Had a '93 integra 2 yrs. ago, loved it, crashed it, got a new eclipse,wanted an acura but got sucked into the 'triple zero' deal, loved it, crashed it (neither accident my fault, my luck sucks!), finally got a '02 RSX, silver, high spoiler, the works. Only complaint, the stereo could be louder, and road noise is annoying(but I knew that and it didn't deter me. Herb Chambers sucks at cust. service, never gets back to you when they say, (i had some issues and it took months to resolve) once they had my money (19950.00 CASH) they don't wanna know you. But I love my car!

Acura needs to fix transmission problem

I just traded in my RSX-S (9700 miles) and was glad to do it. Ever since I bought the car I have had transmission problems with grinding from 1st to 2nd and with 2nd to 3rd gears. Sometimes I was unable to get 3rd gear to engage without forcing it into gear. I then contacted the dealership for warranty repair for the problem and they would not fix it. They stated the problem was not bad enough and had to completely fail and strand me in the middle of no where, before they would fix it. Over all the rest of the vehicle is well built, but I would suggest dont buy one until Acura can fix the transmission problems or buy a used Integra.

After all the positive reviews and my old car dying, I purchased one. I am almost 100% satisfied with it. 200hp is a lot for a 4 cylinder but more companies are coming close to that and there are many v6 and v8's out there that will outrun even the Type S. Insurance is sky high on this car, a little fact I wish I had known prior to buying. It's very fun to drive, the cockpit is designed well, all buttons in reach and easy to use. Love the 6- disc in dash cd player. I have yet to get the factory suggested mpg though.

Tranmission Grinds

This is a great car that is fun to drive, but the transmission sucks! The six speed transmission has major design flaws that Acura refuses to acknowledge. The transmission starting griding the day I took it from the dealer. Two months later they totally rebuild then transmission then two months after that they replaced the transmission. Nothing seems to help, except the warm weather this time of year. I am just waiting for the return of winter and the continuing problem with grinding.

its good at about 65 in the snow nad ice, nice top speed, good acceloration..the red lights for dash are annoying, would suggest a button that changes the dash lighting from blue to green and such otherwise nice ride.
