I am really thinking about buying a new car. I love my hatch, but I would really love to get something new. Any S owners can you give me opinions on the car. What does it drive like, anything brake on it, stuff like that. Please none of that **** like "It's awesome because I got one, or it rocks because its an acura". I would love to hear what an owner thinks about it.


thanks in advance

Down to earth, its not the best looking car out there, but I find it pretty enjoyable to drive, hence why I have one I guess. Has a good powertrain, chassis rigidity is good. The interior layout is stark, but I like it thay way. I like simple interiors with good seating position etc. Stock, I feel Honda missed on the shock dampening and rebound and seriously under-tire'd the car. I haven't had problems with mine, but the transmissions can tend to be a little finicky and that's a major complaint.

Overall, the entire package isn't the fastest, but I find it pretty rewarding to drive which was what I was looking for.

 

I like the car. It's fun to drive has good power and reliability. Like DC5 03 says the could of did a better job on the suspension and tires. The car handles like crap compared to the DC2. Th esound system is good enough for the daily driver. It's clear the subwoofer puts out good bass. The AC is good. Plus when add I/H/E you get a nice kick.

 

I personally think they did a bang up job overall designing the whole look of the car, interior design is great especially. It is fun to drive with a good amount of power, and it responds very well to mods (like davanca24 said). Honestly the only complaint I have about the car which I am actually getting used to after 2 weeks is visibility out of the back windows. but like i said... you can get used to that.

 

The car looks fairly bland in it's stock form, but with a lip kit and a decent drop it looks hell of a lot better! Interior is VERY sharp.

This car is a blast to drive and it responds brilliantly to mods &lt;3 k-series. The short throws in the 6 speed tranny is simply amazing, there's shortshifters available, but I didn't really see a point. Handling can be greatly improved w/ the abundance of aftermarket parts. I'v had mine for about two years and have had no major problems at all

 

Great car, i dont wanna repeat what others have said, so far i agree with all the comments, but i will add that the seats are great too.

 

I love those huggers. My bro just got a RSX-S. Great car

 

my friend has a 03 type-s. Great car! he slapped on Tein Type Flex w/ EDFC and his car handles even better.
