2002 Acura RSX - A reliable hatchback for all of your daily needs

The Acura RSX is an reliable, quick and great handling hatchback. It has a really nice modern, sporty look that a lot of cars in the same price range lack. It has a great handling and enough power to get you to your destination. I've driven this car for over a decade and I'm about to hit 200,000 miles. It's still going strong and the styling and aesthetics still seem up to date. The car is a pleasure to drive. I've used it as a commuter and on long road trips.

Story

On long road trips, I'd often sleep in the trunk with a pillow and blanket. When I fold the seats down, I can lie down comfortably. Saved me some money on a hotel.

Pros

The most positive aspect of the car has to be the ample trunk space. You can fold down the rear 2 seats and carry all of your belongings. I was able to fit 4 large suitcases and all of my groceries. During college, I used this car to move all of my belongings including several pieces of furniture. The trunk space is just a huge feature that has always accommodated my needs. Other features include power windows, stereo/CD player, and a moon roof. It's very comfortable in the driver seat as everything is adjustable such as the seat, steering wheel, etc. The RSX also has great gas mileage.

Cons

The most negative thing about the vehicle would actually be the rear passenger seats. It is pretty cramped back there for passengers as some have their heads hitting the top of the trunk lid. It's not very comfortable back there. The leather and cloth material on the ceiling has worn out and ripped/cracked. The durability on the interior seems to be sub-par.

2002 Acura RSX - Small package, good performance and all about the driving experience.

The Acura RSX is such and underrated car that it is rarely seen on the road. The Type-S trim adds excellent performance in a car that is small and driver focused. Due to the older age of the vehicle, much of the car is about driving and allows the driving to feel connected to the car and connected to the road. The six-speed manual transmission adds an element of excitement when driving. The tachometer reaches 7900 RPMs, which is pure enjoyment as you push the engine to these limits. The car does not have the same modern technology that you would see today but that's the beauty. The pure simplicity makes it fun to drive. From the factory, this car has about 200 horsepower, and you're able to use every bit of it as you fly around town. This car does not have a lot of the modern amenities... (more)

Story

I was at my home washing my car in the driveway and received some unsolicited complements on the looks of the vehicle.

Pros

Performance, handling, small package, fun to drive, affordable.

Cons

No temperature sensor, no heated seats, could use a little more performance.
