2003 Acura RSX Premium review from North America
"This is a cheap Honda Civic with a S2000 price tag"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The leather drive seat had to be replaced after only 9000 miles of wear!
General comments?
The is one of the the nicest looking cars that I own (I own a 93 Miata, 91 MR2 Turbo, 93 Explorer and a 92 Del Sol si). With that said this car has been a $25,000 disappointment. I got it with all of the Factory option excluding upgraded wheels and it is now after 6 months and 13,000 boring miles, worth around $17-$18,000. It is an auto-manual which was mistake one and a want-to-be sports car second which was mistake number two. On top of all of the disappoints I've had with it... the gas mileage has drop to about 20mpg and the cabin smells like...crap!
If you want a fun car try an MR2 or Miata. For UNDER $10,000 :)
