The good:
Efficient power production from i-VTEC engine; superior handling; decent sound system.
The bad:
Occasional front-drive dartiness; lack of technology offerings; vestigial rear seats.
The bottom line:
The Acura RSX Type-S makes the most of its technologically advanced engine, but it lacks gadgetry in the cabin.
