2004 Acura RSX User Reviews

Pros

Quick, Great Handling, Reliability & Re-sale

Cons

Ride is WAY rough, Stock wheel/tire combo

If you're looking for a sub 25K PERFORMANCE car, look no further. If you're looking for LUXURY, this is not the car for you. Plenty quick when you wind the engine out. I've taken on turbo 4's, 6's & 'stang GT's & Z28's. My car has beaten or hung with them all. It carves up roads like a knife going through hot butter. Due to the sport-tuned suspension, this thing is painful after a long road-trip or a jaunt through any city. You feel EVERY SINGLE crevis and crack in the road.
I have the Type S and the only thing I would've requested was 17's or 18's to distinguish from the base RSX. Acura has cured that with the '05 RSX's. Other than that, step on the gas, shift through the 6 gears and enjoy the ride!!!...read morehide

Pros

Decent fuel economy, decent warranty, decent pick up

Cons

Decent, decent, decent ... Nothing amazing.

I have an Acura 2002 RSX, and it's a fine car. Doesn't make me thrilled to get in and drive, but it does a great job at getting me around, and my friends seem to be impressed by it.

I bought my rsx in may of this year and already ive put 21k on it...i absoulty love it...the his and her shifter is just awesome...it really comes in handy when you need to quickly accelerate...the style, the handling, the little features like the light by the cup holder all make this car what it is...its like my house...i love it therefore i dont mind making the mtg payment...im sold on acura and from here on out i wouldnt want anything else.......read morehide

Like many of the people that wrote reviews, I am a loyal Honda owner. I have been for years. The last Honda I had was a '96 Civic. It had 115,000 miles with zero problems.
I just bought a 2004 RSX base model (160 HP), manual transmission, with leather.
I cannot say enough good things about the car. Fit and finish. The layout of the controls is excellent. The transmission is very snappy and sure. The acceleration is soooo smooth! Steering is nimble. The handling is superb! And I am comparing it to a BMW 318i that I owned!
I also have to agree with some of the other writers of reviews on the stereo system. Weak bass...

I love the rsx type-s i bought it two days ago when i was driving around i raced 3 2001 integras type r they are slow rsx is way faster and better looking i beat a 300ZX, mustang, eclipse turbo,and some other accords any other cars bring it on

Had the RSX 5-Sp Auto., Leather since Jan. 03, had problem with the alignment of the driver side door (slightly lowered), got it fixed twice to get it right but can hear wind noise; wind humming noise at the passenger windshield wiper when traveling 70+.... RSX should put on better performance tires!!!!!!...read morehide

Overall quality of the car is excellent. The performance is top notch from the engine and brakes. The fit and finish is great. After 13,000 miles I have only had one problem

THIS CAR IS GREAT, IT HANDLES SO WELL AND ACCELERATES VERY QUICKLY. I LOVE THE STYLE TOO, IT CAN FIT 4 PEOPLE VERY COMFORTABLY. THIS IS DEFINATLY THE BEST CAR THAT YOU CAN BUY FOR THE PRICE. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS CAR TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR AN ENTRY LEVEL LUXORY SPORTS COUPE!!!!!

TOO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR, GEARS GRIND, SENSORS GOING OUT, RIDES LIKE A TANK, CHEAP INTERIOR......QUALITY?....HAH....NEVER AGAIN

I just got my RSX yesterday. IT IS GREAT! It drives fast and turns are very stable... I purchased the automatic with leather and with the 160hp, it's much more than enough. Before I purchased this car, I was looking at the new Scion (toyota) tC. It's a new sports coup and cheaper than RSX... but after I test drove, I found RSX is much better. Customer service for acura is also much better than scion (the separate the toyota group with the scion group.. so there are usually 2-3 scion salesperson in each toyota dealership.. because there are too many ppl inquiring for scion so it's hard to get good customer service. At least I went to 4 scion dealerships and I got bad services in all of them. So I went to acura and wow, their service is excellent, and the car is great. There is no reason that I don't get a RSX!)

Many people think tC will replace RSX, but I don't think this can ever happen.
I LOVE RSX!...read morehide
