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.

  • Quite An Improvement - 2003 Acura RSX

    Acura has hit another home run. The RSX is built like a watch. Everything works as designed. The ride is a little stiff but thats the trade off for good handling.

    My experience with this car has been great. I love the handling and the high revving engine. Such a small car with a powerful engine is a great combination.

  • Great Car - 2003 Acura RSX

    I purchased my RSX in February of 2002 and Ive enjoyed it ever since. Love the ride however they could have put better tires on it. This car radio system should have more watts. I like how the controls cater to the driver. I love this car, but Im planning to buy the 04 TL!

  • Good entry-level sports car - 2003 Acura RSX
    By -

    The good: acceleration, reliability, tight suspension. The bad: audio system, road noise. The ugly: insurance rates. This is a remarkable car. The S- type is a better sports car, but less practical if you live in an urban center. Tall 3rd gear is a lifesaver during rush hour. It’s a good car to learn or refine your manual driving skills. “Precise” is the keyword for a RSX. Because this car is marketed to the 20 something crowd, insurance rates are high (if you’re under 25, expect your monthly insurance rate to be half of your car payment). Visit an RSX forum to hunt for a good dealer. Overall, no car comes close the RSX for the price.

  • Nice Car - 2003 Acura RSX

    Lets be honest it is a 20,000 dollar car so it is not going to come near something like a porsche or lamborgini. That being said, the rsx destroys almost all its competion, the only thing that comes close (in its price range) is an RX8 and it loses. THis car is extremely responsive fun and to top it out gets great milage. If your looking for a car in this price range look no further

  • Best value for the money in class! - 2003 Acura RSX
    By -

    I have 7500 miles on my RSX-S. Love it! Two things that set it aside: First, once you start adding options to match the "Type-S" package, all of the competitors (except Tiburon) end up costing more. Second, its more more upright, more refined, less "boy racer". Its not v-8 fast, but I have skunked Pontiac supercharged v-6s before. This is THE best deal-for-the- dollar in its bracket.

  • GO Girl. - 2003 Acura RSX
    By -

    I love the suspension and horse power. The car was worth waiting for to get the color I wanted which was the blue RSX. Buying it through the Fleet dealer was the only way I would go. The stick shifts fast and is set square to the car so I never scratch gears! The airbags in the side of the seats are measured to the wieght of the passanger. They work or the light on the dash will set and tell you disabled. Great Coupe.

  • Sweet Car - 2003 Acura RSX

    Awesome car! Obviously its an Acura. Only complaints would be the tires, but i already had 18s ready for it before i bought it!!!!
