What Owners are Saying About the 2003 Acura RSX
"06 rsx type s"
"I love this car it’s my first Honda/Acura k series I studied this car in and out when I bought it! I have 280,000 miles on the car. I drive back n fourth to North Carolina and Ohio all the time. Maintenance is super cheap and car is reliable it’s pretty fast stock. I’ve done some upgrades to it never touched the motor tho and I can’t get off this this I race this everytime I get in the car could be another con/ everyone that sees you tries to race you too lol. But anyway I literally beat the brakes off this car non stop and it won’t brake at 280,000 I might have to get a new clutch soon but it’s an affordable part and I’ll even get a stronger one than stock. But I love this car I can’t brake it I’ve tried. It doesn’t flinch I bang limiter, roll backs still, rolls, drag pulls, I slam gears redline all my gears a lot! I change my fluids every 3k flush all that and she goes n goes !"
"good car"
"Vary economical gets 35mpg city and 40mpg highway, very well built - the tires lasted 13 years and still had tread on them, but they were a little hard so had to get new ones. Very little maintenance needed due to being very well built and use of good materials. I wish Acura still made this car, as I would buy another."
"2 years of fun"
"After owning two mustangs, I took this car for a test drive...I was immediately hooked. The RSX-S made my mustangs feel sluggish. This car has never given me any problems, and I use it as my daily driver. It is also very fuel efficient, reliably getting 30 mpg, no small feat given my driving style. I have raced it in one autocross event, getting first place in my class. The hatchback is convenient, and the seats lay down for hauling odd-shaped or large items (I once put a christmas tree in it). Overall, I've been very pleased with this car."
