The Acura RSX, produced from 2002 to 2006, is a two-door, front-engine, front-wheel-drive sports coupe that built upon the legacy of the Honda Integra, replacing it as the brand's performance-oriented offering. This second generation of the RSX marked a significant shift in design philosophy, moving away from the angular, boxy styling of its predecessor towards a more rounded and fluid aesthetic. While still retaining the Integra's underpinnings, the RSX showcased a refined exterior with a lower and wider stance, featuring a sloping roofline, a prominent front grille with Acura's signature "beak," and sculpted body lines that emphasized its sporty nature. Under the hood, the RSX was available in two engine options: a 2.0-liter i-VTEC four-cylinder producing 160 horsepower in the base model and a 2.0-liter K20A i-VTEC four-cylinder generating 200 horsepower in the Type S variant. Both engines were praised for their smooth power delivery and responsiveness, particularly the Type S, which was known for its aggressive acceleration and high-revving capabilities. The RSX also featured a well-balanced chassis that provided agile handling and confident cornering dynamics. Despite its sporty intentions, the RSX also offered a surprisingly comfortable ride for everyday driving, making it a versatile vehicle that appealed to a wide range of enthusiasts.
