2004 Acura RSX Type S review from North America
"Great"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Plastic portion of headrest (on drivers seat) kept unfastening... replaced under warranty.
General comments?
The car has great high end power coming from the factory. Gas mileage is around 31mpg. The tranmission shifts like butter. The suspension is OK, but most people will change it out to get more of a road feel. I'm still on 16's and can really carve some sharp curves.
I definitely get looks in this car. Sometimes too many fan-boys want to race illegitimite cars (Tempos or whatever else they can pull out of the dump) or admire by following you everywhere (like a stalker).
