Got an 02 RSX 5 spd today!
So the timing belt in my crx went and its a complete loss (inquire if you want to buy the shell with stock rims 
)... so I had to make a decision, did some shopping online and in person and got a bit educated and went ahead and got a 2002 Acura RSX 2.0 iVTEC. Its 5 spd, loaded, and has only 57k miles on it... I had a budget to stick to and stayed at it (~$250/month).
Anywho, here are the pix... I plan on keeping it fairly stock.
I really enjoy it, and knew I wanted to get it BEFORE I popped the hood and found out it was VTEC (I didnt know the engine info honestly, I didnt do any shopping for RSX's, just mostly Civic's and Subie RS's...). Anywho, its a nice car and I'm excited to have it. Makes my CRX look and feel silly and I loved that thing to death (literally!!!)

The looks of the RSX have aged well IMO, I wasn't hugely fond of them at first but they have grown on me so much.
It really looks great, nice choice :thumbup:
I could be more jealous, but not by much
P.S. (I'm sure it will be mentioned/brought to your attention at some point) You may not have the type S with 40 more hp but that base with 160 has an extremely good torque curve for a 2.0L You'll have lots of fun with it.

thank you I've got nothing but compliments from my friends locally and on-line about this.
I had a choice between a 2dr Civic that was in decent shape for a few g's less or this, and I got a good deal on this thing and its EXACTLY what I wanted! Its just a bone stock RSX to the die-hard fans on here, but to me its a huge step in the right direction coming from my battle torn CRX. Heated leather seats are a very nice feature, only thing I need is the rear hatch deck
it didnt come with one! and the ONLY thing I may want to do is put the small lip style spoiler on it, I think they look sleek and nice!
