 This is a car that can run with an RSX 
at Civic dx prices.  Build quality is 
very good.  Styling is understated 
(read not all riced out) compared to 
it's class.  The power/weight ratio, 
suspension upgrades, and good seats 
make driving something to look foreward 
to. Steering is precise with good 
feedback, brakes are more fade 
resistant than most and easy to 
modulate at the limit.  I appreciate 
the limited slip diff., especially with 
all that torque. From a performance 
standpoint it is among the better sport 
compacts, but it lacks the refined and 
intuitive driving feel of some Mazda 
and Honda products, but then it costs a 
lot less.
