The Acura RSX is well-known for its reliability. Many owners have driven their RSXs over 200,000 miles without major repairs to the engine or transmission. To ensure your vehicle lasts past the 200k mark, regular maintenance is crucial. It's important to change the oil every 7,500 miles and the transmission fluid every 40,000 to 60,000 miles. Additionally, regular tune-ups should be scheduled every 6 to 12 months.

I'm considering purchasing a 2004 Type S with 222,000 miles. The car has a rebuilt engine and transmission, but I'm concerned about the condition of the axles. Should I be worried about them?

I am driving a car that is completely stock except for a K&N filter. It has clocked over 258,000 miles. My wife is the second owner and has owned it for around 16 years, I think.

Based on what everyone said, I'm really happy that I purchased my 2003 RSX-S with 193,000 miles on it even though it needs some engine work. I'm getting a new exhaust and alternator installed on Monday.

I have a 2006 RSX base model with slightly over 280,000 kilometers on it. I replace the spark plugs annually and change the oil every 8,000 kilometers. I typically get around 600-625 kilometers per tank of gas, with about 75-80% of my driving being on the highway.

I truly believe that as long as I keep up with maintenance on my 2006 RSX, including regular tuning, ensuring it has enough coolant, and putting quality tires on it, the engine will outlast the rest of the car. I've driven it for 145,000 miles and have never experienced any issues with it.

Have you all swapped out the engine yet, or are you still running on the original one?
