The most important thing to know about the Acura rsx is that It's quick and fun.
My 2005 Acura rsx has been the most reliable vehicle anyone could ask for. A 13 years and 130, 000 miles the car drives and feels like new. The only work needs was new suspension a 100, 000 miles as could be expected.

It is very reliable and you will never have to replace the clutch.
It has over 120, 000 miles and has never had any major problems. The small back seats could discourage some drivers.

Dependable vehicle. Requires little maintenance.
Very dependable. Never had any major problems. 5 speed, decent pick up. Decent room in hatchback. The only negative comment I have is a very poor turning radius.

Its fast and Manuel and I love it. I don't like that it's basically a 2 seater but I still love it. I wish they had a four door 6 cylinder rest but they do have the to.

I drive it for the great gas mileage and because it's unlikely to get stolen since it's a manual.
I love that it's a manual, the interior is more worn than I'd like.
