    Car is amazingly fun.

  • Reliable, Fun Car - 2002 Acura RSX
    By -

    Have owned many cars, but owning this car has been one of the best experiences Ive had yet. It has worked flawlessly, is fun to drive (5 sp), and gets great mileage on reg gas (29 mpg avg, 34 on trips). Only complaint is excessive road noise - only a problem at freeway speeds. Engine and wind noise are minimal.

  • All I can say is WOW! - 2002 Acura RSX
    By -

    This car is an absolute joy to drive. It has a real nice zip to it, especially when you hit v-tec. It handles like a dream, and the 6-speed transmission (Type-S) shifts like butter. Ive had this car for 3 weeks, and so far I dont have anything negative to say about it. The dealership experience was great! I didnt have to haggle much on the price, and was in and out in less than 2 hours. It was by far the best car buying experience I have ever had.

  • Perfect Car!! - 2002 Acura RSX
    By -

    Everything about the car is perfect. The cars small so the 160 HP is definately enough. It accelerates fast so you wont have any problems getting into Highways, etc. It handles perfectly and the small steering wheel makes it even easier to handle. The Red Dashboard Lights look really nice but guess thats a matter of an opinion. The engine has a really nice sound (not too loud or soft). I find the seats comfortable and I received compliments from many people on its looks. I definately reccomend this car.

  • Amazing car - 2002 Acura RSX

    Amazing car for the price. Great handling, the best shifter, responsive brakes, broad torque band, and tons of features included automatically. I am having loads of fun driving it, and I am not even out of the break-in period yet! The seats (firm) take a little getting used to. The styling is a bit bland admittedly, but I am already getting over that. Complaints about the stereo system are unfounded in my opinion, unless you like to really blast the music.

  • RSX S - 2002 Acura RSX

    Ive had the car for 16 months and it is everything that the reviews said and more! I am especially thrilled with the quality of the interior. The BOSE sound system is the best Ive heard for a stock stereo. A little road noise but what a great ride. I will soon be buying a 350 Z but will miss my RSX-S as I will likely sacrifice interior styling and sound system quality for pure speed. I considered the Hyundai Tiburon but after three test drives of each I made the decision to go with the RSX-S based on the interior and resale value (and the ACURA name). Also I just couldnt see myself in a "Hyundai." After owning the car for over a year I cant believe I

  • Best bang for you buck - 2002 Acura RSX
    By -

    Not only is this car the most fun car to drive, but it is a great value. For just about $20K you get every option available. The automatic has a sportshift standard that gives you the option of driving in regular mode, or switching to auto-stick. Overall a great car.
