  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.

  Ive had this car for a little more than half a year and I love it. Its fun to drive, it looks hot, and has great acceleration. I wish I got it manual, though, and in black (too hot in miami). It is a bit expensive, but it has great resale value, so Im not complaining. I love that its small and compact. And I love how guys wanna race me but then when they see Im a girl, go away. =P Leather is comfy and remains so even after 5 hours of driving. I changed my rearview mirror ... its a lot wider and I can see EVERYTHING.

  Love This Car - 2006 Acura RSX
  By Jess2112 - April 12 - 7:16 pm

  This is a great car to have. I drive it all the time just to drive it. Its quick and very responsive. Nothing in the car is less appealing now than it was when I bought it, i.e., leather is still in great condition, etc. This is by far my favorite car.

  Great looking fast car for a great price. That v-tech motor is simply awesome and 31 highway miles, cant beat that either.

  Great for my tastes - 2006 Acura RSX
  By Jared - March 22 - 7:40 pm

  Certainly a big step up from a 97 Explorer. Sporty feel in the suspension and more than enough power get off the line. Hardly any disappointments, except: no automatic headlamps, poor sound system, and sometimes the automatic doesnt respond after slowing below 20 mph. As for the lights, my explorer had them, so why not this? As for the sound system, there is no stock system that could ever compare to a decent after market system and as for the throttle response, if it were a huge issue I would have gotten a manual transmission. As I said for the money, I dont think you could find a better car.

  I think that this car is excellent and can be driven even by the unexperienced drivers. This car accelerates and handles great. I love it.

  By jen - January 17 - 2:27 pm

  This is a car for those who want a luxury car for a good price. It handles really well in all conditons, I live where we have ice and snow on the roads and it has never let me down.

  Fast, Fun and Completely Comfortable - 2006 Acura RSX
  By Steve Sherwood - December 23 - 1:53 am

  I came to the RSX after finally deciding to retire my 1989 Acura Integra, which had 207,000 miles on it and was still going pretty strong. I cant say enough about my RSX. Its been even better than I anticipated. I considered the Honda Civic EX and the Scion but have been completely satisfied with my RSX. Its fast, fun and completely comfortable to drive, gets excellent gas mileage and has all those standard features that make Acuras such a solid bargain. Most of the online reviews mention that the RSX is not the fastest off the mark in first gear and thats true BUT it is more than fast enough! The cars a blast to own and drive, it makes me happy every time I get behind the wheel.
