Quick Spin: High-Strung Fun

What benefits does the 2005 Acura RSX have over other sport coupes?
One thing is cargo space. The RSX offers 16 cubic feet and has the versatility of a hatch, whereas many competing models offer a trunk with less room. Also, the RSX provides a 4-year/50,000 mile warranty coupled with Acura customer service at the dealership.

Are significant rebates available on the RSX?
Acura hasn’t jumped on the rebate bandwagon so far. Occasionally, the company will offer low-rate financing or dealer incentives, but it’s highly unlikely you’ll find a big rebate on any Acura product any time soon. However, RSX models have done very well with resale value, so while the purchase price may be higher, what you get out of it at trade-in time will likely compensate for the initial expense. This also makes the RSX a good candidate for leasing, since a higher residual value translates to lower lease payments.
