Not really a big deal, just probably one of the last sporty reliable cars from Acura. They looked good when the came out and arguably still looks good today. Generation after went more of a luxury direction instead of the sporty with the Type-S.

Not much else has a 286hp V6 and a 6MT option in a roomy and reliable sedan. Probably in the european side theres more to choose from but hey I enjoy waking up every day and knowing my car will start and all I have to do is put gas in it and do oil changes.

To answer the original question, I have the auto right now and it drives fine to me. Its no dual clutch or 6MT but its not unresponsive or reluctant to shift down or anything. No reliability issues reported especially if you do trans fluid changes every so often.
