My daily driver is a 95 Civic Coupe with 1.6 SOHC VTEC engine. Buzzes to 8,000 RPM which is flat out addicting.

42 miles per gallon at 60 mph 38 mpg at 80. 30 mpg around town. Quarters in 15.4 and 0-60 in 8 seconds with the 4.40 gears.

LOTS OF FUN. And it handles great too. At 2650 lbs it is a wonderfully balanced sports car.

The RSX is what I want for my next driver. I have been studying and 275 horsepower is easy. Expect over 300 with turbo or supercharger or NOS.

With its superior weight and superior numbers in parasitic horsepower loss, it would CREAM a modern 4.6 Cobra.
