  • A wonderful car. - 2002 Acura RSX
    By -

    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.

  • Sweeeet!! - 2002 Acura RSX

    My last love was a car...this one. Have had this sweetheart for 11 mos., and its just about the most perfect blend of performance, luxury and economy (avg. 28-30 mpg in town when the foots not headed south)available in its price range. When the iV-Tech kicks in around 6000 rpm it feels like 10 lbs. of turbo boost and will really plaster a grin on your face. Unfortunately, it doesnt last last long enough to the 7900 rpm redline ;-) Overall the few nits are just plain blown away by the upside this ride posesses. It makes commuting almost entertaining (!!) and is a flat-out blast to drive.

    This car is so awesome~! This is my first car and Im only 17 yrs old, but I have driven Celicas & Eclipses to compare it to. I feel like i got a great deal! If you get one, get it with the OEM Under Body Spoilers and the Wing Spoiler! Very nice and clean yet sporty at the same time. It adds so much more depth to the character of the RSX, something that is rich already. Got mine with leather, but had to post here cause I already posted all my wonderful thougts! Just wanted to tell you how GREAT of a car it is!---6200 miles up to date! and still going GREAT!

  • LOVE MY RSX - 2002 Acura RSX
    By -

    Ive had my RSX since January and its been great. I love the precise handling and acceleration at higher rpms. Its great on long trips and gets good gas mileage. Plus, its a Honda, so I dont have to worry about it spending alot of time in the shop. Ill keep this one!

    WARNING!!! If you buy this car you will end up racing everyone. Once the RPMs hit 6500 the car lundges forward. The i-vtec engine is a fine piece of engineering.

  • Nice Ride - 2002 Acura RSX

    Great little car, run nice sounds great and for a decent price. The seats are very comfortable and the gages and really sharp looking. The proformance is like non-other. Bets car on the market for sport coups.

  • Enough to keep you happy - 2002 Acura RSX
    By -

    The standard RSX is not the fastest, best looking, or most nimble car out there, but it does all of the above pretty darn well. The acceleration, cornering and breaking are all above average. The ultimate reason for purchasing this car was reliability and performance. I know that the car will likely not have many problems and the car will likely perform similar to what it does now three years from now. The engine is pedestrian while at lower speeds, but the horses really kick in when the rpms go above 5000.

  • RSX RIPPER - 2002 Acura RSX
    By -

    I bought this car with high intent for performance. When the rpm reaches 6, it roars.

  • Turning a Leaf - 2002 Acura RSX

    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!

  • RSX Type S - great all round car - 2002 Acura RSX
    By -

    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.
