Default How good is RSX-S ?

I recently got rsx type s for my 18th bday for 17.5k

and i was wondering how good is it, and how could improve it to make it nicer?

well i dont know much about cars, but i like fast and sporty ^_^


And im pretty decent driving stick, is ok if the engine kinda roar alil louder the usal when i gas it in first or reversing out... i think im gasin it too much =\

also umm when goin in 5th gear and shiftin to 6th, im afraid that 6th and reverse are the same so i might put it in reverse. =[

is that possible? lol

Your profile says you are 27. In your post, it says you're 18.

Make up your mind and stop lying.

Btw, your english sucks. You are completely incoherent.

no, your car will not go in reverse while its moving forward
there's gong to be a wall there so it won't allow you to even by accident

you have a lot to read if you want to know more about your car
try using the search function or google because just about every question you can think of has been answer multiple times

congrats on the present

go read ur manual. it clearly states that the rsx has a locking mechanism or w/e so when shifting into 5th u will not shift into R. make it look nicer...

Its a good car, and a good project car for sure. At 6K rpms the vtec will kick in. This is the loud reving sound you hear. No its not possible to go into six just enjoy the easy ride. Probably start off with CAI (Cold Air Intake), and exahust. Dont feel bad about not knowing anything about the car but, for everyone do some research before posting and try not to sound so... well like your post
