I bought a red 2006 rsx and have owned it for just under 4 months now. I like the car and it is very fun to drive, hear the low grunt it gives past 6k rpms, the rear end actually can come around giving a little flavor to it, and even get a turned head or two every now and then. But It has been quite problematic considering what it is. A honda. It is a high milege car and a daily driver and i know the things is over a decade old now but the fun factor certainly doesnt compensate for the bs.
There is a light ticking sound coming from the motor itself that you can hear anywhere under 1500k rpms this was already present before i bought the car. About 2 or 3 weeks later i would get a helicopter sound which was LOUD! When reversing into parking spots, turned out to be the metal plate that protects the exhaust just behind the front wheels. It fell off and "fixed" itslef. Then the driver side top window seal was torn badly( see image ) I cant find the part anywhere and i get tons of wind and noise coming in. Shortly after the window itself stopped going up straight and is off track dipping forward leaving a gap in the top rear corner. I get rattles from what is either the front windshield or the speakers/tweeters in the dash. Espicially in the cold weather. The ac is amazing when its working. One minute its fine and the next its just blowing air like a fan. At times some lights do not turn on like, the right ac control dial and the front passenger daytime light. Now I have another loud ticking problem which is probably the heat shield issue. I always here it when idling. ALWAYS! And the sunroof motor is starting to wimp out. Water has leaked into my right tail light as well. I had a 1994 honda accord that I beat the living crap out of before and it took it like a champ. I never had any issues with it and it didnt even rattle. Both cars were high mileage daily drivers, 100% stock with light modification, regular maintenance always done early, 3 to 4k oil changes no cheaping out. Pads, rotors, wheels, fluids, alignment, fuel system cleaning, etc. I feel like im driving an old 7 series or something. At this point I am considering throwing it to the curb. I have no idea if this is just me or if this is common but this i a bit ridiculous.
