I have been doing some research about 2002 2003 rsx, both type s and regular models. Def. going manual. But all i have been able to find review wise is good comments. Now this car cant be all good something (other than the sound system) has to be bad or not so good (and abs which im not a big fan of). SO does ne1 have an rsx, driven one, or has a friend who could give me a few honest opinions about it.

Thanks alot

get the type-s and dont look back....

they are sweet ass cars, and i've looked into getting one. If you can deal with fwd and it being a honda then go for it.

Ohhhhhhh yaaaaaaa. I want one so bad. I think I am going with the new TSX by the end of this year though.

Have you checked the reviews on places such as www.edmunds.com and autos.msn.com they usually give pretty good reviews about the good and the bad. If there is something they dont like, they will definately tell you about it. Just a suggestion.:)

Check this out.. Read the Pros and Cons, Report Card, etc.

i was unimpressed. the styling is alright, looks a bit cheap to me honestly. the car i believe was overrated. everyone said it was gonig to be the next ITR.. and well... its deffinitaly not. its fwd, which i cannot stand in a performance car(yes including mine). ive raced a few at the track, beat them all. some were modded, one not. handling i cannot honestly say anything about good or bad cause i have not driven one. i sat in one, didnt feel right. theres something about the car... i just cant put my finger on. it really turns me off

Lets put it this way - 2k extra for 40 hp - hmmm, let me think - this is almost the same as paying the extra couple thousand to get the Civic SI which has 35 more hp than the Civic EX.
I say go for it - the type S is ssswwweeeettt.

if your gonna get one I say go with the type S if your gonna get one. But I have never really looked into one b/c it is a bit outta my range. But I like most Acuras

I test drove a 2002 a while back and I didn't like the way the car felt. I can't really put it into words, I just didn't feel connected with the car. It didn't feel natural. Make sure you put in a test drive before you decide what you want.
