  • Sport and Luxury on a budget - 2004 Acura RSX
    By -

    I thought for a long time that this car was an overpriced Civic, but it appears that Acura put the money in all the right places. It takes an econobox, gives it a beautiful interior, and puts in Hondas best features- the high-rev VTEC 4-cylinder and the 6-speed manual. I have 8K miles on mine with no problems other than a loose piece of weatherstrip on the passenger door.The car would handle better with more aggressive rubber, and I find myself needing to get out to stretch my legs on trips longer than about 90 minutes, because I cant quite fully extend my leg while seated no matter how hard I try. Im 64".

    After driving an suv for 3 years I decided to enter to sport compact market and I am so glad I choose this car. Working for a car rental company you see a lot of cars and features you like/dislike. I always look forward to driving this car. It begs to be driven hard and performs extremely well (not in snow). I have not gotten bored driving this car and I know it will perform everyday (unlike some cars I rent). I couldnt be more pleased with this purchase.

  • unbelievable daily commuter!! - 2004 Acura RSX

    I just purchased Rsx type-s. I am very happy that I got this car. I was almost going to buy the new mazda 3. But the horrible manners of people in Mazda dealer, I switched my mind and went to Acura to get this gorgeous looking vehicle. It looks sporty enough, has pretty quick response engine. Very fun to drive ,also, the audio system is decent. I wont regret that I got this car instead of the unstable Mazda cars

  • Best Car in its Class - 2004 Acura RSX
    By -

    This car is great! I traded in a 350hp Trans Am for this car because I was quite upset with having the brand new TA in the shop for over $5000 worth of work in the year I owned it. I have always hated these little foreign cars. However, after opening my eyes to the actual value, performance, gas mileage, reliability, and outstanding customer service (including a real live, brand new Acura TSX loner car when your car needs even minor service). If you even remotely like to drive compare this $24,000 car to the $24,000 04 Grand Prix (my mom just bought one). All I have to say in closing is a little quote from my favorite periodical, Car and Driver, "Best Car in its Class!!"

    The best value in its class by far. The car is a solidly built car regardless of . I believe the car is a steal and recommend it to anyone.

  • Great car. Not much like it on the road - 2004 Acura RSX
    By -

    I love this car. Its made by Honda, so expect Honda reliability. The 200hp TypeS engine is a hoot! If you havent ever driven one, you owe it to yourself to go down and try one out. Take it up to 8100, slam it into second, and hold the hell on!

  • One Sweet Ride! - 2004 Acura RSX

    Great to drive...anywhere. Big trunk space for a coupe, I was able to move furniture and a 24 TV. Great handling on turns, Love that the radio faces more to the driver. Excellent gas milage...LA to Las Vegas in 3/4 of the tank. Looks like a rocket all my friends love my car. I got mine for 20K.

    This is my first new car and let me tell you, it is great! Bought it last February and I have not regretted it. While not the most "sporty" looking car, the styling grew on me and then I knew I just had to buy this car. Overall, Id say best car for my price range. Rev this engine up and I guarantee youll be breaking the speed limit. Great handling, Great interior! Could use a little smoother tranny, but I get by with it.

    I use my RSX mostly for the urban commute to work, but I am able to take it out on rural winding road on the weekends. The car is great for both. It is both comfortable enough for daily driving, and fun enough to let loose on the weekends. The service at the dealership is yet to be desired. I had an Infiniti for four years before I bought this car and Acura dealers could take a lesson from their competitor.

  • my rsx-s - 2004 Acura RSX
    By -

    I purchased my RSX-S about a month ago and am very satisfied. Its not only fun to drive, but is very practical and affordable. Acura has a winner here. with more power than the Lexus IS-300 and more stylish than the compact Infinity. It has superb handling and its race inspired seating, you really feel in touch with the road. In a rating of 1-5, I give it a 9.
