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

• Modest torque output, tight rear-seat headroom.

  Love It! - 2003 Acura RSX
  By robbiefresno - May 12 - 10:00 am

  Love the car. Looks great. Drives Great. Nice and tight ride with a very responsive engine. Friends are impressed. I take Mulholland Drive home from work now just so I can drive the curves. The stereo does need to be played loud to get the bass but hey, this car is for sporty people with sporty tastes.

  Acura keeps doint its job - 2003 Acura RSX
  By Malafama - November 21 - 2:00 am

  I laugh when i see people in here talking about "performance" Thinking that when they buy a Type-S they are getting a Viper! This is a car to enjoy and feel not a drag racing car, but if you wanna try it lets do it on the streets where we have to corner and lets see what happen to those "Muscle" which i do respect but they are a different category. Acura did a great Job on this coupe, it is nice in and outside, nice power and for those who likes to hook cars up, this is just perfect. Excellent handling and cornering. IF you have one enjoy it, if you dont run and get one, u wont be disappointed if you are looking for a car to enjoy the ride.

  Cant stop smiling - 2003 Acura RSX
  By JAV - October 10 - 2:00 am

  This car is so much fun. When the iVTEC kicks in, the power and sound are wonderful. It is so much fun to run through the gears that I actually dont mind stopping at traffic lights. I have found a new route home from work that incorporates the most curves. My wife and two teenage boys love it too.

  Fun to Drive - 2003 Acura RSX
  By bspancake - July 21 - 2:00 am

  This was my first car I purchased on my own. I was in the market for a small pickup truck and had my mind set on a toyota. I got talked into taking the RSX for a test drive and never looked back. The smooth shifting and great handling was enough for me to purchase. The standard features (leather, sunroof, cd player, etc..) was more added incentive. I love driving this car everyday. For a base car with no features, this car gives the most bang for your buck.

  Loud Ride - 2003 Acura RSX
  By alrdythr - June 3 - 2:00 am

  I really love my RSX-TypeS but have a few wishes for improvement. The road noise is too high particularly on the highway and the radio sound system is sub par. The 6-cd in dash player is great but the sub woofer and speakers are lousy for the level of luxury I expected from Acura.

  2003 Type S - 2003 Acura RSX
  By S^S - May 29 - 10:00 am

  I felt the type S was the best combination of practicality (FWD, hatchback, MPG) and fun available for a reasonable price. The engine is smooth and revs like a sport bike, but makes no torque. Power is: Econo car <3000, Adaquate 3000-6000, Small Block 6000- 8000. Sounds fantastic when approaching red line, but can get tiresome on long trips. Im getting 26- 30 mpg while driving it hard. Great trans except it grinds going into 2nd when cold and shifted quickly. Interior is ergonomically near perfect with superb sport seats and 3 spoke wheel. Good feel to steering with sharp turn-in, but brakes are a little soft.

  Great Car Bad Stereo - 2003 Acura RSX
  By rob217 - April 22 - 2:00 am

  Love the car. Its quick, fun to drive & the six speed is the best Ive ever driven next to the NSX. Gas milage is fantastic for a car with this amout of power & performance. Its hard to find more bang for your buck in this price range. Driving this car gives me a zen type felling that I havent had since I sold my Corvette.
