LOL If you look at the last turn it takes it seems like it never stops bouncing. I guess honda is still happy with its crazy loose dampers.

The US versions usually still get the rear drum brakes...wouldn't expect discs until 2012 at the earliest...if at all...

no thanks. the mugen fit looks way better in my book. i really don't see the point on even putting a 6mt on this car, why will you want a mt over auto in a car less than 200hp... better yet less than 100whp car.

If they put a k20 in the fit, then yes 6mt will make much more sense.

Notice the RS doesn't get the front nor rear armrest.

On one of the RS's interior pics, what is that round orange button thing in the passenger foot well?

Though I like the RS's aggressive splitter and other unique pieces, it's too boy racer for my tastes

Japanese, and I believe Euro models have always had rear discs. Lots more competition within their segment in other markets.

Yes rear discs standard on the RS, it is not new. That is not a button, it is a road flare.

To the poster saying a MT is not needed and automatic makes more sense, your logic is flawed, if anything low horsepower, small engined cars benefit greatly from a MT over a AT. The 6MT will help in that the RS can retain a tad of quickness and lower the rpms for a quieter highway drive.
