  • No compromises - 2002 Acura RSX

    I was determined to get a fun car and my RSX-S is indeed fun. Coming from an SUV, I am still driving my RSX like a 87 year old so about 50-100 of my 200 horses havent gotten out of the stable yet. But is still cant stay below 80 miles an hour. When I was looking for a car, I still had a bit of former SUV enviromental destruction guilt, but I really wanted to surpass the 89 miles an hour I could achieve at maximium warp on my old Blazer. The RSX-S has 200 horsepower and is a Low Emission Vehicle. It is the best of both worlds and I can afford it. The interior is flawless. The stereo is amazing. The interior is what sold the car to me.

    Ive been driving my new RSX for two weeks, and I love it! It drives like a dream and definitely turns heads, too! My previous car was a Ford Focus ZX3, and, by comparison, this is a higher- quality, better-handling, and more sophisticated vehicle.

    This is the second RSX that I bought in 2002. The first one my wife hit a parked car doing 60 mph she walked away with only a broken pair of glasses (the air bag). We bought the second RSX exactly like the first. It is fun the drive and we have had zero problems.

  • The Perfect Car (toy)! - 2002 Acura RSX
    By -

    I was originally looking at an Eclipse GT-S, but after test driving it, it was as boring as a Buick. The Celica GTS and Prelude just didnt do it for me either. But the moment you sit in an RSX Type S, it fits like a perfect glove. It moves forward effortlessly, and is a ton of fun to drive. I like the cockpit, the seats, the styling, the firepepper red exterior - its all good! You can tell it was meant to be a unique experience by design. It feels like everyone on the road is just too slow when you are behind the wheel of that bad boy. The "new car novelty" never wears off. I want to be buried in this car.

    This car is great. Lots of power, tuned exhaust, 6 speeds with lots of road rush. Roll up the windows and it transforms itself into a luxury car.

  • RSX-S, Great commuter - 2002 Acura RSX

    I started with a Subaru Impreza AWD, so the transition to the RSX-S was pretty easy. The RSX-S has a nice stiff stock suspension, and great handling it almost feels like it has AWD. With a couple small mods(cold air intake, racing exhaust) the car has a noticeable difference in acceleration. Its a lot of fun to drive, and has a sleek design.A++

    Absolutely Perfect and lovable. You dont need any other car but this one.

  • Fun, fun, fun. - 2002 Acura RSX

    Fun to drive, the six speed shifter can get tiring if you are not into shifting all the time. Back seat space is pretty tight, if you have friends over 58" tall have them seat up front. Great fuel economy for such a fast car. Acura build means it still feels like new. No problems with it so far.
