In the reviews I've seen, they call in "mushy" and "uninspiring". They also say it results in comfort, but its not made for corner-carving. The Evo will fix that...

I also agree it could be better but I think most of the problem is the tires not the suspension. Does anyone know exactly how lowering the RSX Type S will affect tire wear and alignment? I want to lower it but don't want to put up with wearing out $180 tires every year.
Also, does anyone know exactly what the 0-60 performance really is? Every mag I have read gives a different time. It seams like the only one that really performed a valid test was Car and Driver but there score was very dissapointing to me (0-60 6.7 sec).

Mitsubishi wants a piece of the pie as well. Since Subaru is putting out 265hp WRX STi in 2003 as 2004 model.

Unless it was a V6 Firebird. Then it would be slower (more weight), and if it had the slushbox, no chance. But a V8 would cream an RSX.

RSuX
Ok, before anyone responds just to tell me how wrong I am, I don't actually think that the RSX sucks, I just miss the Integra! I'm 20, I recently got my second Honda, a 99 Civic EX for the next two years, and then I was so looking forward to climbing into a new `teg once college was over. I feel like I've been served an injustice in the form of the RSX, if only because I feel as if can no longer afford Acura's equivalent of the car that I was dreaming about. I respect the styling changes, the RSX looks clean, sharp, and to re-iterate the article, refined. The problem is, now I feel like this is a car that belongs in the hands of my Mother, not me. Don't get me wrong, I know the RSX has the juice to go if you want it to, especially with an S badge, but I think the conversion was miscalculated. I know I have a lot of friends who were big fans of the Integra, and the RSX just doesn't feel right taking its place. I enjoy the way it handles and admittedly when I test-drove one, it did give a less jolting ride than the `teg, but it just doesn't come off the same way as it's little brother. I feel like my option now is to grab a Civic SI, but it looks like Honda is screwing up the look of that model too...Where's the in-between? A goofy-looking hatchback SI, or a more posh, stylish, grown-up Integra? I want the harsher feel, the engine noise, and the sleek but hungry look that came with Acura's teenage entry-level ride. Maybe I'll get what everyone else is saying about the improvement eventually, but for now I think I'll just spend a little time pining and trying to decide between a grown-up, entry-level luxury coupe, and Honda's SI-styling kick in the nuts.

HondaRacerX: I know how you feel!!! Some people have no idea how important it is to have feedback, through the wheel, pedals, shifter, audio, visual, everything. I want to know whats going on with my car, not merely accept it. I want the car to be an extension of myself, complete with nerve-endings. Looks like the last few options we have are dissapearing, and we have only the use cars to look to.
