"Cnets Got this one ALL wrong"

by canehdianJ on June 21, 2007

Pros: Lack of traction control, High reving engine

Cons: Bose sound system is severly lacknig
Summary: Cnet is more wrong about this car then any I have ever seen. If this is what they think of the RSX type S then can you imagine the Ferrari F40. The F40 is around 300 000$. It comes with only one option, A/C and thats it. No stereo, No Compass, it doesnt even have floor mats. I wonder why a car that expensive has no gadgets? Because its designed for people who want to drive not fiddle with pointless electronic junk and this is the same with the RSX. Everything is where it should be, the short shifter makes for great throws, theres cruise to make long trips bearable. Acura covered all the basics with this car. Its purely designed for someone who loves driving. If you find the seats uncomfortable, lose some weight, this car isnt designed to be driven by a 300lb nerd interested in electronics. I Cannot think of any other seat ive been in that is more comfortable with better bolster support then this car. This car is a drivers car. PERIOD. If you enjoy driving, then this is a great reasonably priced sports car. Oh and another thing. Its a 2 door. exactly how often are you going to use the back seats. In the 2 years of ownership of my previous coupe, I used the back seats about 10 times at most.
