Used 2003 Acura RSX for Sale near Ontario

Front-wheel drive and plenty practical while very sporty. While it is not a mid-engine supercar, it is really fun to drive fast. The car is also really kind to every-day activities like parking, sitting in traffic, buying stuff, putting stuff into your car, and even taking friends places. It's not luxury sedan, but has room for a couple of average sized people in the back. The regular RSX is quick and the RSX Type-S is fast. However, the regular old RSX tends to feel faster around town since it's engine is geared for more torque- so you get more ooomph from the engine right away. That means no waiting for the power to build with the rpms. However, IF you get the Type-S, it rewards you with intensely high revs and great handling. The Type-S also has a really fun and friendly gearbox and clutch that just beg to play. Both are great, but I would opt for the Type-S.

Great overall car right out of the box. Great for anyone looking to get into better than average performance. The Type-S is able to reach 140 mph in its stock form. This car stock is better than pre K20 Civic SIs. The Good: -Close the sunroof and feel the car get slicker as it loses resistance climbing ever higher towards its top speed. -The Stock 6 disk CD changer and cassette by BOSE complete with 8" Sub that mounts in the hub of the spare tire. -Leather interior, 6 speed manual, steering that tightens as you go faster, and wipers that do the same. -No more timing belt - K series uses a chain that doesnt have to be replaced for the life of the engine. The Less than Good: -The cable shift is a little finicky - just by itself - Honda did better with the cable shift 5 speeds. -2nd gear in the tranny tends to grind if your not careful how you shift. (2nd gear kits are available aftermarket.) -Spark Plugs are expensive - the correct ones last forever but will run you over $15/each. -CV Drive Shafts are impossible to find Aftermarket - be ready to get OE parts from Acura/Honda dealers. (hopefully this changes before long)

acceleration for a 4cylinder is good, braking is decent, and handling is above average. build quality is better than german or american cars, though the doors sounds like an empty can when you close it. cost owndership is low. avg mpg is 27 and no reparis required so far at 100k other than regular maintenance. it is fun to drive!

Great engine, great steering feel, great seating position and ergonomics. Amazingly fun to drive. Sad they discontinued it.

I leased the RSX-S for three years and absolutely loved the car. Externally it's beautiful: very sleek with clean lines. The deep metallic blue color was especially striking, and always stood out in a crowd. Inside the car had great leather seats and a modern silver with red backlight instrument cluster. I wish the US models came with heated seats, but it appears that only the Canadian models had that feature. I also didn't like the bucket seats - it was impossible to reach into the back seat to grab something. But I think the bucket seats add to the sportiness of the car. The engine was really exciting, and I'm not one to normally get excited about engines. It revs up really high, especially when you have the stick-shift model that I had, and it was a lot of fun to drive. I think the RSX is a great quality car. It's a relatively affordable car that you can feel cool driving up to any club or restaurant's Valet service.
