The turbo-like iVTEC rush @ 6000 RPMs. Big Grin Factor!!
Least favorite feature:
16' wheels. With 205/55R16's this car is under-tired.
Advice to buyer:
Plunk down another $1800 for aftermarket 225/50R18 tires & wheels
Detailed review:
Comfortable, fast, sporty, and a 9.8 out of ten on the fun-to-drive meter. An excellent value in its price range. It may well spank some 'sporty' cars costing twice as much. Just love Acura's attention to detail in the way the climate control dials (for instance) snick through each detente. Buttery smooth 6-speed. A huge aftermarket of go-fast parts will develop for this car over time.
Also considered:
1999 Acura 3.0CL
Vehicle purchased:
2002 Acura RSX
