cute and fun

It's a bit small and a coupe. Interior styling was really nice--lots of knobs and fine touches. Car drove a little rough and was not comfy for long rides. Not good in snow or rain--slippy. Fun to drive but needed the bigger engine. No mechanical problems at all but sold it at 50K for an upgrade.

Best Car I Have Ever Owned

I have loved every minute of owning this car. I just got into modifying cars, and it has been a blast doing so with this car. Emissions functions have not been touched, just suspension and aesthetics, and I have enjoyed learning about cars with this little car. Has a lot of pep, and handles great! Super easy to learn manual on, and it has a brand new clutch in it. It will continue to run well, and whoever is lucky enough to snag this car, I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Most fun car I drove in the same tier

Very reliable in terms of major driving job, fun to drive. Some small issues like power lock of doors, sensors seem to be out of order from time to time.

Fun to Drive and reliable

This car has met all of my needs for 15 years. The RSX Type-S has the extra performance over the base model, and is still a very reliable car. I have seen RSX's approaching 200,000 miles. It also gets 30+ MPG on the highway at 70 -75 mph.

Fun Car for Cheap

I loved owning this car. It's the absolutely best money for performance you can buy. With only a few upgrades, it looks fantastic and performs amazingly. On top of this, the rear trunk space and practical nature of the car, make it a well rounded vehicle.

Extremely reliable!

I love the RSX, I wish Acura would bring it back! It?s surprisingly roomy, you can fit a lot in it with the back seats down. It?s good on gas, especially for how quick and sporty it is. Mine has over 200k miles and it?s still going strong!

Fun and sporty

Even though this is more of a summer car. It has never let me down in the winter. We've thru many blizzards together. Definitively a great car.

Very reliable

Dependable, fuel efficient, inexpensive, did I say dependable? Comfortable but not overly roomy for long trips.
