I'll agree with the Miata vote

Default I own a S2K...and would agree that while the s2k has shorter, more precise

shifts, the RSX is a bit "smother"

Oh yeah, I think Honda makes the best shifter in the world, no the universe!

It might be hard for some people here to swallow, but Honda tranny's are superior.

Default No, no, Honda is not a 'luxury' brand so it has to be trash :)

Weird thing is that it puts to shame so many uper brands when it comes to manual trannys, not to mention reliability and service :P.

Someday these people will get to try a better tranny and wonder how in the world they accepted any less .

Default I dunno... those with an Audi manual couldn't be stuck up.

Sad thing is that they had the chance to fix this, yet they're still
getting knocked on shift feel in the new A4 too. Come on, guys...

Default if it's anything like my wife's GSR it is a dream to shift...

wish the S4's box was similar.

maybe so, but it's surrounded by a soul-less piece of rice crap.

Default Owned 2 GS-Rs...

...a '94 and a '97. Might still be in one, if the 19-year-old, backwards-baseball-cap riceheads hadn't hijacked the model and spoiled it for the rest of us. Loved the transmissions -- better than any other car I've owned. I imagine the RSX-S is just as good, with 20% more gear ratios.

My '94 GS-R had a beautifully smooth shifting tranny - even when cold.
