what are you opinions about this car and how much can you get it for?

[jphase]

I like this car alot. I find it to be a very nice 2 door coupe. It has luxuries of leather seats, and sporty-ness of the 2.0L I4 I-Vtec with 200-hp? and alot of other stuff.. I love the looks. as for price, it depends what u want, what year, and what model. Of course the Type-S verisons will cost more. If you wnat a 05/06 Type-S, it'll be somewhere from 18k + but then again, your getting a very nice car. i considered this.. but i like 4-doors better. I hate having to pull the front seat backs forward to get people in and out. but other then taht. Very Reliable car, Very Nice car IMO

oh, this car is considered as a sports car right?

no

my mom has a type s. its a nic car for daily driving, and handles decently for fwd. the seats do hurt my back when i have to drive long distances though. also the leather is cracking on the drivers seat, she has an 02. other than that its a great a-b car

[minji]

i plan to get an 06 base model. and limited options.

the only thing i like about the rsx is the k20a2 motor and tranny. The interior is also pretty decent (compared to older integras and civics)

Its a fwd drive with rear seats so i wouldnt even try to call it a sports car, more like sporty.

[herovueboi]

I think the RSX has one of the best interiors that Honda has offered. The seats are really nice with leather, as well as the motor and tranny rocks. I like the whole car all around and I might pick one up in the future, the Type-S is totally worth the money.

The 06...thats the one /w the K20Z1 right?

The 06...thats the one /w the K20Z1 right?

i think the K20z1 is the 05 type s. Might be the same for the 06 too

its still marketed as a sports car.
your insurance company will charge you likewise.

[xiaoyi]

my brother has one... i like it a lot. looks cool.

no they dont, and if your insurance company does give you the same rate as a sports car you need to change companies...the rsx is NOT a sports car nor is it markted as one. they market it as a sporty car, at least for all of the ads i've seen

By traditional definition sports cars are generally two door, two seat cars. They are engineered to emphasize a combination of power, handling, and sleek styling. BUT, the word sports car has evolved over the years and many consider Integra Type-Rs, Mustang GTs, Evos and STis as sports car, but we can agree that they aren't "pure" sports cars. But saying that they are sports cars are not entirely wrong anymore. Why do I say this? Every definition of "sports cars" that you see these days... there is NO solid definition of a sports car. It will usually say... "traditionally" or "generally" or something pretty vague like "a small high powered car with a low center of gravity and "usually" has two seats.

To an insurance company... even a Integra GS-R, Civic Si, Chevy Camaro Z28/SS will categorize these cars as sports cars. So it all depends on who you ask.

To me Integra GS-R/Type-R, Civic Si, Camaro Z28/SS, Mustang GT, Acura CL Type-S, VW GTi, Lancer Evo, WRX, STI are all sports cars regardless of FF, FR, AWD. A regular Integra, RSX, Civic, Mustang, Lancer, etc I would only call "sporty". Cars that manufacturers build and emphasize decent power (or power/weight ratio) and handling even if they have 4 doors and 4 seats are sports cars to me. Face it... the term is evolving along with the cars. When I want to categorize cars like NSXs, RX7s, Murcielagos (sp?), etc. I make sure I mention "pure" sports car.

Damn I apologize I wrote so much. I also probably opened myself up for some opposition hahaha.

[azn akira]

go drive an actual sports car ie: nsx, rx-7, elise, etc. then go drive a gs-r, civic si etc. and tell me they are the same. there is no comparison to the driving feel and experience actual sports cars give. the evo and sti are family sedans on steroids. yes they are fast, but not they are not sports cars. sports car doesnt translate into fast car. and believe me any us spec dc5 is definetly not a sports car. you can try and argue about the itr (well at least the dc2 itr, the dc5 itr is pretty dissapointing)

[minji]

i was planning on getting a scion tc, but my dad doesn't like that car. so i've asked for an acura rsx. does anyone know when cars are the cheapest? like months wise. or just normally cheaper than other times.

[babohyungjin]

generally a few months before the end of the year, thats when they usually have to clear out inventory for the following year

yup
btw go get a wrx instead goooo subaru~

[azn akira]

bleh subaru...the rsx is much much nicer than the impreza. im guessing this person isnt buying the car for performance (not like wrx excels in that catagory either).

[LangMan]

I've had the base model 06 Rsx for about 2 months now and from what i used to drive before this car is a great ride. I love how the gauges and cd player seems to face towards u when in the passenger seat. I get pretty good gas milage and in my opinion good features for the price. And if your transporting more then 2 people the back seats are roomier then other coupes ive been in. overall im happy

[babohyungjin]

what lang said..
when i was buyin a car, it basically came down to either rsx or wrx

my friend has a wrx, and i hated the interior =| not sayin the rsx interior is the best, but its a lot better than the wrx

in the end i chose rsx because its a tad bit more "luxurious" than the wrx, also with rising gas prices, its more convenient because its a lot more fuel efficient..
it comes down to the fact that you get a decent amount of "bang for your buck" with the rsx
