My parents just picked up a brand new (34miles) 2005 RSX, and its really nice! 8) I have driven it only once (unfortunately its an automatic, for city driving or something

) and it is very nice to drive, although I certainly didn't give it much gas since its still in the break in period. 8)

The interior is really nice especially considering the price, and I love the steering wheel, I wish my car had once that nice. The seats look aggressive, and definitely hold you in the seat, but they are also quite comfortable. Hopefully I will be able to give a better report on the driving impressions the next time I'm home and the car is done with the break-in period.

All important custom shots:

Now it has around 500miles on it...still a while left in the break-in.

I took a few pics of all three of our cars today:

^^^ah cool,thanks mate

wish we got the type S version of this car or whatever one has 160hp,be more chance of gettin insurance then,lol only version we get is the type R and actually we have to import the latest type R

Yes, it has 160hp/141trq.

My parents came very close to getting the Type-S, because it has 50hp more and really doesn't cost all that much more, but alas, no automatic option (I think the high rpms of the Type-S makes it a no-go for torque converters, plus its the sporty model). If it were me I would have gone for the manual in a second, its one of the best 6spd trannies out there. 2 out of 3 of our cars are manual, so its not all bad.

nice car guy. I'm a fan of the RSx, they're a lot of fun to drive. Its a shame about the manual, and the Type-S is a buttload of fun to kick around, but its still a sweet car nonetheless. Does this have the all red interior lighting? If so I love the look of it, makes a really good mood in the car.

Yeah, very nice facelift. I loved that steering wheel too.

Plenty years of fun ahead =) .
