Rear bumper looks a bit gawdy, and I personally don't like the wheels, but if you're asking about it as a whole, it's a clean car.

Rep Power: 0 I think it has a little bit too much of the whole BMW Z thing trying to go on with it, with all the slits in the body kit everywhere. Other than that it is okay, just not my cup of tea
I drove one this weekend actually, since my baby was totalled and just wanted an excuse to drive a bunch of cars. I was mildly impressed with the performance(V6 6spd) and even a little with the handling. However, I wasn't that happy with the interior. I liked the RSX Type S a hell of a lot better and it is only a few thousand more and the RSX had leather and one hell of a sound system.
I wish I was asian

Acura RSX-S MT Leather - MSRP $23,270
thats $5K difference, both leather interior... I'd take the tib.
personally, i'd rather spend that $5K on a sound system, engine, and what not.
actually, maybe i'd save even more and go for the 4 banger tib. Apexi turbocharged the 4-banger version, so thats another possiblility to go with for even more power.

Rep Power: 0 It's a given that Hyundai's and Kia's are less expensive than a comparable Honda, Toyota, or Nissan. It's because they have traditionally marketed an inferior product, so they have to compete based on price.
Would anybody buy a Hyundai Tiburon V6 if it was priced the same as an RSX-S? Hell no.
