Vehicle Highlights
Acura's entry-level car carries into 2004 virtually unchanged. RSX is a 2-dr hatchback coupe sold in base and sportier Type-S trim. Both have 2.0-liter 4-cyl engines. The 160-hp base model offers a 5-speed manual or optional 5-speed automatic transmission. The 200-hp Type-S comes only with a 6-speed manual. It also has a firmer suspension but the same 16-inch wheels and tires as the base model. Both versions include antilock 4-wheel disc brakes and front side airbags, plus automatic climate control, sunroof, and, new for '04, heated mirrors. Leather upholstery is standard for Type-S and optional on the base RSX. The Type-S also comes with an in-dash CD changer.
