Hey,

It may seem small, but the fact that the RSX doesn't have an armrest is keeping me from buying it.

It's an important detail you know.

What are your thoughts?

 

[Phoenix20]

I don't even use mine(as far as resting my arm on it). I didn't even notice the RSX didn't have one.

 

[cloud7]

no I don't use an armrest... you should keep both hands on the steering wheel whenever possible.

 

[RSX-S]

If thats keeping you from buying the car then thats your loss...

 

[cloud7]

yeah, the RSX is a great car... even without the armrest

I had mines for little over 7months and yeah at first it did bother me but now I do not even notice, funny thing I have a buddy with 2000 integra and he made a list of things on RSX he didn't like and the armrest was one of them (everytime he wants to go and trade-in he looks at the list)

I bet it would bother all of you if you took a long trip.

It looks like you could plug one in that narrow slot next to the driver's seat in thte console.

I guess if you took a long trip it might be a bit of a hassle not to have one. Then again, if you have a lot of road in front of you, you could get some spirited driving in, and wouldn't have time for the armrest... JMO.

Sounds like you never drove through Kansas. Spirited driving is a non-issue

Nope I haven't... Why is that?

 

[gotsol]

Flat 500 miles of NOTHING, except tumble weed and lot's of cops

Seriously, I dreed driving through Kansas. In fact, I sold my VTEC del Sol just so I wouldn't have to drive it to Atlanta when I move there next month.

If you get too comfortable, you're taking away from the whole driving experience j/k

you can custom build an armrest if all else fails

$23,000 for a new Acura luxury sports car and I'm hacking in a homemade armrest!!!

 

[gotsol]

BMW and Acura ( I hate to say it and no flames intended) are apples to oranges.

Sorry, BMW's only real competition is MB

I would say that the BMW 3-series Coupe is closest in terms of the driving experience to RSX Type S... I think Honda has worked hard to make sure that.

If you haven't already, drive both cars and you'll see what I mean.

 

[gotsol]

I think the CL type-s is what Acura has going up against the 3 series.

In a way yeah, the CL Type S competes with the 3-series in terms of price... but really the 3-series is about the size of the RSX.

Gosh, if you want comfort, just lean the damn seat all the way back... Set the cruise... Put your knee on the wheel and go to sleep. It's straight road ain't it?

you guys are bastards

I had a GS-R with a armrest/storage compartment. I miss the extra storage but, like Tom it sort of bothered me in the begining but now I don't even notice.
