Acura changed little for the 2004 RSX, preferring to leave its popular, entry-level coupe the same as the previous year. Available at the base trim or as the more powerful Type S, the 2004 RSX kept its reputation as a good car to drive and to tune.
The 2004 RSX is meant to house a manual transmission, and the stick shift comes standard on the base trim, and is the only option on the Type-S. The 2.0-liter I4 is rated at 160 horsepower for the base, and at 200 horsepower for the Type-S. Torque for each is right around 140 lb-ft.
Mileage is estimated at 27/33 for the standard coupe, 25/34 for the automatic, and 24/31 for the Type-S.
Drivers love the engine of this car, including the acceleration, handling, and tunability. There have been many complaints about road noise and about rattling from within the car.
4.6 Overall rating
(65 reviews)Good acceleration, and pretty good suspension, even for the base model. The Vtec really helps both with power and gas mileage. Barely uses any gas, and it's decently sporty. Overall the car is perfect for what it was made for.
I love this car, great performance, VTEC from 50 km/h to Top Speed.
Fun car. Great all around. Great balance of ride, performance and sportiness. The steering is precise and provides great feedback. The transmission is crisp and fast. Handling is crisp but not harsh. Smooth engine. the VTEC provides great response throughout the entire RPM range.
Fantastic little sports coupe. Plenty of standard features that are options on more expensive cars. Handling is superb, regardless of the FWD layout. Simple clean good looks. No racy, spoilers, splitters, or exaggerated lines. Effortless acceleration in any gear. VTEC is amazing... winding the car up in the lower gears is hard to resist. Beautiful interior, excellent driving position, well bolstered sport seats. Six speed transmission is a pleasure to use. Hatchback design makes this/that more practical. Aftermarket tuning options are endless.
Great Car! Good fuel mileage, good performance, stylish looks.
