When it comes to Acura, you drive away happy and come back happy.

I have had my car brand new since 2006 and have had no major problems with it. Doing the regular maintenance has kept it running nicely over the years. I would recommend acura to anyone. From gas mileage to performance to design to reliability, I have no issues.

Hunter S

I love my Acura. It is a good long lasting car that you'll fall in love with.

I have no issues with my car. It runs great and it drives great. It does have a lot of miles but it is still going strong. I have had to change the brakes twice and get three new tires but that is all since I have bought it.

Mario B

That it is a type s model. Therefore it comes with a lot of extra things.

I like my vehicle because it's great on gas. It is compact so it makes parking easy. It has a small 12 gallon tank which is not too bad for fuel cost. I also love the reliability.

Peggy C

Trustworthy and its four wheel drive gets me where I am going to.

I love the luxury of it and the gas efficiency. I love the god built in and also the seat adjusts to my key fob. It's the nicest car I have had.

Lee W

My car is small, tiny, petite but fast and fierce.

I love my car. I love how small and comfortable it is. If you are single and have no kids this car is perfect for you. I rarely have problems with this car I have had more than six years and it still runs smoothly as if it was brand new. You should get this car if you are looking for a nice simple cute car.

Old white Acura is great!

My white old Car still runs like a champ even after all these years. If you love a car and take of it, you will have it forever. This is especially true with an Acura. It is a comfortable ride for myself and passengers. It is spacious. The trunk has great space. I cannot say enough about it.

Kaynon P

It is a very dependable vehicle and if you had the choice you should get one too.

I dislike the fact that it is front wheel drive. All wheel drive would be a better system. I also don't like that it feels cheap on the inside.

J P

It has not broke down on me but I do take care of it.

Not much complaints about it, it's a good car. The only bad thing about it is that it eats up gas I don't really want to explain about it.

It is a manual car. It was custom made and has all black leather interior.

There are consistent problems with the car. I have spent over $4k in auto repairs in the last two years I have had the car.

Mr R

Gorgeous 2006 black rsx, black interior.

It's an excellent car, I absolutely love how it runs. I've own this car since 2006 and had no issues with it whatsoever. Highly recommend this vehicle to anyone who is looking for a sporty car, it is also on the smaller side but other than that it's pretty comfortable. Love this car, it is super reliable to get to work also great on gas!

Claudia O

Brake changed. Like changed. Good condition, all problems have been fixed. Been used a lot but works in good condition. A/C works for the summer. Color is all black interior is blacked out as well. Other than that everything is good. Wheels have also been changed along with the motor.

It's reliable and fun to drive. The gas mileage is great. I feel safe in it.

I love the luxury features of leather and Bose speaker system along with the sunroof. I dislike the comfort.

Pros from Owners

Ellen S.

Terrific engine (Honda), rides great, only problem was needed new starter (130,000 mi), still very stylish, if you love Honda, you'll absolutely love this or any Acura. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this today knowing what I know.

Cons from Owners

Ellen S.

The only con is not actually the car's fault. Again, it is base model from 2006. This was the last year they made the rsx model. So,, that being said, no frills like the cars/trucks have today. I do look forward to an upgrade one day.
