2002 Acura RSX Type-S FWDReview
Good Daily Driver Car — This was my first brand new car that I've ever bought. after 280,000 miles and 10 years of ownership, this car is still going strong like day one. Maybe simply because I have used Mobile1 Synthetic motor oil every oil change. This is a perfect car for commuting or a weekend of spirited driving. I never had any major issues with this car, besides regular maintenance. Too bad I'm growing out of it, and upgrade to a more luxurious and sportier ride. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: The Revving sound of the Engine when I go WOT Cons: I'm growing out of it. It's been a car for my youthful years, and will miss it dearly when I get rid of her. It's time for an upgrade Looking for a Used RSX in your area?CarGurus has 291 nationwide RSX listings starting at $2,000. |

Fun, Affordable, Quick Little Acura — Great car, purchased in Nov 2001 and driven until Aug 2012. No major maintenance problems or issues during the 120k miles I racked up on it. Sad to see it discontinued, but wouldn't be surprised to see a new successor pop up in the near future. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Fun, affordable, quick little acura Cons: FWD |

2002 Acura RSX FWD with LeatherReview
Amazing Car Since I Drove It Off The Lot At 16 — I love my RSX. I've babied it since the day I bought it when I turned 16. It has great styling, everything inside and out is exactly where it should be, and it's very efficient without under-powered. It has been a great match to my personality. Car looks great, much better than the other coupes in its price range like the Civics, Cobalts, Focuses, Corollas, etc... The factory aero kit and side skirts on mine give it a nice sporty look without going too Fast and the Furious. Car has almost never been to the shop. In 90k+ miles, it has had one minor interior leather quick fix (under warranty), and one starter replacement after 70k miles. Maintenance on it is very easy. I've been changing oil and cleaning air filter on my own the entire time. As for performance, I believe it was MotorTrend that announced it as the best handling front wheel drive car they'd ever driven when it came out, and I can attest. It's wonderfully light and nimble, and the perfect balance between spacious and outright boat-like (like most of current generation cars are). Engine-wise, yeah, the 200 hp Type-S engine would be nice, but I actually prefer the 5-speed manual over the 6 in the Type-S, and as long as you're in the proper gear, the car has plenty of get up and go for real driving conditions (60 mph achievable in 2nd gear, 90 mph in 3rd). And last but not least, you have to love that it's relatively short production run has helped keep its resale value up. After 10 years I could still get nearly half of what I paid for it brand new. Good luck finding that in any other car! Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Best handling front-wheel drive car I've ever driven (MotorTrend agreed in 2002). Nice power over 4,500 RPM. Great gas mileage. Quality feel inside and out. Great styling. Fantastic cargo room with or without rear seats down. Cons: Lack of low RPM torque. |

Black Pearl Rsx — If I didn't have a family this car would be ideal as an every day car. The car is reliable and gets great gas mileage. I love the style and perfomance that Acura delivers. Really a lot of fun to drive. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Gas mileage Cons: Not a family car |

Good For Daily Use — Its a fun little car. 200hp but little drag when the a/c is on. Grips the road on turns. Sleek body style. However I'm disappointed with the leather seats up front. They dont hold well and tend to rip Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: sexy body style Cons: not as fast as it looks |

2002 Acura RSX Type-S FWDReview
Overall Awesome, And Since The Integra Nameplate Is Retired, The Car Is A Legend. — there is nothing on earth which can compare to smoking an 80,000 dollar porsche in a honda that cost 1/8th that much money. Sure, there are cars that are quicker in the straights, but by sacrificing a measly quarter mile claim, Honda has built a vehicle that EXCELS in 3 other categories: handling, overall performance, and reliability. Thats really what matters, right? I mean I guarantee I could throw in a set of 5.0 final drives and smoke almost anyone in the 1/4, but why bother? the car is sooooo much fun as it is... Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: This is as much fun as you can have in a car for under 100k, and it only costs 10. Cons: weak 3rd and 5th gears, fixed in the 05-06...also front macpherson struts bother me on a honda. |

Fun Car — Nice pocket rocket for city drive. Good on mileage, 2L vtec engine is good on customization but I like to stick to stock. Good for two people, never used the back row seats. No good for the second row any ways. I love the body line cues. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Sleek, good for shot trips Cons: Not for family ride... |

2002 Acura RSX FWDReview
I Love This Car — it performs well for a base rsx, its fast enough to pass on the freeway and fast enough to have fun around town. Other then a lot of road noise and kinda stiff suspension, its a honda engine so you pretty much know what to expect. Other then a drop I dont really need to do anything to the exterior, I love the way it looks stock. Great gas mileage, honda parts are cheap. It handles really well, nothing like taking corners way over the suggested speed without fear of losing control. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: its quick, looks good, and has honda reliability Cons: if you have the money, go for the type s |
