Overview & Reviews

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.

• High-revving Type-S engine, plenty of standard equipment, nimble handling.

• Modest torque output, tight rear-seat headroom.

  this car is *almost* perfect - 2003 Acura RSX
  By used 03 rsx - April 27 - 2:00 am

  performance - acura rates this car as having 160 hp. dont be deceived. the peak hp is delivered around 6000 rpm, which you wont normally access unless youve got the pedal stomped to the floor. comfort - these seats are the best stock seats ive ever rested my cheeks on. the seats literally wrap around the driver to keep you in place through twisting turns. fuel economy - im getting nearly 27 mpg in mostly city driving!! build quality - the build quality is a 50/50 mix of being excellent / suspect. overall this car is EXCELLENT. test drive a few other cars for the sake of comparison, but this car is a GREAT buy.

  Exactly what I wanted - 2003 Acura RSX
  By Grinner - April 9 - 2:00 am

  I like small cars and needed something with an automatic (I have a bad knee), that would hold its value well, good performance, gas mileage, comfortable on long trips and able to occasionally carry bulky items, like a 32" TV set. I found the RSX to have the best combination of a small engine with an automatic I have ever seen. Its not a racer but it is quite lively and extremely smooth. I also get as much as 32 MPG on the highway but only 16-18 in town. (Heavy right foot, my fault.) In all, its the perfect car for me.

  Bang for the buck - 2003 Acura RSX
  By SCFD471 - March 11 - 2:00 am

  Ive owned this car for a year...have had a BMW 3, a Mazda Miata and a Silverado truck. This is by far the most fun and best handling. The clutch and 6 speed are smooth and easy, the steering is tight and handles awesome. when you rev the car over 6K RPM (its designed for this) the power comes on like crazy! Its like its got a turbo, thanks to the i-Vtec. I Plan on keeping this one for a while and I cant imagine anything better in the price range. This is "a luxury Civic on steriods" and has the quality of a Acura TL, would recomend to anyone.

  Review - 2003 Acura RSX
  By RSXTS - January 10 - 2:00 am

  Ive owned two of these cars now. The 1st one saved my life in a two roll over/4 tree hit accident. They have great potential and are a major eye turner while driving around town..

  Great car, great price - 2003 Acura RSX
  By sigmapiiu - January 7 - 2:00 am

  This car is amazing and is deserving of all the awards that it receives. The acceleration is there when you need it. The interior design is fabulous. Although the best part of the car is its superb handling.

  1 year followup RSX-S - 2003 Acura RSX
  By jtjwcol - January 6 - 2:00 am

  I have now owned the car for 1 year and driven over 16000 miles. I can still say that this is the finest vehicle I have ever owned. No rattles or squeaks, still looks new and it is still a blast to drive. I am 62" and have taken trips up to 200 miles none stop and have never been uncomfortable. I would recommend this car to anyone without reservation.

  ONE FUN RIDE! - 2003 Acura RSX
  By usnavydad - January 4 - 2:00 am

  Reliable, well designed, great mileage, and fun to drive. The interior is functional and simple and really gives off an aura of quality. Seats are well bolstered but not the most comfortable, but this is a sports car and the RSX will let you know that from the beginning. I bought mine from Inskip Acura in Providence, RI and the went out of their way to help me with the purchase of my first new car and I highly reccomend them.

  Good Combo of Comfort and Performance - 2003 Acura RSX
  By LFOV - December 18 - 2:00 am

  When I started looking for a replacement for my VW Passat, the RSX wasnt even on my short list. I was ready to buy a Subaru WRX - until I drove one. By chance, I stopped in at my local Acura dealer and test drove an RSX Type S. I came away VERY impressed with the overall package. It has reasonable performance (its a SPORTY car, not a SPORTS car), good comfort and amenities and is a tremendous bargain for what you get. As Honda was also offering low-rate financing, I couldnt pass the deal up.
