The RSX (that I whipped around corners and that fit like a "driver's glove" on me) seems small and compact compared to the Z. I swear, the Z drives like a tank compared to it ! It's hard to explain. I mean, we don't go out and LIFT our cars off the ground but something feels so HEAVY about the Z. Compared to the RSX. I'm really going to miss that car !!!
Well the Z is a physically bigger and heavier car.

Congrats on your purchase. Hopefully you end up liking red. I know it's a love-hate relationship with me. I love it one day, hate it the next.

Blue is my fav color, but not smurf blue, so I got red... the color I hate.

Thanks for the reply.

My wife's RSX is a beautiful deep metallic blue. I could have taken that. But, looking at my siggy pic, I really should lay off the silver/graphite colors. That would have been the third one... LOL. And I had the red CRX for about 20 years so...

Yeah, it's heavier but looking at the two cars side-by-side in the garage, the RSX "looks" bigger. Higher off the ground and just as long. The Z should weigh about 600 more pounds. LOL...I remember reading here about someone who drove the new mustang after driving their Z and called the mustang a tank ! Guess I should be glad I didn't opt for THAT one !

I think that was me. It feels like a tank compared to the Z as there's so much more chassis movement. That's not to say it doesn't drive well -- it just doesn't feel as nimble or as tight as the Z!

Yeah, THAT'S the word to describe it. Nimble. Right now, the RSX I had just whipped around corners. Scared my wife...LOL. And it "felt" light (nimble). I dunno, hard to describe.

As you said, I'll get used to it.
