2004 Acura RSX Review:

The RSX is the least expensive model on the Acura lot, but you won’t be seeing anyone trying to pawn off one of theirs because it’s cheap. After all, it is made by Acura, which is a division of Honda. And most people know by now that Honda cars last a long, long time.

As a sporty coupe, the RSX is given the type of performance that can often lead to some pretty high speeds being generated. To balance this, the makers at Acura equipped the RSX with a tight handling package, as well as a solid frame that withstands the force of impacts.

They also gave the RSX a dual-stage airbag system that includes front and side airbags. Sensors in the front passenger's seat determine the occupant's height and seating position. If the occupant is of small stature and leaning into the side airbag deployment path, this sensor will prevent the side airbag from deploying.

Under the Hood

Base models use a 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder engine. It generates 160 horsepower at 6500 rpm and 141 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm. Customers looking at the entry-level RSX will have a choice between 5-speed manual and 5-speed automatic transmissions. The automatic setup features the added fun of a manual-shift model for when your hands get too restless at the wheel.

The RSX Type-S is the model to pick up if you want increased power and performance. Under its hood is a 2.0-liter I4 that punches out 200 horsepower at 7400 rpm and 142 lb-ft of torque at 6000 rpm. It uses a 6-speed manual transmission with a short throw shifter and a short clutch-pedal stroke for effortless gear changes.

Both RSX models feature a suspension system that has been upgraded for 2004. The front strut and double-wishbone rear system has been optimized on the Type-S with firmer springs and dampers, giving it even greater responsiveness and road feel.

Standard Features, Options Packages and Style

Acura equips the RSX with a generous 17.8-cubic foot rear cargo area. It also has a 50/50 rear seat that swells the total to 25.3 cubic feet.

A 6-speaker audio system with an in-dash CD player is standard. Type-S models upgrade that to a Bose system with a six-disc changer.

Type-S models also have leather upholstery, which is optional with base RSX models.
