The RSX and the 24V VR6 GTI are the best, more affordable 'sports compact' cars i've ever owned. I still have both in the garage. The RSX is a very 'tossable' car with excellent and stable cornering ability and decent acceleration. I wish it had a bit more torque, but all in all, still a great car. My only gripe is that Honda (and other manufacturers like VW) are grossly overpricing their cars as of late (the last few years). This is why companies like 'Scion' are breaking out big!

awsome car great price fast

A nicely designed vehicle. Powerful, good cornering, and sporty. (driven 2 of them)

It is the best car I have ever owned! In fact I started with the base RSX then traded for the Type S. Great looking,great power, great steering,it's over all the best sports coupe on the market. Plus it's a Honda,which seem to last forever!

Ugly car, don't like it, really gross.

I'm sorry, although Honda is known for incredible HP per Litre, their cars are just too slow to be considered a sports car. A True sports car should have acceleration, top end, handling, and still leave room for comfort. If you'd like to know more about nice sports car please visit my post in the Supra forum. You might find it helpful as to why the KMIV should be a little higher in the list. Not to sound mean or anything, but you might learn some things about the Supra you never knew, or that might amaze you. And for those of you who think I'm a F&F fan, I'm not in the least bit a fan of that movie. The movie sucked for being based on real events and being so fake. I don't really think the RSX is that bad of a car but it's rated way too high for a sports car.

To all the people who REALLY know a good car when they see (or drive) one, this is the car for you! I'm a 6 month owner of the RSX (base model) and I have to say that this car does not disappoint on any level. Performance-wise you can't get much more bang for your buck than RSX: 0-60 in 7 to 7.5 sec. and 1/4 miles in mid to upper 15's stock. But numbers belie the true sense of this car--you have to sit in one to really appreciate how FUN this car is to drive. A warning is that once you drive it once, you won't be driving anything else so if you have your heart set on a Celica, Tib, or Si, drive those first. Style: 4/5 (this is a hit-or-miss as Honda usually is, I love the look but some may want more curves). Interior is beautiful. Performance: 4.5/5 (some may say just a tad underpowered for the base; handling is excellent for a front-wheeler). Value: 5/5 (lets just say you get your moneys worth). Fun factor: 5/5 (too much fun!) overall 5/5

small, powerful, and fast. what a fun little car! Special bonus that separates it from the pack of sports coupes is the short shifter which is just short of amazing
