Its funny cause the first word out of the sales mans mouth were, lets get on the highway and see what she can do.
The one thing that got on my nerves was the clutch. Its alot smoother than my VW. I was mashing that clutch down as if it were a 3000GT VR4 ( if you have ever driven one of those cars you know how hard that clutch pedal is )
I dont like that the engine starts to pick up at almost 5000 rpms. After that it seems pretty quick. The handling is pretty good. Certainly a set of aftermarket struts will make it better.
The test drive was only like 30 minutes since we encountered some traffic heading back to the shop so it was mainly stop and go.
I did like that New Si - Sedan. Seems like the same size as my accord. I couldnt get into it since people were looking at the car and sitting in it.
We didnt really talk figures since I mentioned that im not looking to purchase a car until Mar 07. He understood and gave me his card and told me that this car may not be around by then but, surely we will have some Si's and TSX's.
So as it stands
RSX :down:
note: its a good car if your 5'7. Im mainly discourged because of its small interior.
and no im not fat.
it is a tough squeeze for anyone over 6'
if space is a problem the AV6 coupe with the 6speed can be had for pretty cheap, you just need to do some agressive haggling
