  Too much fun! - 2006 Acura RSX
  By Joe G - May 14 - 8:05 pm

  Until the RSX-S, I was not a fan of 4cyl coupes. This car has changed all that! It is quick, agile, great looking and gets you noticed! The car feels like a much more expensive vehicle and offers just the right amount of ammenities. The hatchback design also makes it very practical, in short, it is a great car to own and drive!

  exceptional value - 2006 Acura RSX
  By tompanone - May 5 - 9:35 pm

  i have owned a honda civic for 10 years. this car surpasses my expectations: it is fun to drive, it handles like a high-performance race car, and it is very reasonably priced. the value for price paid is outstanding. i am thrilled with this car! i wish i had bought it years ago instead of the honda civic - which was also an outstanding buy.

  A great little car - 2006 Acura RSX
  By sundownlady - April 14 - 5:13 pm

  This car drives great has the handling capability and stability of a BMW. It seems its cruising speed is around 80 mph and is a real pleasure to drive. The fuel economy isnt that great, but perhaps if I maintained a "normal" speed it would be better. Bottomline, I Love IT!!

  everything i expected - 2006 Acura RSX
  By robert - April 10 - 10:38 am

  searched long time to replace my old car, this car was the result. originally i looked at the civic EX but it was only 1000 cheaper and i knew the acura service would be much better. the car goes quick, slight noise on rough roads, but on nicely paved ones very quiet. for 20000 wont find more reliable car w/2 liters + all std features of elec acc, cruise control,auto climate control, great recaro standard seats. i test drove manual found it to be geared tall. i liked the pickup of 1 and 2nd in the auto. didnt try the rsx-s because i need the mileage more than the acceleration, and the -S only comes in leather. leather tears eventually. my best city mileage 28, best hwy at 65mph was 44

  Spirited Driver - 2006 Acura RSX
  By Brett - April 5 - 3:07 pm

  This review is from the perspective of a "spirited" driver that didnt have enough money for a ferrari. Yet. Everything is as expected. Hondas reliability with Acuras fit and finish yields an excellent platform. The i-Vtec engine is really fun, even with only 155hp. The lightweight chassis makes it seem like much more. This cars fun-to-drive factor is through the roof, stable at high speeds, and very sure footed. On frigidly cold mornings there is a little chatter from the dashboard (mounting clips?) but goes away after the car warms up. Great in the snow. Car never bottoms out. I am disapointed about its gas mileage. I wasnt expecting 34 but 25 is about the best I can expect.

  By Rosemary Eppa - March 23 - 1:08 pm

  Driven mostly in town, to and from work. No long trips yet. Very reliable, gets in and out of tight spots well. Great get up and go and great braking ability. Havent really stepped on it yet but has plenty of horses to spare. Very tight gearbox. Fun to shift up or down. Wet or dry its all good.

  i got this car about a month ago and i absolutely love it. its great to drive, nice and smooth, the bose is good, i listen to alot of rap and i love bass and although the sub it came with wasnt enough it still sounded great even though i added 2 12in subs in the back. performance wise, INCREDIBLE. this car shifts AMAZING, i love the sound the engine makes, revs high i like it. very VERY fast, 120 EASY. extremely enjoyable to drive. this car is very HOT, the ladies love it, and it stands out where ever you drive. i couldnt ask for a better car. i love my 06 rsx type-s and i wouldnt give it up for anything (maybe a ferrari but i would sell it and buy another rsx and keep the extra money 8-))

  Know what you are buying..... - 2006 Acura RSX
  By CarolinaRSX - February 8 - 4:55 pm

  I have over 1000 miles on my 06 RSX- S. Its a great car so far. Took it in once already with a known problem in the front springs. The gearing is very close so be prepared to change them A LOT. Unless you want to whine the car out to 6K-8K rpm everytime, in every gear, you will be shifting 4 times by the time you hit 45mph. The car does pull hard to 8.1K rpm, but who wants to rev the engine that high ALL the time. The seats, radio, controls, styling are all fantastic. The handling is close to the Mini Cooper, but longer wheel base makes it ride better.
