Default 2002-2006rsx. whats best?

I really want to upgrade from my 2001 em2 civic, and i love the rsx. I know about the problems with the 2002 and i would like your opinions on the other models. Also, i know this is a nooby question but did the type s come with a spoiler that looks really aftermarket? i searched it and some pictures had the spoiler and some didn't.

So if you could, just give your honest opinion on the year that you own, or just what you know about the car in general.

Thanks

Hunter

The one with the high spoiler has the Honda A-Spec package. Honda a-spec consists of coilovers in rear, springs and struts in front (provide 1" drop and a bit stiffer than stock). Wing, lip spoiler, front lip, rear lip. It was a dealer installed factory option for the type-s.

05-06 has 10 more hp-thats it
imo the 02-04 looks better (as seen on type-r)

This is covered in many places and web sites. I'm sorry you can't seem to do your own research.
