    Well built. Only have 1100 miles but they have bee a fun 1100. Can feel the engine getting stronger as it loosens up. Very quick for a 4 cyl.

  • Tranny problems - 2004 Acura RSX
    By -

    I have owned Hondas all my life, every version of the Civic or Integra imaginable. This RSX Type S was very disappointing. The 6 speed transmission was a major problem for me, and I brought it back to the dealer several times. These cars notoriously grind 2nd and 3rd gears, and when I brought it back to the dealer they claimed that they could not "replicate the problem" Engine is awesome, suspension is killer, but the tranny is a huge problem! Beware when you purchase!

  • RSX type s - 2004 Acura RSX

    well so far, as this car being my first manual car to drive(and the first car ive ever owned), It has been good to me so far(1500 mi). If you have experience in shifting, the transmission is smooth(except 2nd gear, see below). it also has impressive handling as well. The reliability is, obviously, well-known to be the best out there. the engine was built strong and tough.

  • I luv my car! - 2004 Acura RSX
    By -

    Had a 93 integra 2 yrs. ago, loved it, crashed it, got a new eclipse,wanted an acura but got sucked into the triple zero deal, loved it, crashed it (neither accident my fault, my luck sucks!), finally got a 02 RSX, silver, high spoiler, the works. Only complaint, the stereo could be louder, and road noise is annoying(but I knew that and it didnt deter me. Herb Chambers sucks at cust. service, never gets back to you when they say, (i had some issues and it took months to resolve) once they had my money (19950.00 CASH) they dont wanna know you. But I love my car!

    best car ever i like my acura so much i wouldnt trade it for another car in the same price range

  • Ill keep mine, thank you! - 2004 Acura RSX
    By -

    My 4 year lease will end in June of 08, and I plan on keeping this car until it starts to rust. Buy-out is well below the cars value. I thought is was just me w/the quirky 2nd gear, but I see others have noticed it, too. Dependably 320 miles per tank (26-27 mpg in city driving). Super reliability - I had brake pads replaced a week ago, even though the originals still had about 3 months left on them. Could have leased it for 4 years & never changed the brakes. Love the VTEC sound, enjoy the handling, especially when I have the chance to cut loose on a twisty. At 64" and 220, I fit comfortably, but nobody ever rides in the back! A few body chirps in the cold,and stereo needs upgraded.
