I have the base model RSX, manual, with cloth. Nighhawk black pearl.

I honestly love it. I wanted a car that got 30MPG average, used 87 octane, and was an LEV. I think it's one of the fastest cars that maeks that goal, and Acura has a reputation of quality amongst the best.

Not a very luxury filled car though. The leather and climate control is nice, but thats really it. I like it this way.. I like the curb weight of under 2900lbs that comes with that. Its pretty small of course.. but for a 2+2 my rear seat passengers always come out saying how its not that bad at all for a sports coupe.

Did you test drive? The base model isn't what I would consider a "fast" car, but I would certainly call it "quick". Theres *never* been a time when I needed it to be faster for driving.. it always pulled. But its still a high 15s car for the 1/4 mile, 0-60 in the low 7s. Thats nice but nothing to brag about. Handling is absolutely excellent for a FWD car, probably one of the best FWD platforms. The aftermarket for the car is wonderful too. Just don't rice it out.

I've had it for two years + now, I got it around a week after the first cars rolled off the trucks. Never had a problem with it, and I maintain it well. Soon I think I may want to trade up to the Type-S model, which is what I wanted originally but couldnt afford. Take a look into www.clubrsx.com, some good people and lots of information.
