The 2002 Acura RSX

The RSX and the RSX Type-S are the next step in the evolution of the luxury sport coupe, with so many changes and features; you’ll never miss the Integra.

The new RSX Type-S features short front and rear overhangs for a strong, muscular look. Large 16-inch alloy wheels with high performance Michelin tires insure confident, sporty handling. The low restriction exhaust system, delivers a throaty powerful sound, that rises and falls as you move through the short throw, close ratio, six-speed manual transmission.

An all-new, all-alloy 2.0 liter 4 cylinder engine utilizing our latest technology powers the RSX Type-S. This dual overhead cam engine improves on our legendary VTEC system with the addition of Variable Timing Control (VTC). This is responsible for the “i” in the new i-VTEC motors. This allows the Type-S version to produce 200 hp and meet the stringent LEV II emissions regulations. The standard RSX uses a version of the Type-S engine but produces 160 hp and can be mated to either a 5 speed manual or 5-speed automatic with our Sequential SportShift. Some of the standard luxury features in the Type-S include the power moonroof, Acura / Bose Music System, with a 6-disc in-dash CD changer, leather trimmed sport seats, and keyless entry with our Immobilizer system for more peace of mind. The metallic faced gauges are backlit and glow red at night for a unique new look and all the controls fall easily to hand. You have an all-new climate controlled air-conditioning system to keep your environment perfectly comfortable, there’s even a micron air filter to filter our pollen and dust.

Your standard safety features include, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, side airbags, dual speed front airbags, and deformable crush zones around a sturdy passenger safety cell.
