 Favorite feature:

Manu-Matic Transmission

 Least favorite feature:

The Type S only comes in Manual, so for all of us that want to drive fast but dont like stick....

 Advice to buyer:

Great purchase, but dont expect alot of trunk room if you don't put the backseats down

 Detailed review:

Being a 17 year old teenager, of course the first thing I look for in a car is speed. I mean thats what we all want right? Well lucky for me my mother owns an Acura 2.5TL and needed service. The car that they lend you during service is the 2002 Acura RSX that I had been researching for weeks. Well after my dad brought me home from an away basketball game, and I saw it sitting in the garage, I almost flipped a sh!t. I always wanted to drive one of these!! So after I wolfed down my dinner I plotted to take it. Plan sucessful. Upon backing out of the driveway I noticed the stick could be moved over to the 'M' position. Ah Ha! The infamous manu-matic. All in all the car ride was amazing. The Manu-Matic transmission did not produce one problem. The stereo system was on point. The car control was very nice, as well as braking distance and acceleration time. Trunk space was adequate for a teenager like myself, and if more room is needed the backseats fold down. Upon return, I was trying to be sneaky. It's kinda hard to be sneaky if the music is blasting and the brights are on. Oh well....

 Also considered:

1996 Acura 2.5TL
2000 Chrysler Sebring
