Oct 04 '01 - Updated Oct 10 '01
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...

Pros: Transmission, easy to read console, engine, handling
Cons: No room in the back for passengers,
The Bottom Line: You will LOVE this car !!! Not recommended for families, because of smaller rear seats and tight suspension.
Two days ago I purchased a RSX premium from West Side Acura in Edmonton (If you want to know who the best person to talk to is just e-mail me). For those readers in the states this model comes with everything the Type S comes with except the Bose sound...

Pros: 200hp iVTEC engine, 30 miles per gallon, race-inspired seats, signature Honda quality
Cons: Service may be expensive, requires premium fuel
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car to anyone. Interior quality, craftsmanship, value, and reliable performance in its class are unbeatable.
Honda has done it again... as the Acura Integra took it's final bow in the US in 2001, the Acura RSX came nipping at its heels as a very worthy replacement. The 200hp Acura RSX Type-S is Honda's answer to the late Integra Type-R. It features an all new ...

Acura RSX Premium, 2002
Bye Integra, Hello RSX.
It took Acura quite a while but they have finally replaced the Integra with a new model. The new Acura is called the RSX.

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Quick, comfortable, stylish, little car handles with the best, standard options galore
Cons: rear headroom, bumpy/gravel roads really bumpy, unprotected area of radiator, 91+ octane fuel
The Bottom Line: Under $25K safe to call a sports car? One drive you'll swear that it's nothing less. Reliability of a Honda with the luxury, feel, and sound of a BMW.
As a former valet, I've parked nearly every type of car out there from Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, Jags down to Fords, Chevys, and cars I had to crank with a screwdriver. The RSX is an absolute dream for the price and the quality of car you get.

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: Sporty, refined, athletic, and upscale.
Cons: Silly name (the RSX is an Integra everywhere it's sold except North America).
The Bottom Line: The RSX is a worthy successor to the vaunted Integra because it moves the Integra to a new level of luxury while retaining most of the Integra's sporty origins.
The 2002 Acura RSX is the replacement for the 3rd generation Integra which was produced for eight years. Given that most cars are redesigned every four years, the Integra was an automotive dinosaur when it was finally retired. However, the 1994 to 2001...

Pros: Being the finest car in its class, it gives the power, comfort and road handling.
Cons: Interior noise level might not be acceptable for grandpas. The car needs a good spoiler.
The Bottom Line: ACURA KEEP UP THAT GOOD WORK !
The 2002 Acura RSX has left many people wondering how come the word ‘Integra’ was not there. Why not Acura Integra RSX right? More than we all would ever know, it is just another of Honda Motor Corporation of Japan marketing department’s new selling...

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...

Pros: More upscale, freshened look, and quality to match the Acura name.
Cons: Too much quality? Too much upscale?
The Bottom Line: For a daily driver you can turn up on the weekends, this is your choice. Fresh and class winning, very good. Sporty feel, smooth engine.
It all started in the 80's, when Honda decided to market a more upscale wing, called Acura, which I might add only exists in North America. The Legend was a great example, quick, and luxurious. Then Acura starting going alphanumeric. Legend became RL,...

Pros: 6-speed, bolstered leather seats, 200-HP, iVTEC, it's a Honda.
Cons: Tires, no illuminated sunvisor mirrors
The Bottom Line: A great-looking, sporty, quick, comfortable [for 2], and downright FUN car that clearly outdoes the competition. The greatest pocket-rocket going!
I put my order in 2 months ahead of time. The day it was released to the public, July 2nd, I played hooky from work and showed up at the dealer at opening. I was the first person in the Philadelphia suburbs to drive away in a 2002 RSX Type S.

Pros: An Elegant Compromise Between Performance and Luxury

The Bottom Line: The RSX Base Model is a nice, sporty car, and undoubtedly the best one in the class, with these features, at this price.
You already know about the Honda and Integra heritage of the car, I'm sure. If not, read the other opinions on this fine car. They've covered it pretty well.
First off, let me say that, in fact, most of you will drive UNDER 100 mph and have...

Pros: Competent handling, precise braking and steering, good value, high-performance offering.
Cons: Xenon headlights, traction/stability control systems absent from options list. Type-S needs more aggressive wheel/tire package.
The Bottom Line: Looking for a sporty, near $20,000 coupe? Then look no further than the Acura RSX. It provides almost everything one could ask for and expect in its price range.
Think rugged SUV’s are the only exciting new vehicle offerings available? Think again, as Honda’s premium Acura division recently introduced its latest high-performance sports coupe, the Acura RSX. The RSX is the replacement for the long-standing...

