For what it is, it's a great car. That comes with a big "BUT" though. The RSX is an Acura through and through, whereas the Teg was more of a suped-up Civic. The RSX-S is faster than the GS-R ever was (hell, it's faster than the Type-R), it just doesn't feel like it. It's more of what I'd call an "owner's car" as opposed to a "driver's car". It would be damn nice to own one, but if you're looking for a driving experience, look elsewhere.

Finally somebody that admits that the RSX "ain't all that." I was *extremely* disappointed in the RSX-S when I drove one nearly a year ago. My GS-R was much more agile, stopped better, and accelerated better. The GS-R was a much better performer (and I REALLY miss my Integra, now).
