2003 Acura RSX Type S review from North America
"Ever have an adolescent stare at your vehicle in awe. Buy this car and find out"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
Very well appointed, it comes loaded with everything that is normally considered optional.
Bose stereo is extremely nice, you really have to crank it up though to hear it when windows and hatch are open.
Watch your rpm's though, it really charges up fast past 4000 rpms. I've hit the rev limiter twice without meaning to. Yikes! Very fun though.
Very satisfying to dust off cars costing twice as much and less well equipped.
