The RSX-S is a great car if you like the Japanese pocket rocket segment. I had a 93 Prelude VTEC and was really impressed with the RSX-S I test drove. The gearbox is super slick, nice interior, good ride/handling trade off and Honda reliability. The engine lacked the top end punch of my Prelude, it made a lot of noise but didn't feel like it was making a lot of power up top. The Acura TSX drives similar and has four doors, a nicer interior, but still looks good. I had a new V6 Mustang for a week as a rental and it felt like it belonged in a rental fleet (nothing good to say about the car except the looks.) The first generation WRX for the US is another car I drove and came away super unimpressed with.
