Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

High-revving Type-S engine, plenty of standard equipment, nimble handling.

Cons

Modest torque output, tight rear-seat headroom.

What’s new

For 2004, the RSX receives heated sideview mirrors as standard equipment.

Edmunds says

With an overall feeling of refinement, and exemplary steering, Acura's RSX is a car you can drive to work every day and still cut loose in over the weekend.

Mistake to stop producing RSX's!

ratty, 05/11/2010

2004 Acura RSX Type-S 2dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 6M)

This has been a great car, very reliable, fun to drive! Don't know why Acura stopped making this model? Would buy another in a flash.

Love this car!

2004 Acura RSX Type-S 2dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 6M)

I owned this car for 8 years and loved it. Such a great value for a car with all of the main luxury items you would want. I never had any major mechanical problems and always had fun driving this even though it was a stick and I lived in LA. Had to trade it in for a more family friendly car last year, but still miss driving it!

One Sweet Ride!

2004 Acura RSX 2dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 5A)

Great to drive...anywhere. Big trunk space for a coupe, I was able to move furniture and a 24' TV. Great handling on turns, Love that the radio faces more to the driver. Excellent gas milage...LA to Las Vegas in 3/4 of the tank. Looks like a rocket all my friends love my car. I got mine for 20K.

Super reliable

2004 Acura RSX 2dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 5A)

Owned a base 2004 RSX for 167k and had minimal problems with it. Ownership has been painless and low cost. At 167k the engine is still strong, the transmission (auto) is slowly showing signs of wear but I think it has another 30-40k in it. Just great engineering.
