  57K miles and still love it - 2004 Acura RSX
  By Vince - August 12 - 10:32 pm

  This car does nothing great, but does everything well. It has enough power to be useable in daily driving, yet it feels like a different car when VTEC kicks in around 6K RPM. Stock it handles well enough, but go aftermarket for serious handling. The interior is good. Nothing in this car requires the owners manual. Honda has perfected user-friendly interiors. When driven reasonably, Ive averaged 34-36 MPG consistently. The chassis has developed some rattles, mainly when the temps are cold. Other than that, the chassis is solid. I had 2nd gear grinds earlier on, but it now only happens when extremely cold. Overall, I love this car and I think its a great car for the young professional.

  RSX w/leather - 2004 Acura RSX
  By JohnnyH - August 10 - 10:00 am

  Great car. Fun to drive and 165hp is more than enough. Can keep up with 200hp cars easily. Great deal too for all the amenities you get.

  Good car, bad people - 2004 Acura RSX
  By IDriveALemon - May 22 - 2:00 am

  I have never been to such horrible dealerships in my life. The people are just horrible, they dont care about the customer, they are willing to say just about anything just to be able to deny (warranty on) your claim on problems and issues with the car. The warranty as far as Im concerned is completely irrevelent, since they dont car to abide by it. If you want a car without a warranty, this is the car. But you might as well buy it used for that matter.

  Fun but needs something - 2004 Acura RSX
  By GD - April 26 - 2:14 am

  Forgetting the fact that this car is no longer being made (poor Integra) It is a fun car day to day. The only thing is that for the money you can get a LOT more bang for your buck. If you are a die hard Honda fan you will forget the fact that the car has no torque and gets tiring to drive when revving to 8100 to stay in vtec after every shift. I bought the car on a whim but wish I would have looked at a WRX. Good reliable car but really overpriced and underpowered. Honda needs to step it up with a boosted car or they will be left behind. Also dont plan on carrying anyone in the car, the extra weight and lack of torque kills any hope of accelerating.

  Best car in this price range you can get - 2004 Acura RSX
  By SiR-DC5 - April 3 - 2:00 am

  I had a 3rd gen Integra before this RSX Type S. The first thing I noticed on this RSX-S is that Acura addressed every complaints I have on the Integra and made some more improvements on top it. It has enough power to get around or to pass on highway. And it comes with great standard features. I couldnt find a car that has better value, performance, reliability, and features at this price range.

  After 2 years, still lovin it - 2004 Acura RSX
  By Vince - December 15 - 9:08 am

  Overall, I love this car. It blends performance along w/ luxury in a very valuable package. Yes, the gearbox is a little finicky at times, but you just have to row thru the gears prior to driving, especially when cold. Yes, my car has many rattles. Ask any owner of a sport compact w/ a very stiff suspension. Its just the nature of the beast. Used to drive this thing 160 miles everyday for work. Road noise gets tiresome and stiff suspension causes backaches, but gets very good MPG. Compared to other cars, may not have the most luxury or features. Honda owner for life.

  Buy it - 2004 Acura RSX
  By lasheric - October 9 - 10:00 am

  Figured I would review my car since so many other reviews helped me. Ive had no problems with this car since buying it a year ago. I have test driven to many cars to count, the Acura has the most amazing handling and engine power. You wont regret buying this car, just make sure you dont pay to much over invoice, like I did.

  Still Happy - 2004 Acura RSX
  By TP - September 27 - 11:18 am

  Ive had a 2004 Type-S for 33,000 miles. Im completeley happy with it and am only sad that 2006 is the end of the line for the great Integra-RSX. I owned an Integra previously and bought the RSX-Type-S because I like the engineering and the car gets exceptional mileage. Its a little noisy but so what? You have the CD player on anyway, and the Bose sound system is quite good. Better than the Integras Alpine. This is a gearheads car, and its a blast to drive. Too bad its easy to get tickets! It looks good, especialy in Milano Red, and is nicely put together and exceptionally reliable. Nice job Acura!

  5300 rpm 2nd phase. - 2004 Acura RSX
  By billabong - August 27 - 2:00 am

  Ive just purchased my 2004 Nighthawk Black Pearl RSX Type-S. Coming from sports car(Mitsu 3000GT), this car serves me very well. I love the tight cornering ability, 6sp manual, 200hp i- Vtec...etc. Just as what my title of this colume, I smile when I see my rev meters reaching 5300rpm because Im pulling harder than ever!
