The rear seat is not much use if the front passengers are over 6ft. Very little head/leg room. But you don’t buy this type of car to haul 4 people around. But in a pinch I’ve had 4 in there, and I’m 6’4”. see full Acura RSX review |

Excellent 2.0 liter. Sky high 8100 redline! 6 speed manual transmission. The motor loves to rev, it’s a blast to drive at redline. see full Acura RSX review |

Not a torque monster, but the Type-S model really opens up at the upper end of the rpm range. More than enough power to break the law, but with decent gas mileage. And, of course, the silky-smooth shifter action. see full Acura RSX review |

2005 | 2dr Hatch 210-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
210HP 8300rpm red line is responsive, loves to rev and scream oh so smooth. Shifter positions are clean and crisp. see full Acura RSX review |

Surprisingly quick for just 160hp, but then the car only weighs about 2800 lbs. Revs very quickly. The 5 speed means less shifting in traffic, and its action is typical Honda goodness. see full Acura RSX review |

Underpowered, even for a small car. I expect 200 HP these days and anything less feels mediocre. see full Acura RSX review |
