S2k Dude

Let me start of by saying that owners who purchased the S2000 are not missing much.

Highs:
* Crisp (but heavy) steering response
* Nice engine sound
* A back seat (although small)
* Hatchback (room to carry something)
* i-VTEC gets better after 6,000 RPM (sounds familiar)
* 6-Speed Transmission that's buttery smooth
* Bose 8 speaker 6 disk in dash sound system
* Fit and finish of an Acura
* 4 year/50,000 mi warranty

Lows:
* Not as stiff as the S2K
* More body roll than the S2K
* Definitly not as fast as the S2K
* Somewhat poor body styling
* Not a head turner of a car
* No tuned exaust note, no exaust sound at all
* No double wishbone suspension up front
* Only 100 hp/liter
* Read lines at a mere 8,000 RPM
* Less torque, 141 lb/ft even with i-VTEC
* Seats are not as nice or as comfortable
* Plain looking wheels

Anyone else have any comments?

You didn't tell us how much.

All the details can be found at: http://www.acura.com/2002AcuraRSX/ but I think the price is around $24,000 for the Type-S.

I test drove one yesterday, too.

On a side note...the sales guy I was with was in that accident last week...what a coincindence. He was not injured at all, but the car had $13K in damage.

On the RSX...I agree with Dave. It is a great car for >$25K, but it's definitely not an S2K killer in any way but fit and finish.

I found and posted a picture of that accident in the S2000 talk forum. You got the saleman that was hit...LOL.

I test drove both RSX type S and the TL type S and thinking of purchasing the TL. What do you think
