The truth

2003 Acura RSX 2dr Hatchback w/Leather (2.0L 4cyl 5A)

I recently bought an RSX premium. I'm satisfied with the comfort and the sportiness. Leather, heated seats and AC system are really usefull/good. My friends all like it. The car is easy to park. Some friends comment on the lack of base in the sound system, the difficulty of access and the lack of head room in the back seats (oh well). The engine purrs nicely, the AT trans. seems to shift at 3000+rpm meening accel is not that fast. In TripManual it's better but still not amazingly fast off the mark. maybe I'm expacting too much from a 4 cyl. Other than those little things, everything kicks ass in the RSX.

Have you every owned something that was an absolute joy every single time you used it? For most of us, without a fat bankroll, this is not usually the case. For me this was true until I had this car. The RSX is a dream come true and whenever I drive another car it's a bummer.

Good car for price

Owned car for approx. 1 month now. Love driving it. Very fun, and more powerful than I originally expected. Don't compare this car to a Porsche or M3 or something silly like that... It's a fun to drive, everyday vehicle that gives great gas mileage, and has fantastic build quality measuring up to much more expensive automobiles.

The reason why I bought the RSX is it combines looks, functionality, and price. It's handling is pretty good. However it's not phenomenal The RSX has very good accelaration for a 4 cylinder auto. Either manuamatic or the D3 function is more than enough to jet around town and merge onto Socal freeways. The ride quality is poor. You can feel every little bump on the road and any dip or divot is very pronounced. The fold down seats and hatch are very useful. But it's a bit disconserting to hear your purchases slide around in the back. The height of an open hatch could cause a problem for people under 5'6.

5 years and no regrets

I bought my RSX right after I graduated from college. It was essentially a present to myself for securing a decent paying job. Five years later, I still absolutely love my car and wouldn't trade it with anyone. I'll probably have it for at least another 5 years. The cost of ownership is insanely low; in five years I've only replaced the tires and brakes. With 3-4 oil changes per year, my car has treated me right.
