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

    This is a great car indeed. Its fast, reliable and comfortable as well. Plus it responds great to aftermarket mods such as intake/exhaust/headers. Acura has won me over with the RSX-S. Dima proud owner of a Satin Silver RSX-S with Injen intake, Borla exhaust and Neuspeed short shifter.

  • Very nice car - 2002 Acura RSX
    By -

    Performance is great for a 4-cylinder, comfort, features, and amenities are above average for this type of vehicle and price range. Gas mileage is great during regular driving, still good when having fun. Very fun car to drive with a beautiful engine/exhaust sound. Quality of build is very good, but not great.

  • Best Decision Ive Ever Made in a Car - 2002 Acura RSX
    By -

    I have over 70,000 on my 2002 RSX and I loved driving every mile that is on it. The looks of the car are sleek, stylish, and so much fun! Even though my car is already 5 years old, it doesnt look it. I love the smooth shifting and the roomy trunk especially when the seats are down (I moved half of my dorm room with it!). The only problem I had was with the motor on the passenger door lock and with the passenger side airbag which they fixed right away. It handled excellent when a light pole fell in front of me on the freeway and I ran right over it without swerving an inch. I hit a semi-truck tire that blew out in front of me too and it didnt do very much damage to my car either.

  • Take a look..... - 2002 Acura RSX

    I wanted a front-wheel drive car (I live in MI, SNOW!), decent gas milage, something I could have fun driving to work, but refined enough to take a girl on a date. Out of all these requests, I ended up with the RSX Type S. This car is shear "WOW!" Im a tall guy (64") and I fit comfortably in this car. I had one factory assembly issue with the steering wheel column cover. I just re-assembled it easily and all is fine. Other than that this car is exactly what everyone writes about it. I dont need an arm rest because I never take my hand off the shifter. I love driving and love this car!

  • Fantastic Car - 2002 Acura RSX
    By -

    The seats are probably the most comfortable and most supportive Ive ever experienced. The steering and shifting is top notch. The ergonomics are superb. The engine is a gem. The old Hondas lacked low end, but the i-VTEC motor really improves all around driveability. The car screams when pushed. The handling is very good. Though I feel the tires give. If this car had better rubber on the rims the driving experience would improve drastically. All in all a great car!

    I have had this car for less than a month, but it is the most fun I have ever had in a car.

  • Sweet Ride - 2002 Acura RSX
    By -

    Ive had my car RSX Type S for about 2 weeks now, it handles very nice. Traded in 2000 Celica GT-S, too many little problems with it. The engine has a nice quiet sound to it at slower paces, but if you want to hear it scream just floor it. Handles really nice around turns. Very pleased with purchase.

  • Not without problems, definitely a treat - 2002 Acura RSX
    By -

    Ive had my Tpre-S for two monthes now. It is a thrill to drive. I cant stay away from it. Thats why it betting annoying that its going in the shop for the third time in two monthes. The Acura dealership service department is great. They always give me another RSX to drive, but the Type-S makes all the difference in the world.

  • What a great car!!! - 2002 Acura RSX
    By -

    If you are looking for a car that gets good gas mileage and out performs other vehicles on the road, look no further this is your vehicle. Since I purchased it I just cant seem to stop driving it. It is an addiction I am glad I have.
