This Year's Model Updates:

Other than a new color, Redondo Red Pearl, there are no changes to the RSX in its sophomore year. Available from the dealer, however, is a new "Factory Performance" package that adds high-performance suspension components, better brakes, larger wheels and tires and a body kit.

Pros:
  • High-revving Type-S engine, plenty of standard equipment, nimble handling.
Cons:
  • Modest torque output, tight rear-seat headroom.

    This car is the best for the under 25K coupe class. Great performance, car is as solid as a vault and you know re- sale value and long-term reliability are a given.

    I bought this car a month ago an Im still excited everytime I drive it! It is an eye pleaser and a head turner! I owned a Ford previously and I will never go back! This is the best car I have ever driven!

    I have had my RSX-type S for a year and a half. I bought it initially because I wanted a reliable, but fun car and I havent been disappointed yet. The only problem I have found is leaving it alone...Im scared someone might breath on it wrong. I love my car.

  • RSX Type S is a great car - 2003 Acura RSX
    By -

    this is a great car. I am a previous owner on a VW VR6 and I feel like the RSX type S is worth the money. The VW gave me so much problem that I had to give up on it(good acc. and power but piece of junk things starts to fall apart on the first half of the year). with the rsx type S, I feel the boost without having to waste money of paying for an expensive car. car havent gave me any trouble yet and show no sign what so ever. fun to drive. Great exterior design and handling. overall great car. very happy with the buy.

  • 1.5 Year Update - 2003 Acura RSX
    By -

    Ive had my RSX-S for about 18 months and found it to be very reliable and great on gas (26-33) even if you thrash it. Great interior design and the hatchback provides loads of space. However, some things are starting to annoy me: The seats are great for holding you place around corners, but get painful after about 1 hour as they are hard and flat, Third gear can be hard to engage, The engine basically makes little power until 6K and after that gets really loud, Stock tires squeal around even moderate speed turns.

  • Excellent - 2003 Acura RSX

    Ever since I saw the rsx-s I wanted one and when I finally got one my expectations were not desived. This is one of the best cars I have ever driven and I love the sporty looks and it handles perfectly. I highly recomend driving one if you get the chance!!!

  • Awesome car for 25k! - 2003 Acura RSX
    By -

    This car is all about the driving experience! The handling of this car is amazing, esp. for a front wheel drive car. The interior is very well designed and is quite comfortable. But the most exciting feature is watching the rpm tach hit vtec! It is a very exciting experience when one hears the fury come out of the little i-4 engine! This is a true driving machine and its priced under 25k! I got mine with the full body kit (incl. wing - makes it look sleeker), fogs, & titn. trim all for 24.5 OTD! I am very satisfied with my purchase, even after 1 & 1/2 yrs. Overall, the Acura RSX is the perfect example of what Honda/Acura racing is all about!
