    Everyone knows AcuraÂ…but I dont think everyone knows how affordable the RSX is. Its really a great deal because everything is included in the base price 4 yr/50,000 warranty, 10,000 mile oil changes, total luxury care, there are so many perks. but whats important is you fall in love with driving again. Ive been burned by terrible american made cars - and you should know theres resonable priced imports that will take care of all your needs!

    This was my first car I bought on my own and it was great. Had everything you would want in a car including, performance, looks, utility, fuel economy, and reliability. If I had a need for a 2nd car I would have kept it however Im sure it will be a blessing to the next owner.

    This was my first car that I had bought on my own. Got it when I was 27 and now Im 34. (I just got a cpo BMW 328i with all the bells & whistles). This car had it all for the money. I was one of the first to have it. It was the TYPE S too. The handling was great for its classes. However I noticed that in the last couple years the suspension started to give a bit. The hatchback was great since the backseats could fold down and I could carry a lot of things in the back. The car had over 130,000 miles on it when I sold it to carmax. Im sure it could have lasted several more years but I didnt have a need for 2 cars. Ill miss this car for sure, but Im really enjoying my new ride! =)

  • Never owned an Acura? Youre missing out - 2002 Acura RSX

    Two Words...THE BEST. This is now the third Acura in the family. Everyone talks about Acura not being a luxury car. They just have never owned one. The quality, the resale, and most importantly...The fun to drive nature of this car. One of the only guarantees in life!!!! Excellent all the way around!

    This car is amazing for less than 25K. It beats anything at its price point! It so much fun to drive I cant leave it alone. The engine and transmission are the ultimate match. The engine is SO SMOOTH and CREAMY!

  • Best Car Ive ever owned - 2002 Acura RSX

    All the performance of a sports car, with all the reliability of a top of the line Japanese car.

  • best car for the money - 2002 Acura RSX
    By -

    My choice was between the Jetta 1.8T and the RSX Type-S. The Jetta offered more low-end torque, but the RSX blinded me with smooth handling and beautiful interior. Just like a Lamborgini, the tach and speedometer dials point down. At night, the mesmorizing red glow of the dials appears completely uniform across the dash. Not all looks, you feel every bit of the 200hp with the I-VTEC engine.
