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.

  Good Enough - 2003 Acura RSX
  By AcuraFan4Life - December 5 - 2:00 am

  After driving a 1992 Integra GS for 10 years without any problems, I decided to make the big switch and I definitely made the right choice. I was thinking about the A4 or 3-Series but realized that the RSX-S gave you so much for $10K less. I realize the Bose isnt as powerful as it should be and the engine is a bit noisy and there isnt a middle armrest, etc. But for the money that you pay, you cant deny that this car not only offers a lot in terms of fun- factor and quality amenities, but also will last you for 10 years easily without any major problems.

  entry level acura - 2003 Acura RSX
  By primera_gte - October 22 - 2:00 am

  The reason why I bought the RSX is it combines looks, functionality, and price. Its handling is pretty good. However its not phenomenal The RSX has very good accelaration for a 4 cylinder auto. Either manuamatic or the D3 function is more than enough to jet around town and merge onto Socal freeways. The ride quality is poor. You can feel every little bump on the road and any dip or divot is very pronounced. The fold down seats and hatch are very useful. But its a bit disconserting to hear your purchases slide around in the back. The height of an open hatch could cause a problem for people under 56.

  Disappointed - 2003 Acura RSX
  By roenick - July 24 - 2:00 am

  Thought I would be getting better performance but in the end,this car is not so quick. Ive decided to trade in for a WRX which is much quicker, more fun to drive, and has AWD system. There are superior cars out there at this price level - make sure you shop around and dont get lured in by a commercial that makes the RSX seem like a sports car. Its not.

  2002 RSX - S - 2003 Acura RSX
  By Fele - June 17 - 2:00 am

  Boughth mine in July 2001 (first batch). Car is excellent and very fun to drive (I love the 6 speed shifter). I had trouble with leather on my car seat (Acura replaced it). Otherwise had no other problems with it. Highly recomend for the price.

  Just plain AWESOME! - 2003 Acura RSX
  By Omi Oh My - June 5 - 10:00 am

  After drooling over the pictures in the brochure and staring at every other RSX on the road, I finally got my own beautiful Arctic Blue Pearl Type-S. This car is incredible. The interior is classy and refined, and the exterior a joy to look at. The ride and performance are excellent, made all the more enjoyable by the sound of the exhaust. For the money, there is no better alternative.

  bang for the buck - 2003 Acura RSX
  By madjoe - June 5 - 10:00 am

  i am a master auto tech and this is by far the most fun car ive driven in 10 12 years of driving.the shifting is effortless and it handles like a M3 but half the price. all i have to say is 100 H.P. per liter naturally aspirated.unreal if everyone could do that the morning commute would be a pole position. go drive one and see for yourself. P.S. chicks are drawn to this one.

  Awesome Car! - 2003 Acura RSX
  By RSX_Enthusiast - March 23 - 2:00 am

  This is a great car for anyone who is looking for a mix of luxury and sport for a reasonable price. I looked at $30K cars that I didnt like as much as the RSX Type-S!

  Satisfied - 2003 Acura RSX
  By jpcarvaj - March 17 - 2:00 am

  This is the best car around for less than 22K. The VW GTI is a good contestant but the platform is getting old and boring, the Celica is a girly car and the Tiburon lacks reliability. If you are planning to buy this car youre making the smart choice. A good advice will be to test drive first the 5 speed manual, then the automatic, and finally the Type-S.
