Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Awesome gas-mileage (30 average). Great handling. Versatility. Super reliable. Absolute blast to drive. 
Cons: No heated seats, no power seats. 
The Bottom Line: To sum up my review, I Highly recommend this vehicle and take my hat off to Acura for building a reliable, fun, and overall pleasurable vehicle to own and drive.

I've actually had the pleasure to personally own one of these fine vehicles, and here's my un-biased opinion on it. In stock form the car was perfect for the average Joe. It was slightly underpowered for my liking, so I had an aftermarket ...

Had it for years and I want to get rid of it.

Jan 21 '08 - Updated Jan 23 '08 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Sporty, reasonably priced and fun to drive.
Cons: Blind spots, hard to get in and out of, high rated (bad for insurance).
The Bottom Line: I like driving it but I am very petite. It is just not a useful car overall. Good for a loner who doesn't give rides.

I guess things have changed in my life in the last year. My Acura RSX was suitable for my life style years ago but as time goes on, I don't really want this car anymore. Don't get me wrong, this car is fun to drive, easy to control and sporty. If you ...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Great driving pleasure, amazing looking, reasonably priced for the features
Cons: Would have liked more power (HP)
The Bottom Line: Acura looks chic, perfect for youngsters and provides great driving pleasure

I was in my grad school when I first noticed Acura Integra which seemed like a pretty impressive and a trendy car. Two years later when I joined my first job in 2001, I saw an other Acura which according to me seemed more eye-catcy. That car indeed was ...

Loved It

by jreview
Jun 18 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Fun, sporty, fast, looks great.
Cons: Bumpy ride, not enough storage in the front. Expensive insurance and fuel. Expensive to repair.
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a fun, reliable car, this is a great car for you. But look elsewhere for young drivers or if you need a family car.

I owned an Acura RSX for 5 years. It was recently destroyed in an accident. Unfortunately Acura is no longer making the RSX, but if you are in the market for a used car, the RSX is one to consider. I owned the base model, automatic. I didn't add any ...

Acura's luxury sport coupe - fast and fun

by i64x
May 14 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: 200hp iVTEC engine, 30 miles per gallon, race-inspired seats, signature Honda quality
Cons: Service may be expensive, requires premium fuel
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car to anyone. Interior quality, craftsmanship, value, and reliable performance in its class are unbeatable.

Honda has done it again... as the Acura Integra took it's final bow in the US in 2001, the Acura RSX came nipping at its heels as a very worthy replacement. The 200hp Acura RSX Type-S is Honda's answer to the late Integra Type-R. It features an all new ...

4 years later, the 2002 RSX still compares well to new cars!

by kingtj
Feb 01 '06 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Great handling, good performance, great value for the dollar
Cons: Flaky side airbag sensor, factory stereo is garbage
The Bottom Line: Well-designed car that's fun to drive. Absolutely recommend it if you're looking at cars like a Hyundai Tiberon, Ford Mustang, Eclipse, used Mazda RX-8, etc.

I've been toying with the idea of trading in my SUV for a while now, and getting another sports car or sporty car. (In the past, I've owned 2 different generations of Toyota Supras, a '98 Trans-Am, a Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T, and even a Pontiac Fiero SE ...

Driving is Ecstasy!

by overun
Jan 04 '06 - Updated Jan 06 '06 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: excellent power, iVTEC, handling, styling, interior appointments, shifter feel
Cons: 3rd gear pop out, no center armrest, weak stereo w/ poor bass
The Bottom Line: If you love sporty cars and enjoy a thrilling ride experience: BUY THIS CAR!!

UPDATE: I have had this car for about a week now, and there are a few things I'd like to update. If you haven't read the review yet, go ahead and skip this. This car gets decent gas mileage for a sporty car, I averaged 25mpg, doing probably 60/40 ...

Fun to drive and affordable sports car

by attydcb
Nov 15 '05 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: How it looks, how it drives, quality of Acura, great car for the money
Cons: The stereo (easily upgraded), no armrest, seats could be a little more comfortable
The Bottom Line: I would highly recommend this car, as I don't think there is a better sportscar for the same price.

I recently bought a 2002 RSX Type S, and I am very happy with it. I find myself looking forward to the next time I "get" to drive. I searched long and hard for a new (used) car. My last two vehicles were SUV's, and I was looking for something fun to ...

Love my new RSX

by nikki_q
Jul 25 '05 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Interior fit and finish, styling, many standard features, safety, handling
Cons: in-dash changer not available on base model, stock tires stink
The Bottom Line: I researched this purchase thoroughly, and the RSX is far superior to any car in its price range. I love the combination of luxury and sport features, all standard.

I have driven a '93 probe for five years, and was ready for a new ride. My probe was running fine, but the interior was falling apart around me - just about every plastic part had broken off at one point or another. I decided to look for a nice, ...

Excellent sports coupe with very little flaw

by outsider33
Jan 08 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Handling, Fuel economy, Interior finish
Cons: Ride quality, Rear visibility, Power
The Bottom Line: Excellent car a good price. Rock solid quality. Buy the Type S if you have the need for speed. Be prepared for very harsh ride.

I purchased the 2002 RSX Premium with manual 5 speed in September. Below is my impression of the care after 4 months of ownership.

First I need to explain the reason I picked the RSX premium over other cars in the market. After driving my old...

Acura RSX Premium, 2002

Bye Integra, Hello RSX.

It took Acura quite a while but they have finally replaced the Integra with a new model. The new Acura is called the RSX.
