2006 Acura RSX User Reviews

Pros

interior style, great handling, user friendly controls

Cons

slow acceleration from standing start, issue with 3rd gear

I purchased my RSX Type-S in June 2006. I'm satisfied with the car to this point. There's only two issues I have. One, from a standing start the car is sluggish, it doesn't move until it reaches 3000 rpm. Once it reaches 3000 rpm, that's where the car really shines. There is a definite difference. Second, when shifting into 3rd gear sometimes it doesn't want to go in. I had the same issue with an '02 Civic EX. I would recommend this car to someone who doesn't care about gas mileage (premium is recommended and I've averaged between 18 and 19 mpg, of course that may increase if I drove it more sensibly) and is looking for an enjoyable ride to and from work (I've a 45 min ride to work, so this car is enjoyable for me to drive back and forth). It's sad that Acura dropped this car. I think if they improved some features (engine, sat. radio, etc.) that it could have been re-intorduced.
