test drive it cold, and see how the transmission is. 50%+ owners have notchyness and ocasional grinds/popouts

i'd be willing to talk about possibly selling ours.
we just had a baby on July 10, and backwards facing infant seats now are HUGE!!!!
we actually use our SUV all the time now.

2006 RSX
5 speed Manual Trans
Leather interior, black
Magnesium Metallic paint
18000 miles (adult driven...i will be 40 in december, bought it as a 34 MPG car to drive to work)
has fog lights (dealer installed option
has the optional spoiler (best option no RSX owner seems to order from the dealer)

i can almost guarantee that you will never see the same factory combo on any other car.
we ordered it and it took 4 months to get here from Japan.

NO mods.
only issue....2 rock chips on front edge of hood
bumpers perfect
body sides perfect
alloy rims and tires perfect
interior perfect
everything else perfect
rubber mats and rubber cargo mat in back on top of factory mats.

great car, never any issues, only to the dealer for oil changes.
in the Chicago area.
e-mail: richard.colbert@morganstanley.com

would listen to offers better than 19k
thanks

not that i hate srt-4s or anything but the rsx is such a far superior car
i know that the srt-4s are fast in a straight line but the rsx towers over it in:
quality, fit and finish
resale value
reliability
handling
gearbox
safety (a 30mph t-bone is almost certain death)

if that concerned with something that is fast in a straight line
then get a bike, a stang, or something rwd

I don't give a f uck what you do to that SRT-4 Cha Chi, at the end of the day it's still a NEON. Put a turbo on your RSX-S and you will be WAAAAAY faster than your pu ssy SRT-4. Why I oughtta reach through this monitor and choke you. You need to have your *** kicked so severely.

lol don't be mouth yapping. srt-4s have decent easy hp upgrade and alot faster on straight way. rsx type-s are alot to accomplish you know. btw i went to check out a srt-4 today and it was alright. not too bad. i'm doing a second thought on my next ride for an Evo9 instead. but hey.. i'll still have my lil baby rsx on the side also. maybe the rsx for a daily driver.
