2003 Acura RSX Type S review from North America
"Disappointed at Acura quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver side window is malfunctioning. Gear shift top was scratched.
Headliner was stained.
Car pulls very hard to the right when braking... dangerous.
Seats uncomfortable on trips over an hour.
Paint quality is questionable, clear coat scratches very easily.
General comments?
Car has decent acceleration, but lacks low end power. Need to get high revs to get it to go... and I have the Type S.
Gauges look very nice at night.
Fit and finish is not what I would expect from Acura, have had too many problems with the car.
Car has braking problem or tire problems. When braking at low speeds, it grabs the grooves in the road and pulls hard to the right.
I have thought about selling the car... very disappointed.
