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.

  • Good car for Good money - 2003 Acura RSX
    By -

    If you looking for a car that can compete with those ppls on the street, and also need to fit into a fixed budget, this RSX-S would be your first choice. Compare RSX-S to Celica GT-S and others ( same level), I did my choice on this one, how about you? ( try them all and get a conclusion) . Have fun to search!!

  • My new Acura RSX is perfect! - 2003 Acura RSX
    By -

    I recently purchased my RSX & so far its perfect! When I was looking at cars, I was mainly looking into the Celica and Tiburon. I had been to numerous dealerships, but I just couldnt find what I wanted. Finally, I "discovered" the RSX and immediately knew that it was the car for me. I havent been disappointed. From looks to performance to price, its a great car.

    I just bought my RSX Type-S about a week ago and I love it. The style, the performance, the color, the acceleration, the drive are all awesome. Im excited about driving it each time I get in it. Those of you purchasing one or have purchased one, ENJOY!!

  • Every time - 2003 Acura RSX
    By -

    Have you every owned something that was an absolute joy every single time you used it? For most of us, without a fat bankroll, this is not usually the case. For me this was true until I had this car. The RSX is a dream come true and whenever I drive another car its a bummer.

  • Second to none - 2003 Acura RSX
    By -

    I test drove the Mitsubishi Eclipse GT and GTS,Toyota Celica GT,RSX Type-S,and RXS.My choice was an easy one when I looked at initial quality,price,resale value,and fun to drive factor. I just didnt feel the extra horsepower the RSX Type S has and the insurance was much higher than the RSX. I also liked the feel and quality of the cloth seats. This is the funnest car I have ever driven. I just cant believe how quick and economical this car is. It suits me perfectly.

  • No regrets at all! - 2003 Acura RSX
    By -

    For less than $25,000, its hard to find a better car that combines sportiness with a little bit of luxury. To be honest, I didnt even bother with looking at the Eclipse or Celica because I knew that I would be getting a better deal and overall value for the RSX. Considering Hondas reputation, and coming from a family that drives mainly Hondas, theyve become a company I can trust.

  • Great Car - 2003 Acura RSX
    By -

    After owning this car for about 5 years, I can safely say it was a great choice. First, the fuel efficiency is amazing. I drive the manual, and I regularly average 30-34 miles per gallon. This is mixed highway and city driving. The interior is ergonomic and spacious (for the driver, at least), the handling is crisp and responsive, the gearbox is amazing (dont whine about the grinding, it goes away after a few thousand miles), the engine is revvy and powerful for its size and fuel efficiency, and the car is built to very tight tolerances. After 5 years, none of the electricals have gone out, nor have any rattles developed. Taut car.

  • Great Car love it everytime I drive it - 2003 Acura RSX
    By -

    I love this car. It was my first car to buy on my own. Ive had it for 7 months now and I can honestly say everytime I get in it I look forward to the experience. The car is pretty fast when you want it to be. Inside is superurb. All the guages are beautiful and the console is angled towards the driver. NICE! The engine sound is a spine tingler :o) I put heated seats in mine for Christmas now there is absolutely nothing I can say I would want the car to have that it doesnt.

  • Sold On Honda Products - 2003 Acura RSX
    By -

    Ive had my RSX for a year and a half now and I am so happy with how well my car drives. It handles as tight as a brand new car and I have 53000 on it now. Comfortable seats. Sport tuned suspension. Powerful yet fuel efficient engine. The car corners like a bat outta hell! Im sold on Honda.

  • Great Car, Fun to drive - 2003 Acura RSX
    By -

    I absolutely love this car. I cant wait to wake up every day to drive it, and I have had it almost 2 years! I usually trade my cars in every year, and there still is nothing even close to this one so I am keeping it even longer!
