re:2006 Honda Civic Si vs. 2006 Acura RSX-Type S
by nissan350zguy5 - 12/27/06 6:16 PMim in the market to purchase a new vehicle and i have narrowed it down to these two. I just wanted some feedback on which one was better as an overall car. I know people with both cars and they both and very reliable and powerful machines. My main concern with the Civic was its in dash system that is very unique-does any aftermarker company make a replacement for an aftermarket system or could i go to Best Buy or some place like that to get that?-the RSX has a unique in dash system too, but i already know many places that sell aftermarket replacements for it and i know that Best Buy carries it as well-as for the engines, they are both i-vtec engines both made by honda with very little power differnce between them-any feedback would be appreciated
A buddy has the 2007 Civic and would buy again.

Second tank of gas got about 35 MPG so that's a plus.

I'd go for the rsx
by noobtastic09 - 6/10/07 11:23 AM In reply to: re:2006 Honda Civic Si vs. 2006 Acura RSX-Type S by nissan350zguy5Very close in performance due to similar suspension and drivetrain pieces although i believe the rsx is about 100 pounds lighter than the si. And the rsx is an acura in north america so it's obviously more prestige and luxurious than the civic. And concerning the dash systems hondas are the some of the most widely modified cars in the world so there's definitely a company that makes a system for them.
SI vs RSX s
by drkangel650 - 6/16/07 2:26 PM In reply to: re:2006 Honda Civic Si vs. 2006 Acura RSX-Type S by nissan350zguy5Oh this question...
First and above all: Both use very similar transmissions and all the 6 speed honda trannies suffer from having a tendancy to slip out of 3rd. changing the fluid tends to help a bit.
Granted the RSX has a bit more power and a little bit more snappy body and leather options, however, if you intend to modify it the Rsx is a bit better, however if you choose to do your own work be warned that the RSX is a nightmare to work on.
I have a 2007 Civic EX and 2 friends both with 07 SI's. its a larger car and handles better despite not being considered "performance" class such as the RSX.
My father works for an Acura dealer as a tech team leader and he's seen countless RSX come in for repair from things such as loss of control or blown engine/trannies (especially in the 6 speed). The day the RSX production kill was announced he came home happy.
