2002 Acura RSX Type-S review from North America

White nylon string found dangling from a door panel, a little snip and it pulled itself back into the door.

I purchased this vehicle in Sept. of 2001 with the full ground effects/spoiler package as I feel without them the car looks kind of silly, and with them it gives the vehicle a more aggressive style.

The vehicle accelerates very quickly and at about 5000 RPM the power really kicks in. If there is a downside to this, it is that the drive wheels can break loose easily, which is great if you wanna burn out, not so great if you are trying to get a hole-shot.

The car handles great around town and on the highway, and with the 6-speed transmission it is easy to find yourself running 90-100 MPH with little effort.

The interior noise can be a bit loud under high RPM, but it is a nice throaty sound.

The interior practically wraps itself around you with good side support and average lower back support. There is plenty of leg room for tall people as well, though only small children will be comfortable in the back seat.

The trunk is a very roomy hatchback which was a surprise to me at first, but I have grown to enjoy it. When the rear seats are folded down there is ample room for most anything.

The stereo system comes with a 6CD/Tape player and a nice sub-woofer, and sounds excellent though the sub could use a bit more bass.
