i kinda understand the "feeling" you get from driving hondas all your life. when i step into a non-honda it feels weird. like when i drove a 5.0 cobra, the shifter felt funny, the clutch was weird, and it was hard to see through the rear view mirror and blind spots. plus the interior felt bulky.

i wouldnt trust mazda IMO. ive had too many bad experiences with them

Hmmm...it looks like the price of $23,900 includes the factory performance package.

This will give me the spoiler, titanium interior, body kit, better suspension, and better brakes. Hmmmm....this could be very interesting.

If Dodge and Mazda doesn't step up to the plate soon...I might be an RSX-S owner in 2 weeks

I think you accidently said "dodge" (that's illegal in some states)

TypeR240

And remember, the factory performance package puts all those upgrades under factory warranty!

get the wrx

Yeap.....considering most of those parts are Acura parts anyway. Although I don't know what type of springs and brakes they will be using.

Ah....here we go

This is info on the Factory Performance package

Factory Performance package is nice, the cost is a bit high, yet I think it is acceptable. But they ask anyone who purchase this Factory Performance package to install in the dealer and that cost a lot. Personally I think it is a total rip off. You could save a lot by buying other aftermarket parts and install yourself or by some shop. Basically I think they should include an intake and the ECU with this package.

True that....but it's cool that Honda is recognizing the needs of us "tuners"

Anyway, I don't like the shopping cart spoiler and I can careless about the lower springs and the rims...I might just get it with the body kit and the titanium interior.

Titanium kit is really nice, I wanted to get them as well. Stock Acura underbody kits look decent, but I prefer the type R rear lip plus the type R wing, they are almost perfect combo. Notice that Mugen Type R didn't changed the rear under spoiler. I mean they spend a lot of time and money tuning the aerodynamic on it and didn't change it, apparently it's not just for looks. My future replacement for body kits will be ings+ front bumper, type R rear lip, Mugen / or Veilside aero hood.
