1st Place: 2006 Acura RSX
Combined EPA Fuel Economy: 28 mpg
Powertrain: 2.0 liter, 4 cyl., 5-AT
Luxurious only in name, the useful and fun 2006 Acura RSX tops the list of small upscale automobiles. Stylish, reliable, and wearing a luxury badge, the RSX is worthy of consideration if you’re not looking for premium materials and a refined driving experience. This car is a bit loud and raucous, though impeccably assembled. If real luxury is what you want, the new Lexus IS 250 slots in right behind the Acura.
