The Acura RSX
The Acura RSX, also known as the Honda Integra DC5 in some markets, is a compact sports coupe produced by Acura, the luxury division of Honda. It was introduced in 2002 as a replacement for the Acura Integra, which was discontinued in the United States after the 2001 model year. The RSX was designed to offer a sporty driving experience, stylish design, and a range of features at a more affordable price compared to other luxury coupes.
Acura RSX Brief Overview
The Acura RSX featured a sleek and modern design, with clean lines and a sporty stance. It was built on a modified version of the Honda Civic platform but featured unique styling cues to set it apart as an Acura model. The RSX was typically offered with two engine options. The base model came with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing around 160 horsepower. The higher-performance Type-S variant was equipped with a 2.0-liter i-VTEC four-cylinder engine that generated approximately 200 horsepower. The Type-S engine had a higher redline and sportier tuning, making it the preferred choice for driving enthusiasts. Acura offered both manual and automatic transmissions for the RSX. Enthusiasts often favored the 6-speed manual transmission, which provided a more engaging driving experience.
The Acura RSX gained popularity among driving enthusiasts for its nimble handling, rev-happy engine, and overall fun-to-drive nature. It has also become a sought-after used car for those seeking an affordable and reliable sporty coupe with a touch of luxury. As the RSX is no longer in production, those interested in the model can find well-maintained used examples in the market. However, it’s essential to ensure its compatibility with local regulations and specifications if you reside outside of the United States or other markets where the RSX was sold.
