i'm not that big but 5'10 and i'm totally cramped. anything more than 15 minutes and it was torture. and no i;m not fat either. well a tiny bit . at about 180.

secondly, vtec is a pretty nice feature. if you have a dislike for it, you are openly proclaiming your ignorance and prejudice from the bandwagon.
the seats were quite supportive and sporty. almost aftermarket really. the wheel was very responsive. the gears were nice. shifter and clutch were light. sound system was lame. rear room is lacking. suspension is one of the best. great balance. engine response is nice. it doesnt FEEL fast, but it is. that "low" torque hits early and holds through the rpms. so just because the # isnt high to begin with, doesnt mean its bad. the engine also is really, really nice.
basically, you're paying for a nicer car, minus the sound system and room.

i hate the rev it to hell to get any power from it.
trust me i;ve worked on crap arsed honduhs for many years before i did toyota's.
motorswaps , turbo's , TRUST.
lemme go look up how much a s2k weighs.
ok here's google to the rescue . google link http://www.google.com/search?q=curb+...en-US:official
2835. curb weight.
old honduhs weigh a lot less and sucked without enough torque to me.
these things aren't heavy but for a honduh they are. and if you're comparing it;s weight to teh tc's . yeah the tc is a PIG and a half. no cheap fwd car should weigh that much but the tc does.
imo honduhs are good for one or two things. basically both involve older smaller cars with motorswaps and forced induction.
engine is ok. shifter is very nice . very nick nick .
even the newer s2k's with the higher displacement less rpms more torque to me is not enough for the car. the older ones with even less torque even less so.

though, your problem with s2k is that you dont have the power off the line of other high torque cars. then again, honda never claims to have off the line power. that car is a monster on the track. not at the drag strip.

2900 light? for a cheap small , 2 door ? no . not in my book. 2700 yeah i'd give you that . 2900? nah.
no my problem with honda is i don't like lift motors and they choose to employ them . and not just make a lift motor but make lift motors with hardly any power until you hit lift. 2zz is the same way.
the new generation of valve timing and valve lift adjustement is gradual power while still getting the same if not better top end as a plain jane lift motor with no torque and little to no mid range.

i would choose a rsx-s over the tc anyday... well thats not completely true, i would choose an rsx-s engine and tranny over the tC's engine and tranny any day.
now if i can afford it, which one day i shall do.. i would love to have a K20 with a comptech supercharger IN a tC.
im sure the swap wouldnt be that hard, since the engine is a little smaller than the tC's and im sure it would fit with a little bit of fabrication.
i think in terms of comfort, dash layout, and overall looks i like the tC more, im saying that because my sister has an rsx so i know a little bit about them, and i would choose the tC anyday.
the only reason that i am in love with the k20 found in the rsx-s is because of its high revving 8.5k redlinin engine, and six speed tranny.

as much as i hate honda and such I like the rsx-s. i really do. good times. stock it'd probably be unsatisfying for me but modded ones that i've driven. oodles of noodles like fun!

vtec isn't what kills mpg it's the high revving associated with it.

i understand what i'm saying is . with a vtec motor it's either dead as a dog or screaming down the road. no middle of the road.
c-mon man stick with me.
a complete dog untill about 4k then it snaps to life there is no gradual power rise. it has a very sharp , very late powerband.
i like more linear power but that's just me.
