Overall, it has been a fun car to own. The build quality is very high; there have been no major mechanical issues after over 100,000 miles. The interior is also still in good shape, with no major wear-and-tear and no rips, cracks, or other issues. The upgraded engine and six-speed for the Type-S gives the car some nice acceleration, and it handles nicely around the curves. The front bucket seats are comfortable even for longer drives, though I can't say as much about the rear seats. The dash is simple and easy to use even without looking at it once you get a feel for the buttons and dials. It has a nice sound system as well, though I wish it came with an aux input. The fold-down rear seats and hatchback give you a surprising amount of room for cargo - I've used it many times for moving... (more)
Story
I have a lot of fond memories driving out to my friend's house for 4th of July barbecues every year. The route out there goes along a winding road over a hill, and then out onto the island along the river, and is a perfect drive for a warm summer day with the windows down and a good song on the stereo.
Pros
The engine and six-speed manual make the car fun to drive, especially outside the city on some winding back roads. All mechanical systems have been very reliable. The upgraded sound system is nice. The front seats are comfortable even on longer drives. The hatchback makes it easy to fit a variety of items in the back. The car's size makes it easy to park pretty much anywhere.
Cons
The seats, both front and back, have limited headroom, so it wouldn't be suited for taller people. The back seats are just uncomfortable in general, although you don't generally buy a coupe to transport more than two people anyway. The stereo could use an aux input. Headlights are a pain in the butt to replace.

The Acura RSX is a classic sports car, which can be easily modified to fit anyone's needs. It comes from the same factory as a Honda so is reliable as one, going well over the 200k mark with little need for repairs or spare parts put in it. Build quality of the inside is a little bad as it is a 13 year old car, however it does have leather seats and the interior is nice and dark. Nothing on the car has broken thus far, with the original key fob and engine parts working just fine. It has a retractable sun roof which is a huge plus in the sunny California area. The fuel economy is quite good, getting up to 30 mpg on the freeway. There is no need for premium fuel as it uses regular fuel. It is a hatchback which means it has a large trunk space where a lot of groceries or other cargo can f... (more)
Story
I've taken many trips to outdoor camping with the car. The hatchback makes it able to fit a lot of stuff. It's very enjoyable to take a coupe camping.
Pros
Sunroof is a huge positive. Looks and styling are awesome. This car is easily modified, which appeals to a lot of people.
Cons
Little bit of a bumpy ride. Getting kind of outdated.
