- Hatch supports stopped working by 26,000 km.
- lost use of both turn signals at 33,000 - fixed a sensor.
A great performer given the size of the engine and it's great fuel economy.
Great handling although the ride can be a little rough with performance tires (no fault of Acura).
A surprisingly huge cargo area when the seats are folded down. A full size dresser can easily fit in the back with the hatch closed.
Heated leather seats are great, but multiple settings would be nice.
Shifts smooth and effortlessly.
There is a bizarre cult following among younger RSX drivers.
Original poster here. 125,000 km. on the car now. Still have original front brake rotors and the factory pads lasted until 95,000 km. The rear pads and rotors were changed at 122,000 km. No major maintenance outside of putting a clamp around the heat shield when it came loose (took 3 minutes). Overall, it's been reliable (knock on wood).
My only complaint is that the hood release failed. Acura charged me an hour's labour to diagnose the problem and then gave a written estimate in the neighbourhood of $850. I took it to a body shop who made due with the original parts and charged me $20.
