The Acura RSX legacy
When people talk about luxury sport compact vehicles, it is inevitable that the Acura RSX comes in to the conversation sooner or later. This is because of the luxury and speed it offers through its vast array or quality features. The RSX suspension has MacPherson Struts in the front and a double wishbone suspension in the rear which allows nothing but a smooth ride even at top speeds. It stays flat through corners giving a moderate understeer and through and through comfort is felt as the car seems to glide through small bumps and potholes. The RSX is fully equipped with a Kseries engine, which has a four-cylinder otto cycle engine, and DOHC valvetrains and roller rockers that reduce a considerable amount of friction. It’s a 2.0- liter engine that produces speeds of 150 horsepower at 6500 rpm and involves the VTEC. It meets the Low-Emissions Vehicle standard even at 27 miles per gallon.
The Acura RSX is actually and upgraded seventh-generation Civic coupe with a lower and wider stance. The snout has a vertical crease, which serves as an aerodynamic point. The windshield creates an arc and its lift-back design makes it a long three-door hatchback.
The dashboard is well crafted, as it is free from any unnecessary dials and buttons that is a hassle found in a lot of new cars. The top of it is lined with textured aluminum and the front seats sort of “hug” the occupants.
The Acura RSX is best for the individual that wants a sports car without too much horsepower. It is dependable, sleek and still is in a very reasonable price range. Although it is very reliable, it was production was discontinued after 2006 because of its overlapping products and unclear brand identity. To find an Acura RSX would mean a visit to the second hand car dealer.