Pros: Looks. Solid feel. Firm seats and suspension. Buttons/knobs feel great. Good standard wheel size.
Cons: Rev-hungry engine. Wind noise. Tiny rear side windows. Cheesy wipers.
The Bottom Line: Great value. Great handling, especially around corners. Rev-happy engine DARES you to crank it up, but can get annoying. Nice fit and finish.
OK, so my 02 TL-S is in the service dept. at Superior Acura. For a loaner they gave me a 5000-mile EBP RSX 5-speed automatic with Sportshift. At last, this was my chance! I had wanted to drive and RSX ever since it was in production.

Pros: Interior fit and finish, styling, many standard features, safety, handling
Cons: in-dash changer not available on base model, stock tires stink
The Bottom Line: I researched this purchase thoroughly, and the RSX is far superior to any car in its price range. I love the combination of luxury and sport features, all standard.
I have driven a '93 probe for five years, and was ready for a new ride. My probe was running fine, but the interior was falling apart around me - just about every plastic part had broken off at one point or another. I decided to look for a nice, ...

I've been toying with the idea of trading in my SUV for a while now, and getting another sports car or sporty car. (In the past, I've owned 2 different generations of Toyota Supras, a '98 Trans-Am, a Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T, and even a Pontiac Fiero SE ...

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 ...

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...

The Bottom Line: Great car for those who long to have a Ferrari but do not want to sell their soul for it:) Great acceleration and handling.
I purchased the basic RSX model for around $20,000 which got me a 6 gear manual transmission and 200 horses. If you plan on going on a road trip buy a van. This car’s only purpose is providing its owner with an adrenalin rush.

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...

Pros: Quick, Smooth Shifting Trans. Love the body style.
Cons: Price, Poor traction in bad weather and on open grate bridges.
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a small sport coupe, I would stick with the RSX. (go for the type-S if you can afford it)
The RSX is the best car I have ever owned. Keep in mind that I owned 2 Ford Probes. I love the smooth ride and the speed. 160Hp on a 4-cyl.
The other vehicle of choice that I was looking to purchase was the 02' Toyota Celica. For the same price...

I have read some of the other reviews and all I can say is what more could you expect for the price? You are getting a great car from a LUXURY brand and along with that you get the luxury treatment at the dealership. I bought my wife a base model RSX...

Cons: Rear seating is very minimal
The Bottom Line: A great sports car for the money. Great value!
If sports cars are your thing but you don't have the bucks to dish out for a Porsche, then maybe you should take a look at this little screamer from Acura. The RSX comes in 3 models the base, premium and the TYPE-S.
The base a premium are...

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...

Pros: Excellent ergonomics, Quicker than the competition, Buttery smooth shifter and accurate steering
Cons: Lots of engine road and interior noises, braking not as inspiring as it should be
The Bottom Line: Driving this car is a blast. I put 200 miles on it the first day just driving around town. It's a little louder than I'd prefer but it's still great
Without a doubt, of all the cars I've driven this is my favorite. And I've driven quite a few. The highlight of my day is usually driving back and forth to work. As with any other car though there are a couple of things I'd change about it. Primarily...

Cons: Bumpy ride, poor subwoofer, tires too small
The Bottom Line: Since I've gotten mine, all my friends want a Type S!
Before I leased this car, I was looking at for a daily driving car that I could also have a little fun in. Performance was more important to me than exterior looks, and I wanted to be more than comfortable inside the car. I looking at the Nissan SER...

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 ...

Pros: Powerful flawless ride. No need to replace; timing belt(it has a chain), fuel filter...
Cons: None as of yet.
My 2002 RSX Type-S is hands down worth the investment. On top of outstanding performance at 100,000 miles and climbing, she is getting better with age. Maintenance; changed tires @ 64,000 miles. Front brakes @ 80,000 miles. Spark plugs (Iridium works best) 98,000 miles.

Author's Product Rating:
Recommended: Yes
Pros: 200hp. 6spd. seats. price. looks. warranty. interior. quality of build.
Cons: weak speakers(subwoofer--what subwoofer?), stock tires, standard halogen headlights.
I finally moved away from the GM vehicles to an import. And my am i glad. This car is so much fun to drive its unbelievable. The styling outside is subtle but very attractive. Not too many other cars look like the RSX. I opted for the Type S version. Even though the car is great stock, i've always been the kind of person to modify the car. So if your interested in modifying cars, this one is great for that too. (pics of my car can be found on www.cardomain.com/id/paulrsxs. The car shifts like a dream. Very characteristic of past acuras and hondas. The leather interior is very nice, seats are deap and supportive which limits sliding around during turning. The indash 6 disk changer is another plus. The speakers are a little weak though. There are so many good things to say about this car i can't say them all at once.

