They have great parts, and bad parts. The worst is the horrible steering feel (not it's precision, but feel) and the best was the trans. Engine was good too but it wasn't my favorite Honda engine. Aero was horrific also...

i never had an issue with the steering, then again i wasn't racing on a track, just some twisty roads, the trans, good god i love that transmission. nothing compares that i've driven.
