 2005. I have since put 40k miles on it, most of it drag racing at my local track. Its been down the 1/4 mile at least 150-200 times, pulling 1.9 60fts on Drag Radials and it never once complained one bit. Its as solid as the day I bought it, no squeaks, no rattles, no engine or transmission problems. When Im bored of the track, I take it to the canyons and fall in love with it all over again, hearing that engine sing to me at 8000+ rpms while snicking through that perfect gearbox is heaven. This is absolutely the best car Ive ever owned. ZERO PROBLEMS, rock solid reliability!!

  By kbballers - September 26 - 11:13 am

  Pros: Fun to drive. Great handling. Good gas mileage. Looks good Cons: Stiff ride but it is the price you pay for good handling. Small backseat but that is how a sports car is.

  The Last Year RSX - 2006 Acura RSX
  By RR - September 6 - 9:24 pm

  This is a very cool looking and pleasure to driving Japanese coupe. The road noise is notified as a light weighted Japanese sporty car with a little harder struts system.

  Excelent Car for the Price - 2006 Acura RSX
  By Omar - August 30 - 10:06 pm

  Used to drive a BMW 330ci coupe but decided to change after a relocation due to my work. I was looking to buy a long term car. I looked at various coupes to replace my "baby", and ended up with an RSX (wanted lower car payments). Although not a BMW, for the money, I do believe it is a great choice if you want a sporty car, without spending the big $$$. If you are in definite need for the performance, go for the Type S.

  Very Nice - 2006 Acura RSX
  By DanO - August 26 - 7:47 pm

  I bought this RSX-S on my birthday a great present to myself. I wanted one 3 years ago. This car is quick, nimble, well built, and has looks to die for. After 15 miles of driving, I felt at home in it. 6-speed is close ratio...for around town, just get to 3rd and stay there. Engine is a marvel of Honda engineering hungry for revs, and with 8 grand redline....well I have to get used to it! Interior is very comfortable and good looking, exterior is handsome and paint is flawless. This car has every feature (standard) that cars at 10K more have...an incredible value if you are in the market for this type of car.

  Type - S Review - 2006 Acura RSX
  By solid - August 22 - 7:36 pm

  This car is definately the best bang for the buck. Everyone keep in mind I drove a Honda Civic prior to purchasing this car. The Type-S comes fully loaded with nothing to really do. (unless I wanted to fix it up) This is my first car purchase out of college and I am very satisfied with it. I have looked at other cars in the same price range for many months and found this to be the most attractive with a decent amount of hp. I have had no problems as other users have had year to date. I get about 23 to 24 mpg driving local most of the time. I got a great deal on it (Leased it).

  Great Wheels! - 2006 Acura RSX
  By Commissioner - August 22 - 5:46 pm

  Bought a red Type S and couldnt be happier. Been looking for a sporty coupe with a stick since I sold my 94 Vette. Yeah, I know, this aint a Vette. But it just might be even more fun to drive. Im not crazy about the exterior, but the interior is really nice. I dont get the people who complain about the ride. If thats so important why didnt they buy a luxury sedan. The RSX is a more of a bare bone sports car, though it does have the Aucra luxury, and, more importantly, the Honda reliability. Like I said, the exterior doesnt do much for me. I prefer the older Acura Integra...or, better yet, a Hyundai Tiburon GT with the Type Ss drive train.

  Dont buy this car - 2006 Acura RSX
  By masterbulk - August 20 - 9:30 am

  Strut noise will haunt you. It would be the most embarrassing new car you would ever own. The noise started 3 months after I got the car (3700 miles. They kept saying they are working on a permanent fix. Its Aug as of this review date. NO FIX!!!! Worst part. The dealer refused to replace the struts several times. I had to go to another dealer to have my struts replaced. But they say the noise will come back. I guess we just have to replace the struts every 15000 miles

  Best Ever - 2006 Acura RSX
  By Nick - August 4 - 3:18 pm

  This is the second RSX Type S I have owned. Initial quality was beyond my expectation. Fun car to drive, nimble and responsive, great handling. Fuel efficiency was all as advertised. If you can keep your lead foot off the accelerator, even better. Lots of trunk space under the hatchback. Servicing dealer is also more than one would expect. Takes the extra steps to make sure you are happy. Just what you would expect from a luxury car dealer.
