Actually, you're wrong.

But don't be deceived. Although the RSX--even the hot-rod Type-S--exhibits the resistance to turn-in (read, understeer) common to virtually all front-drive cars, there's far less of it here than in the GS-R, and it's balanced by a willingness for the rear end to slide when the driver backs off the throttle or applies a touch of brake. It's called oversteer, a trait treasured by enthusiasts and rare in cars with a pronounced forward weight bias (61 percent of it up front in the Type-S) and with front wheels that are required to transmit both power and steering inputs. And it's all the sweeter here for its forgiving nature. The Type-S can be coaxed into a modest four-wheel drift, but it returns to the path of righteousness with a little waiting and perhaps a hint of opposite lock.
Understeer is the usual penalty for overdoing it, but we were pleasantly surprised at how responsive the Acura is to the throttle. Simply ease off as the car drifts wide of the chosen line, and it obediently tightens back up. There is some body rotation available if you brake deep into the bends, but the RSX is mainly yaw averse.
It's also important to note:

Turns out that was a bit conservative, because this new 200-hp replacement for the Integra got the job done in just 6.1 seconds. Furthermore, it bested the GS-R's quarter-mile time by 0.8 second and 5 mph (at 14.8 seconds at 95 mph) and even eclipsed the Type R's time of 15.2 seconds at 93 mph.
Overall, although the RSX might not feel quite as responsive as the old GS-R, the new Type-S provides a comfortable balance between extreme sportiness and luxury cruising.
