Peaky engine out of sorts with premium character

Date of Review:  May 13, 2003
The Bottom Line: I am conflicted on this car. It exceeds expectations in so many ways only to have the engine disappoint in normal driving.
Review: My sister owned one of the first generation Integras, a 1989 if memory serves. The reviews were good, but I personally found the car cramped, noisy, and insubstantial feeling. Integras grew more refined over the years, but never seemed suited to a...

My First Car...An Acura RSX Type S!!!

Date of Review:  May 17, 2005
The Bottom Line: Buy it! It's worth every penny you'll spend!
Review: It's crazy I know...but I'm lovin it!!! I'm 18. I bought/was given, a 2003 Acura RSX-S with about 38000 miles on it. Got it for 17 grand. It's got a modded air intake system, charcoal gray rims...loaded. I'm a web developer, and I closed a deal with...

Very fun daily driver (Type-S)

Date of Review:  Mar 1, 2007
The Bottom Line: Perfect for the daily driver that wants to look forward to driving home.
Review: POWER (Type-S)
Compared to the average 4-banger, the engine rocks. Power delivery is very smooth and linear. Passing at any speed is predictable and confidence inspiring. If you are used to a six or eight cylinder engine, it will take some...

2003 Type S Another Excellent Honda Product, WOW!!!

Date of Review:  Nov 9, 2004
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend the Type S, because it delivers on every promise to perform (and that it does well)
Review: I must say up front that this is a very biased review. I've owned 2 Honda products (accord & prelude) and 1 Acura Integra. The RSX Type S is my 4th Honda product and by far the best. It is a real blast to drive and provides a fun factor well above...

The Base RSX - A Review for the Young (at Heart)

Date of Review:  Sep 1, 2004
The Bottom Line: The best value for your dollar available right now. Use the extra loots to turn this car into a beast.
Review: First of all, I am a huge Toyotaphile. I normally hate Honda and consider them "the enemy". About a year ago, my girlfriend got an RSX despite my numerous objections. What can I say? This car blew me away. The RSX is beautifully sleek, unbelievably...

RSX Type-S = Best in Class

Date of Review:  Mar 30, 2003
The Bottom Line: The Acura RSX Type-S has the best blend of good looks, refinement, performance, and price out of all the cars I was considering and I highly recommend it.
Review: Background:
The Acura RSX came out in 2002 as the replacement for the Integra. Currently there are two models available, the base model with either 5-speed automatic w/sportshift or 5-speed manual and the Type-S model with a 6-speed manual...

Why Do Good Things Come To An End?

Date of Review:  Dec 5, 2007
The Bottom Line: Saying that this car is the best car ever would be an understatement.
Review: My first Acura I ever bought was my 2003 Acura RSX Base (Not Type-S). Previously, I have been an avid Honda fan and I decided that it was time I try Honda's upper-end vehicles, an Acura. What brought me to the Acura RSX was it's sleek and stylish...

Fun but not always comfortable

Date of Review:  Sep 22, 2005
Review: I have owned the following cars: Gremlin X, Mustang Cobra with a 350cu inch engine, 355 gears etc. BMW 325i, Toyota supercharged MR2, Volvo 850R. This is how the 2003 RSX Type S after driving it for more than a year fits in. (And don't ask why I'm...

2003 Acura RSX TYPE S

Date of Review:  Nov 13, 2006
The Bottom Line: Overall great design with minor complaints... I would recommend this car to anyone who can outright buy one. And if u finance get a used one with lox kms.
Review: I purchased my 2003 RSX TYPE-S November 12 2006. I choose the color blue without the spoiler. The car had aftermarket clear tailights already installed and they actually look natural. The Acura has 45000kms, was garage kept and lady driven. the car...

RSX Type S

Date of Review:  Apr 11, 2005
The Bottom Line: Look at the 2005 V6 Mustang & the Subaru WRX in addition to this. The insurance is cheaper. Sports cars should not come in FWD.
Review: The Acura RSX Type S is a fascinating vehicle. Somehow, engineers managed to squeeze 200hp out of a motor that is only 2 liters in displacement. In doing so, the engineers also managed to get a vehicle that could get 34 mpg on the highway and has...
