  Great car, great value - 2006 Acura RSX
  By Albee - July 20 - 8:47 pm

  Just bought a new Type S and couldnt be happier. If youre looking for top performance (i.e. extremely fun to drive) at a very reasonable cost, get this car. It has great acceleration and handling, and working the clutch is extremely easy. The 6 spd is great for the hwy mpg (city mpg is not 23 btw unless you drive real slow. figure about 18-20). Couple issues with the car is it can be a bumpy ride on non-smooth roads due to tight suspension. Also, engine gets loud at high rpms (redline starts at like 7500). In terms of construction, the car is a rock. The Type-S is 100% made in Japan (most Acuras are made in the USA now).

  BABY BOOMERS RSX-TYPE S - 2006 Acura RSX
  By Phil Epps - July 12 - 2:23 pm

  This car smokes. Great pick up and plenty of power. All aspects of car feel just great. Sound system will blow out the windows. You can hang meat with the A/C going and still get 30-32 mpg on the freeway. A little hard for this 57 year old to get in and out but once in the comfort is unbleveable. Little or no noise from outside. Tight steering and ultra close gears in the 6 speed. Feels great to drive and always has enough power.

  The RSX is the best small sporty car - 2006 Acura RSX
  By jake c borunda - July 9 - 7:25 pm

  Quite simply put the RSX Type-S is simply the best small sporty car offored in todays maket, and will be for years to come. Nothing in, or near its price range is even close to offeringing the RSXs level of refinement, luxury, sportieness, and refinement with a five year fourty thousant mile warrentee. Not to mention the level of seviced recived when purchaseing an Acura. The closest thing out the is Civic Si, and you cant put that and luxury in the same catagory. Not that it isnt a great car. Its just that its not as nice as the Acura, in Type-S form. After this you have to step up to BMW, Infinnity, or Lexus.

  Great Car... except strut problem - 2006 Acura RSX
  By MKB - June 28 - 8:36 am

  The perfect blend of a daily driver and a back road driver with the ability to exhilerate. This car can be driven as two different cars, below 4k rpm and above 4k rpm. Take your pick and you wont be disappointed. Be aware though that the RSX and from what I have learned the TSX have issues with the front struts. The right front strut on my car began making noise at 500 miles, now at 7200 miles and no fix yet from the minds in Japan. Other than a minor paint blemish this is the only fault Ive found with the car. Seats are great, providing a comfortable driving position, although extended drives become somewhat tiresome. Auto headlamps would be nice.

  A Great All Around Choice - 2006 Acura RSX
  By Frank - June 18 - 12:32 pm

  I decided it was time to purchase a reliable car that would hold its value, Acura was my choice. The warranties, customer service and quality of these cars are second to none. I needed a daily driver that was sporty, reliable, held its value, and got great gas mileage at a good price. The RSX was all these things. Im extremely happy with my purchase. Im in Pa and averaging 31-32 mpg with a little spirited driving in that number. The car gives all its power in the 5- 7k rpm range. Its quite a sound at that rpm. I wanted the S-Type but the insurance premiums made it unrealistic, not to mention having to use Premiums gas. The 5-speed base RSX was the perfect compromise for me.

  2006 RSX-S - 2006 Acura RSX
  By jake c borunda - June 12 - 8:35 pm

  This has been one of the mast fun and exhilarating sporty car I have owned to date. Out of the GT Mustang, Z28 Camaro, SVT Focus, and C230 Mercedes this care has proven that not only can you have sports car performance, but you can also have luxuryous ride as well. It does well in every catagory, not only in performance. Acura could easly justify chargeing well above the manufactured sticker price, or even the dealers asking price. This car is a home run!

  Subtle Performance - 2006 Acura RSX
  By DrummerJim50 - May 25 - 1:31 pm

  Good performance with good gas mileage. The styling is very subtle which I like because it doesnt draw too much unwanted attention. Slick shifting manual. The ride is a little harsh at times when going over defects in the road. The car sounds awesome with the windows down at 7000+ rpm. This is truly a drivers car. Another added bonus...for a few thousand a turbocharger can put it in the 300+ HP range.
