If you're bargain shopping for a used, fun and reliable sports car, make sure to include an used Acura RSX on your hunt. Introduced in 2002, the RSX served as Acura's entry-level car that targeted buyers who wanted an affordable mix of high performance and luxury. This hatchback coupe was essentially the fourth-generation of the widely popular Integra, which was renamed as the RSX during a time when Acura was revamping the brand. The RSX ceased production in 2006, so finding a used model is the only way to get your hands on one. Here are 6 facts about the Acura RSX to help with your search:

1. The base model comes with 2.0 liter, four-cylinder engine and is rated at 160 horsepower (also known as "hp"). In 2006, Acura reduced the rating to 155 hp due to stricter engine testing. Transmission choices include a five-speed automatic or a five-speed manual.
2. The high-performance Type-S model also comes with a 2.0 liter, four-cylinder engine. The 2002-2004 models are rated at 200 hp. Acura tweaked the engine in 2005, which boosted it to 210 hp. For 2006, Acura reduced the rating to 201 hp, again due to stricter engine testing. A 6-speed manual is the only transmission choice.
3. The RSX comes standard with plenty of luxury goodies such as automatic climate control, a moonroof, keyless entry, and split folding rear seats. The Type-S adds bigger rims and wheels, a stiffer suspension, standard leather seating (optional on the base model), and a Bose stereo system with 6-disc in-dash CD changer.
4. In 2005, the RSX received a large number of styling and performance enhancements, including swifter steering capability, an increase in braking rigidity and four new exterior colors.
5. The RSX is only available as a four-passenger, two-door coupe. The TSX is Acura's entry-level sedan.
6. The RSX does have a few recalls and service bulletins, including a grinding issue with the manual transmission, so make sure to do your research. For a complete list of recalls and service bulletins, ask your local Acura dealer or visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's website at http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ .

There are many more extravagances to owning an used Acura RSX, but this should give you a general scope if you're looking for that unique fit.
