Review
I have put 18,000 miles on my 2002 base
over 2 years, and it is still a blast
to drive! Handling is excellent, great
shifter. Yes there are cars out there
that are faster, and cars that are more
luxusious, but for the price, this car
delivers both performance and style
It is great being able to drive it
normally and have a great daily driver,
getting over 30 mpg, but have a 7K RPM
redline in reserve when you want to
punch it! The interior is well laid
out.
Overall (performance, price,
reliability), this car compares well
against the competition: Celica,
Eclipse, GTI, WRX, Mini-
Cooper, Tiburon.

i love my RSX. its a great car. i used
to drive from toledo to detroit
everyday, so my RSX now has almost
78000 miles. it runs perfect, and have
only had to do minor maintence, except
for some transmission wear issues.
when the original air filter was
dirty, i replaced it with an Injen
Short Ram air intake system which
really helped the car out. it sounds
excellent, but city mileage has
decreased slightly. the car is plenty
quick at the top end, but low-end
torque is lacking. more displacement
would be great, as well as a screw-
type supercharger. i also have energy
suspension motor mount inserts that
really helped the wheel hop problem.

I found the RSX to be very unassuming.
It didn't look excessively showy or
overly flashy. I really liked that,
kind of like a wolf in sheep's
clothing... I swore I'd never own a
Honda product, even though they have an
excellent reputation. An Acura was as
close as I could bring myself to a
Honda. The car is a blast to drive, it
makes even the most mundane errand
enjoyable. Insurance is high on this
car, but when you factor in the shear
delight you will get from driving the
RSX, it suddenly seems worth the added
expense!

I recently purchased a 2002 Acura RSX
base model was let me tell you its the
best car that I've ever invested in. The
car has an awsome exterior design,
comfortable and sporty interior and an
power train that is sure to satisfy even
the harshest critics. This vehicle
deffinately turns heads (esp w/the
ladies) the 2 12" subs, and the Acura
dealer installed Comptech Catback
Exhaust system aid in that...I love this
car and I'll be sure to have it for a
long time to come.

I give the RSX Two Thumbs up for
safety. I unfortunately was involved
in a car accident and totaled my RSX.
I walked away with minor Whiplash. I
impacted the center median at over 60
miles per hour almost straight on, and
there was NO cabin damage. In most
cars I would have had an engine where
my knees were. It’s a very safe car.

Fun, Fast way to get to work. Travel
over 25 miles (one way) and average 27
to 30 MPG, and that's 65 to 80 mph. On
trips average 33 to 35 MPG traveling 75
to 80 mph. Not bad when you consider
the performance of 200 HP. 2.0 liter
engine and it's still a LEV vehicle.
Acura reliability. No service issues
with 31,000 miles.

The RSX Type S just rocks!
Comfortable (and I'm 6'4"), smooth,
dead reliable, fast, quasi-luxurious,
and waaay fun to drive. I've driven
this car for 2 yrs and it's just as
fun now as the day I bought it. Nits
(?)...it's undertired. She needs 17-
18" wheels and 225ZR40 skinz to bring
out her best. Other than that, a very
hard car to beat at its price point.

Bought the Type S. Had the car for
almost 2 years now, put about 24
thousand miles on it and never had a
problem so far(knock on wood). The car
has a tight stick, tight steering, and
great acceleration. I would recommend
this car to anyone who wants an
affordable quick coupe with some style
but if your looking for something
roomier check out the Mazda 6 but its
still no Acura. Plenty of room for a
single guy or girl.
