given a WRX for an "over night test drive" in May 2006 when I was <BR>looking
for a new car. I ran the SHIT out of in in the 24 hours. I was
<BR>fun off the line, but torqueless in around town driving. It was
<BR>torqueless at highway speed, too. I bought the RSX-S instead.
It's <BR>also a slug. Now considering V6 Accord, Miata or BMW
1.<BR></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>

<DIV>I bought my RSX-S in June of 06. Yeah, there are quicker cars out
there, but I genuinely like the car. Its has the same torque / response as
the SE-R does, but just screams above 6k RPM. And it looses nothing until
the rev limiter kicks in at 8400 RPM!!! There is just something about
winding a street car that gets 30 mpg to 8400 RPM that I get a kick out
of. I also like the handling of the RSX, limits way above the
Sentra, and still quite predictable at the limits.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But like Wayne has said in previus posts, its doesn't have the character,
the soul the SE-R has, which is why I still have my SE-R. Is it the
boxy styling? The seats that hug like a bear (RSX Seats look great but
have support only if one is 5 feet wide)? The SR20? The cheap (even
for its day) entry price? The fact it can carry 4 sets of tires in the
trunk, plus gear for the auto x and still win the class ( back in the day, D
Stock baby!!!). Or maybe the fact I bought the car when I was 18 brand
new.</DIV>

<DIV>Who knows..</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>V6 accord though? might as well buy a town car!</DIV>
