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.

  • RSX Type S is a great car - 2003 Acura RSX
    By -

    this is a great car. I am a previous owner on a VW VR6 and I feel like the RSX type S is worth the money. The VW gave me so much problem that I had to give up on it(good acc. and power but piece of junk things starts to fall apart on the first half of the year). with the rsx type S, I feel the boost without having to waste money of paying for an expensive car. car havent gave me any trouble yet and show no sign what so ever. fun to drive. Great exterior design and handling. overall great car. very happy with the buy.

    Ever since I saw the rsx-s I wanted one and when I finally got one my expectations were not desived. This is one of the best cars I have ever driven and I love the sporty looks and it handles perfectly. I highly recomend driving one if you get the chance!!!

  • Awesome car for 25k! - 2003 Acura RSX
    By -

    This car is all about the driving experience! The handling of this car is amazing, esp. for a front wheel drive car. The interior is very well designed and is quite comfortable. But the most exciting feature is watching the rpm tach hit vtec! It is a very exciting experience when one hears the fury come out of the little i-4 engine! This is a true driving machine and its priced under 25k! I got mine with the full body kit (incl. wing - makes it look sleeker), fogs, & titn. trim all for 24.5 OTD! I am very satisfied with my purchase, even after 1 & 1/2 yrs. Overall, the Acura RSX is the perfect example of what Honda/Acura racing is all about!

  • this car is *almost* perfect - 2003 Acura RSX

    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 -

    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.

    great all around car

  • Bang for the buck - 2003 Acura RSX
    By -

    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.

    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 -

    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.
