Complete Report Acura RSX (manual)

Based on the Honda Civic, the RSX enters its third year unchanged: The only significant 2004 update is the addition of heated side mirrors. Nevertheless, we still regard this small sports coupe as one of the most appealing in its class. Smoother and more refined than the old Acura Integra, the RSX is powered by either the base 2.0-liter, DOHC 16-valve aluminum four or a 200-hp edition that comes with the Type-S model. The former is mated with a five-speed manual gearbox, and a five-speed SportShift manumatic is an option. The 200-hp version is bolted to a six-speed manual with short shift throws and precise engagements. It’s the only transmission offered with the 200-hp engine. The Type-S is available with a pricey Factory Performance package that includes 17-inch wheels, slotted brake rotors, stiffer shocks and springs, and a spoiler.