A FUN CAR ; SOUL OF a LUXURY CAR WITH HANDLING of a SPORTS CAR

Author's Product Rating:
Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great handling with a nice ride.
Cons: Clutch pedal is a bit stiff.
I recently bought a mint 2002 RSX Type-S (70,000 miles)outfitted with a full Xenon body kit and Big Brake upgrade, a 6-speed; just the way I lke it! No "weenie-matic" for me!!I went ahead and tweaked the car even more, adding rear fender flares, side window covers, underbody light kit, Gredy dual-looking cat-back EVOII exhaust, a powered subwoofer and full suspension upgrades with all of the strut bars, c-pillar bars, underbody bracing, header, etc. All I can say is WOW!! What an awesome car! Fast and great handling!! I also have 2 Corvettes (a Supercharged LT-4 '96 Coll. Ed. and a 427 Smallblock cid stroker '75 5-speed Stingray) , a Supercharged Porsche 911 6-speed, '71 Supercharged Chevelle SS454 5-speed, and yet my RSX is still LOADS of fun to drive and yet rides NICER than most!! Future plans include a Jackson Racing or Comptech Supercharging system along with a Greddy Fuel Management System since I do not have to send my ECM anywhere this way.

Versatile vehicle..

Author's Product Rating:
Recommended: Yes
Pros: - safe -powerful -elegant -precise design
Cons: -too tight interior cabin
Acura RSX has very comfortable seats and looks superb.. Those shapes fits the imago RSX has. Acura RSX is an ideal base to get on work with tuning. You can get a very thundering power out of the engine and still more good-looking than it is as a stock car. A good choice for those street racing enthusiasts. Side pieces and front bumber are not obligatory but they inevitably give more style! The lines of the dashboard instrumentation and uncompromising level of its quality is something you might be amazed at.
The craftsmanship and engineering is an evidence of precise work and design and materials are cutting-edge.
You can leave the park with no fears, even in events of collisions you and your occupants health are protected in the best way.

Very nice and very fast good for Honda/Acura lovers
by tooshort793

Author's Product Rating:
Recommended: Yes
Pros: Good gas mileage. A lot of power for a 4 cylinder
Cons: Small in back horrible stock tires.
This car is very nice, small but nice, I wouldent recomend this car for a family just because it is more of a toy then a family car. The 2 styles are the base model 160Hp and the Type-s 200Hp i like the type-s better because it has alot of power once it hits the I-VTEC and it is semi roomy in the front for a sports car but in the back it is very small. I recomend this for all of you street racers out there because it is very easy to fix up to make faster and it comes very fast stock!

Sweet Little Car

Author's Product Rating:
Recommended: Yes
Pros: Stylish look - Fast, yet economical - Neat Features
Cons: Harsh ride on rough roads - Limited backseat for tall folks
General:
Purchased our 2002 RSX in August 2001. Have 28K miles on the odometer now, and still enjoy the car's performance. Received many complements on the exterior and interior styling. Love the Hatchback feature, which is so convenient for hauling a large number of items. This car is definitely meant for two passengers, and the ride is bouncy on bad roads. However, on most highways it is quite comfortable. No complaints on handling.
Performance:
Cruising at 80 MPH at only 3000 RPM , easily get 32 MPG on long trips. The 160 HP engine has plenty of get up and go for most occasions. The efficiency and performance of the engine, coupled with the automatic transmission is a hard combination to beat.
Reason for Buying:
This car looks great, has so many standard features, performs well under all conditions, and all for a very competitive price.

Pros: Speed, transmission, noise, handling, 5 CD changer.
Cons: Little room in back... thats all really.
A lot of people say that a con of the car is the noise... I LOVE the noise! THe seats hold you in really good when going around those hairpin turns and the acceleration is really quick. THe only problems with mine are the lack of space on the back, which I don't really mind too much, since I'm the driver; and the wheels that come with the car, they don't grip anything but dry concrete. I bought some now ones and they work much better.

Pros: Compliment attracting seats, turns on a dime, good power and better gas mileage
Cons: Boomerang spoiler
My RSX is my ninth car (in only 3 years BTW). I'm a big Honda fan and when I bought this car near the end of '05, it became the best thing I've ever both. Super smooth looks, great handling and an engine that sings at any speed. Definitely the best car I've owned and will for a long time to come. 89k on the odometer and not even a hint of a problem in sight. Best gas mileage to date 27 City/ 40 Highway. Can't beat that with a stick.
