    This is the best car Ive ever owned. And Ive gone though 15 cars in my life.

    Its too bad there wasnt a better registration system for being able to write a review. The people that give this car really bad marks probably dont even own one. Most of them are probably Subaru WRX fanboys (and they probably dont own one of those either.) The RSX Premium (Canadian model) is a fantastic value. I love our car...

    What an amazing car. I am in love with this thing. Words are a waste of time. You have to go drive it.

  • Youll love this car!!! - 2002 Acura RSX

    This car is addictive. I have been test driving cars for 6 months, and I didnt test drive this one right away because the review ("sport coup comparason") in Edmonds said there was some rear suspension problem. Well there isnt, at all, I dont know what they were taliking about. Anyway, I test drove Lexus IS 400, BMW 330i, Nissan spec V, Suburu WRX, and some others, and this was easily the most fun to drive, and some of those others were almost twice the price, HA! In fact, this is the most fun car I have ever driven (and my last two cars were a 1999 Ford Mustang Cobra and a 1997 BMW 540i) Anyway, just test drive it, youll see, its awesome!

    I test drove the RSX last week expecting to fall in love with it. It didnt happen. I thought the handling was above average even at higher speeds. It looks great inside and out. The 4cyl. performance was quite decent. Overall I have to say that its a nice toy. On the other hand the visibility is horrible, the seats are uncomfortable as the lumbar support is too prominent and the seat itself (not the back) is too short for taller people. I also didnt care for the layout of the controls.

    This is the car to get if you think the new Civic SI looks like a Mini-Mini-Van.

  • How I Love My RSX!! - 2002 Acura RSX

    This car is phenomenal, I would sincerely recommend this automobile to anyone who is in the market...There is ample space for at least 4 and plenty of cargo room. As far as performance, it has exceeded my expectations daily. There is no car in its class that comes close in comparisons, PERIOD!!

    You can not go wrong with this car. They only reason to not get it is because you are not fond of its appearance.

  • Great car! - 2002 Acura RSX
    By -

    I have put 18,000 miles on my 2002 base over 2 years, and it is still a blast to drive! Handling is excellent, great shifter. Yes there are cars out there that are faster, and cars that are more luxusious, but for the price, this car delivers both performance and style It is great being able to drive it normally and have a great daily driver, getting over 30 mpg, but have a 7K RPM redline in reserve when you want to punch it! The interior is well laid out. Overall (performance, price, reliability), this car compares well against the competition: Celica, Eclipse, GTI, WRX, Mini- Cooper, Tiburon.
