| Purchased a 2004 RSX-S in Silver for 23,000 OTD at Baranco Acura near atlanta. Great Service, and price. Sales tax was at 5% so the car was near or under invoice. Extras I got were wheel locks and a trunk tray, (were included, really had no choice) | |

my new RSX today: desert silver base model with 5-speed stick and cloth - don't like leather. Purchase price is $19,250 which is about $200 over invoice, and is almost $1000 under Edmunds TMV. It includes a "Pro pack" they wanted $500 for, which explains the "$250" part of the 19,250. That has stuff like wheel locks and trunk tray. The only thing the finance manager tried to sell me was a 100K extended warranty for $995. He was very persistent, despite my repeated assurances that I was not interested. Needless to say, he did not make a sale! I feel good about the price, and I love this car. My old integra just passed 251K miles, and I am hoping the RSX will give me a comparable experience. It is almost time to put the 'teg to rest!

A friend of mine bought one (silver/leather/automatic) recently, he really likes it. Though I'm generally not a fan of automatics, this one (5-speed) is nice and should prove to be economical on the highway. Do you still have your Matrix? |

is gone - it was a trade on the RSX - and after three weeks of blissful driving, it is clear it was the right thing to do!

| missed anything in a car more! How can people stand to drive autos? I will never understand. | |

What is wrong with driving an auto? What is your age and what type of driving do you do? |

zero engine control, forever in the wrong gear at all times, and loss of what seems like half the engine power when you need it most, because the torque converter isn't locked up. But I am sure this is not the right place to be discussing this... My driving is the usual sort of stuff...my commute to work is short, my commute to campus (graduate school) is not, and all the other typical stuff. |

That's not true with a manual shifting automatic. I also use mine for engine braking on snowy roads...works almost as good as a true manual and much better than just using the regular brakes. My driving is the usual sort of stuff...my commute to work is short, my commute to campus (graduate school) is not, and all the other typical stuff. Try commuting 700 miles per week in stop and go highway traffic...you'll change your tune. I don't do it any more, but I did it for the first year after buying my RSX. |

beg to differ....just a different perspective, that is all. For several years I commuted 300 miles/week through heavy traffic with a stick shift, no prob. I agree with you regarding the manumatic thing - improves the situation a little, but for me the bottom line is your transmission is still slipping most of the time. My Acura dealer just invited me to a "new owner's clinic" - free food and "a chance for service staff to get to know me"...I skipped it. What service does this car need anyway? Hardly any... |
