  Doesnt get much better - 2006 Acura RSX
  By John - October 11 - 9:20 pm

  I had a 2003 RSX-S and unfortunately drove it into a cement wall while going about 70 mph. The car held up great, it was totalled of course, but I was fine. I walked away, so I must say the safety on them is awesome. I liked the 2003 so much that I got the 2006 RSX-S for a replacement. Couldnt be happier, I went with Black on Black. Beautiful car. I love everything about it.

  2nd RSX-S - 2006 Acura RSX
  By Cookinham - October 1 - 11:20 am

  A few weeks ago I turned in my 2003 RSX-S with 40,000 miles for a new 2006 RSX-S. The reason is clear, this is the best and most fun sports car I have ever owned. I want to keep that feeling for as long as I can, so I got a new one. Same color, silver, and everything else is the same. I have owned two Porsches and this is more fun more reliable and a lot cheaper to maintain. If you want a fun car that will not cost you an arm and a leg and that is highly reliable you should get an RSX.

  Love it! - 2006 Acura RSX

  Sold the SUV for more fuel efficient car and bought a 2005 RSX. Im averaging 33mpg and not driving in the slow lane, if you know what I mean. Handles tight curves like a champ. A real head turner, too, but not overdone. No complaints. Id buy it again in a heartbeat.

  Familiar yet new. - 2006 Acura RSX
  By dime5150 - September 21 - 7:40 pm

  I recently purchased a 2006 RSX. Mine had 3 miles on it and just came off the boat. The car is amazing. It is what the Civic should be and fills in the gap in the lineup. The car is beautiful. The headlights are not only beautiful but functional with great light splash on the road. The interior is very clean and well thought out. The seats are comfortable and attractive with racing inspired looks. The car doesnt scream at you like what the sport enthusiasts want (add aftermarket if you want that) but has that real classy look that will last. These things are hard to find even new. Leather is unneccesary as the cloth is perfect and reminicsent of the type r.

  2005 RSX S is a Best Buy - 2006 Acura RSX
  By Greg - September 20 - 11:49 pm

  I used to have a 1999 Honda Prelude and I know how reliability is one for my biggest issues. Honda has proven to be one of the best reliable cars for the money. I drove the Prelude like I stole it on the regular. Now that I have the RSX S, WOW! This car is amazingly more fun to drive and revvs strong to redline. Most of my friends who own European cars love the high revvs to redline. This car handles like a champ for daily driving and is light enough to toss around for some fun times. The power to weight ratio is very close to the S2000 so it pulls very hard for a 4banger. Ive read many posts about just adding an intake and race header and youre on your way to high 13s soon........

  Luv my new RSX - 2006 Acura RSX
  By Rog - September 17 - 1:12 pm

  My new RSX is everything I could hope for in a new car. Rides like a dream! The interior is so comfortable and all the knobs and buttons are very easy to get to and easy to understand. Even the engine compartment is well designed with lots of elbow room. And its the sexiest car in the lot.

  Baby Born to Run - 2006 Acura RSX
  By RSX 2005 - August 23 - 9:52 pm

  I purchased my Acura after trading in a 2002 Civic. The civic has become small, drab, but excellent gas mileage. I went to view the Acura line I was impressed with all models. I fell in love with a greenish/metalic gun color unique to any other care I had seen. The sale was very easy: the car sold itself: solid, sporty feeling and pickup available in manual transmission with a leather interior or a beautiful tan microfiber seat/side interior. My test drive lasted 18 hrs as I moved from Austin to Nashville. At no time during the 1800 mile stretch did I feel cramped, the seat fit my body and was firmly attached to the body, something Civic lacked severely. Leather seats, who needed them..
