I had placed an order for a 2002 RSX-S (Arctic blue) last year, but I cancelled it because the wait was too long. After riding in a few, driving a few and buying my Type-R, I feel I made the right choice for me.

It's VERY responsive, quick like a mother & turns WAY more heads than an RSX.

The RSX is comfortable, refined, heavy & has sketchy tires & 4x4 ride height. Not to mention the McPherson (sp?) suspension, which would account for a lack of aftermarket shocks & springs.
