  Not what I expected - 2002 Acura RSX
  By aspen9120 - January 5 - 4:39 pm

  This is my first Acura and I was buying it for the quality, both in reliability and solidity, but Ive been disappointed in both. With under 50,000 miles Ive already had two sensors go out, both of which were extremely expensive (think 10x more than other cars Ive had!). The other complaint I have is with the noise level. I really expected this car to be solid as a rock and it was when I bought it in the summer. In the winter the dashboard sounds like it may fall off whenever I hit a bump. This seems to be a common problem with owners though Acura has never heard of it. I really had high hopes for this little car and maybe I was just unlucky.

  Great - 2002 Acura RSX
  By TimO - December 27 - 10:00 am

  After researching similar cars in this class, I decided to go with the Acura RSX. The design is sporty and yet conservative and elegant. The automatic transmission is reponsive and gives shifts with necessary power when climbing steep hills. The sports shift mode is great, if you want to drive the engine and override the manual transmission. The sound system is clear and crisp (it doesnt have that distorted mid range bass that some cars have or ear piercing highs). So far Ive gotten excellent gas mileage though im still breaking the car in so I havent hit VTEC yet. Overall a good investment.

  I Love this car! - 2002 Acura RSX
  By RSX2002chicago - December 8 - 9:03 pm

  I bought my car new on October 8th, 2001. To date I have had only 1 problem with the car and that was a faulty O2 sensor at 79,000 miles. Thats it. Everything else has been routine maintenance( fluid flushes, filters, brakes, wipers). This car has been so reliable. Ive driven it to Texas and back and in the mountains in Colorodo near Longmont/ Estes park and back to Chicago. This car is super reliable. Handling is great. Steering feel is perfect. You cut the wheel and the car responds instantly. Perfectly weighted steering. Fuel economy is 30s highway, 24 to 26 city. Drops to 17 to 19 in the winter (idling/warm up).

  Great Engine - 2002 Acura RSX
  By Bison - November 20 - 10:00 am

  This is probably one of the best 2.0 liter engine in the world. Even with an automatic it has enough power to move the car, and its smooth until you get close to the redline. Unfortunately, Im to big to fit under the standard sunroof. I spent about an hour in one, but finally decided it was a no go due to the lack of headroom.

  Very pleased with my RSX-S - 2002 Acura RSX
  By vanderskills - November 8 - 4:46 pm

  This car is a whole lot of fun for the money. It handles very well and the engine sounds great (especially when the vtec kicks in). The interior is very nice and the stereo sounds pretty good too. The Type S has every available feature standard and in my opinion it is the nicest sports coupe available for ~23k. Highly recommended!

  Absolutely LOVE It! - 2002 Acura RSX
  By SoCalGirl - October 18 - 2:31 am

  I never knew I could love a car so much! I bought my RSX new in Aug. 2001 with 50 miles on it. I now have 112,000 miles on it and am nearly in tears of the thought that I have to give it up for a more family friendly car (this car wasnt really made to haul car seats around in). Ive had absolutely no problems with this car. I use regular octane in it and take it in for regular service to an Acura dealer. It handles like a sports car and hugs the curves. The hatchback provides so much room for hauling stuff in! Gas mileage is fantastic at 31/36 MPG. Even though my car is 7 years old, it does not feel old when I get into it. I will be SO sad when I have to eventually say goodbye to it.

  Problematic RSX-S - 2002 Acura RSX
  By RSX-S - August 21 - 10:00 am

  This is a very problematic car. A lot of them are having big problems. If you really want one wait until 2003 or 2004 models, so that they work out all the bugs.

  A wonderful car. - 2002 Acura RSX
  By Lanny - August 15 - 10:00 am

  This vehicle has performed very well. It is great to have a car with climate control, an awesome sound system, good gas mileage, and some real power that can be tapped when necessary.
