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.

  • 1 year followup RSX-S - 2003 Acura RSX
    By -

    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 -

    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 -

    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.

  • Fun Coupe - 2003 Acura RSX
    By -

    I have owned the car for 6 months now and still greatly enjoy driving it. It has good exterior looks, acceleration, fuel economy, and comfy interior. The automatic climate control is nice for maintaining a constant temperature without having to mess with the controls all the time. Interior lighting is impressive. Acceleration is best in manual mode with the standard coupe (non S-type). Only minor complaint is that the steering is a bit stiff. Otherwise it is a great car comfortable for commuting but lots of fun on an open country road.

  • Love This Car! - 2003 Acura RSX
    By -

    Just bought 2 weeks ago, love my new car. ive been planning my car purchase for 10 months now. Looked at almost every car under 25K, and this was far and away the best car in its class. A comparably equipped Celica is thousands more, I dont like the exterior look of the WRX, and Mitsubishi Eclipses are more expensive and arent exactly known for reliability. I did my homework and got the car for 200 hundred over invoice (Base model). Unlike some others, I love the exterior styling of the car. The interior is awesome, made with high- quality materials. Auto-Climate Control is nice added touch. Highly recommended!

  • Excellent Value - 2003 Acura RSX
    By -

    Ive had this car for 4 months and I can honestly this car is a ball to drive and has amazing build quality. As a previous 99 Mustang owner I can honestly say this is own of the best coupes for the money on the market right now. The only real drawback is it uses premium gas and occasionaly I get a liitle bit of tranny grind going from 2nd to 3rd. If your looking for a 2 door of any kind at least test drive the RSX-Type-S.

  • MY RSX! - 2003 Acura RSX

  • 2003 Acura RSX Type-S - 2003 Acura RSX
    By -

    Drives smoothly, accelerates fast, best interior design Ive seen in a car in a long time and best of all, its a joy to drive. If you ever decide to purchase one, opt only for the Type-S.

  • Base RSX 5speed - 2003 Acura RSX
    By -

    This car is perfect in every way. For those who wish to use it for a high class economy car for lots of traveling, this car is perfect. And it has enough power to make it a fun car to race or just push to its limits.

  • Luxury & Race Inspired - In One - 2003 Acura RSX
    By -

    I wanted a sporty car with a luxury feel to it, and the Acura RSX-S provides just that for me. Whenever I feel like doing some spirited driving, the 200-hp engine with i-VTEC more than satisfies my expectations. The stiff racing inspired seats are great for taking quick corners comfortably, but they can be uncomfortable on longer trips. My Acura RSX-S makes the usual daily drive, going from point A to point B, and enjoyable and exciting experience.
