Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No 
Pros: Looks decent, good handling on smooth roads, in-dash changer, brakes
Cons: Weird interior, unsettled on rough roads, torqueless
The Bottom Line: If you have money burning a hole in your pocket and NEED a Honda, check this one out - but I'd rather have a 10-year old Honda than this one.
Here is my personal review of the RSX Type-S. Kudos to Epinions for finally posting it - I've been itching to write this for a couple weeks now.
I went to the local dealer and they had a "desert mist blue" RSX Type-S sitting out front. It...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No
Pros: Sporty, reasonably priced and fun to drive.
Cons: Blind spots, hard to get in and out of, high rated (bad for insurance).
The Bottom Line: I like driving it but I am very petite. It is just not a useful car overall. Good for a loner who doesn't give rides.
I guess things have changed in my life in the last year. My Acura RSX was suitable for my life style years ago but as time goes on, I don't really want this car anymore. Don't get me wrong, this car is fun to drive, easy to control and sporty. If you ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No
Pros: Refinement over Integra, Smooth Ride, Excellent interior
Cons: Where is the torque, Civic look-a-like, Brake Fade
The Bottom Line: All I can say is that their is so much to choose from, other than the RSX TYPE S; don't rush into buying the car because of its name.
I have been searching the market for a fun car purchase. Before I buy any car, I always research for background knowledge about the car that I will think about buying. The car mags got me so excited over the new RSX. They claimed it is quicker than...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Inspiring drive, Road feedback, Handling, Gear Box, Bose sound system, Best engine in it's class
Cons: Engine power comes at high revs, No standard fog lights and rear spoiler, costly options.
The Bottom Line: Overall I love this car, and I recommend it to you without hesitation, given it answers your needs, because of it's comfort, performance, reliability, and fun factor.
Why I purchased a Type-S:
Before the RSX Type-S, I owned a Mazda Protege ES-GT. I liked the car because it handled well in most circumstances, was somewhat practical, and reliable. But I wanted something faster, with a stronger chassis, and...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: excellent power, iVTEC, handling, styling, interior appointments, shifter feel
Cons: 3rd gear pop out, no center armrest, weak stereo w/ poor bass
The Bottom Line: If you love sporty cars and enjoy a thrilling ride experience: BUY THIS CAR!!
UPDATE: I have had this car for about a week now, and there are a few things I'd like to update. If you haven't read the review yet, go ahead and skip this. This car gets decent gas mileage for a sporty car, I averaged 25mpg, doing probably 60/40 ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Sporty
Cons: Small, very small
The Bottom Line: Great for short little trips and racing-oriented people. Not for commuting. Acura's name should make it a reliable car.
Radioactive Sport eXperience
The all-new Acura Integra, or 2002 Acura RSX, provides a radioactive sport experience. The styling is sporty, the engine is rev-happy, the seats hold you in place, the gages are...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great Mileage, Sleek Design, Powerful Engine, Honda Reliability
Cons: No Arm Rest, No LSD, Poor Stock Tires
The Bottom Line: 2.0 Liter, 200hp, 30 miles to the gallon. 0-60 in 6 seconds, 1/4 mile in 15 seconds. What more can I say?
I upgraded to the RSX Type-S from a 1999 Sentra SE-Limited. The Sentra has a SR20DE 2.0 Liter Engine with 140hp and 135lbs of torque. I was very happy with the power band, 4 door accessibility, and it's over practicality. Then I realized my years of...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Fun, sporty, fast, looks great.
Cons: Bumpy ride, not enough storage in the front. Expensive insurance and fuel. Expensive to repair.
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a fun, reliable car, this is a great car for you. But look elsewhere for young drivers or if you need a family car.
I owned an Acura RSX for 5 years. It was recently destroyed in an accident. Unfortunately Acura is no longer making the RSX, but if you are in the market for a used car, the RSX is one to consider. I owned the base model, automatic. I didn't add any ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: How it looks, how it drives, quality of Acura, great car for the money
Cons: The stereo (easily upgraded), no armrest, seats could be a little more comfortable
The Bottom Line: I would highly recommend this car, as I don't think there is a better sportscar for the same price.
I recently bought a 2002 RSX Type S, and I am very happy with it. I find myself looking forward to the next time I "get" to drive. I searched long and hard for a new (used) car. My last two vehicles were SUV's, and I was looking for something fun to ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: aggressive styling, excellent handling, ergonomical interior, fun to drive
Cons: torqueless, road noise, not standard with spoiler and larger wheels
The Bottom Line: The RSX is for the true automobile enthusiast seeking style, luxury, speed without a high price tag.
The RSX Type-S is for someone looking for luxury with that sports car feel. The car lacks torque but makes up for it implementing the new i-VTEC system which engages at 6000 RPM's and brings the engine to life. The car sticks with you on hard cornering...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Quick response, Nicely integrated stereo, price is right, great handling, back seat adaquate
Cons: Blah styling, plastic looking interior
The Bottom Line: A ho-hum looking sports car? Integra's exterior is still not outdated yet!
First to Have?
I have actually seen the car BEFORE it was offically released. The dealer just couldn't wait to be seen with it, making them "the first one to have it". I test driven this car the next day.
Style, It has Not...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Smooth, powerful engine. Many standard features, comfy seats. More sophisticated, and still fun to drive.
Cons: Less torque means higher revs. New looks and personality may not excite some younger buyers.
The Bottom Line: The RSX is the mature, more refined replacement of the late Integra. Though much of the youthful personality is lost, it's a fine car, and still fun.
WHAT'S IN A NAME? Noticed a name trend with Acura cars? It all started around 1996, when Acura started dropping car names in favor of "upscale-sounding" alphanumeric labels. Examples? The Legend became the “3.5RL”. Then Acura added the “TL” and...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Handling, Fuel economy, Interior finish
Cons: Ride quality, Rear visibility, Power
The Bottom Line: Excellent car a good price. Rock solid quality.
Buy the Type S if you have the need for speed. Be prepared for very harsh ride.
I purchased the 2002 RSX Premium with manual 5 speed in September. Below is my impression of the care after 4 months of ownership.
First I need to explain the reason I picked the RSX premium over other cars in the market. After driving my old...
