Acura RSX Insurance

The Acura RSX is a sportier model of the Acura Integra that was debuted in 2002 to compete with cars like the Audi TT, the BMW 325Ci, and the Mercedes C230. With an initial MSRP of between $19,500 and $23,000, the Acura RSX is more comparable – competitively speaking – to the Celica, the Eclipse, and the GTI. The four-cylinder, 160 hp, 6,500rpm engine gives the Acura RSX the potential for quick acceleration. A six-speed transmission makes the Acura RSX easy to handle and fun to drive.  

Insurance costs for the Acura RSX are manageable with an average monthly premium for the 2003 model at around $123, according to Automobile Magazine.

Acura RSX safety features & insurance

The Acura RSX safety features include dual front and side airbags, a New Car Assessment Program rating of five stars, and a rating of "good" from the Institute for Highway Safety for front end collisions. Like the Acura Integra, the Acura RSX is built on a Honda Civic frame and carries the excellent reputation for performance and safety of the Honda Civic with it. 

Despite the excellent safety features built into the Acura RSX, the fact that it is marketed for sport and performance and the fact that it is based on the most frequently stolen car in America (the Acura Integra) make this vehicle a bit more expense to insure than a more pedestrian sedan. Still, the expected yearly cost for insurance is estimated to be around $1,478, which is lower than the national average of around $1,812.

Acura RSX and theft insurance

Keyless entry and an engine immobilizing system make the Acura RSX harder to steal than the more problematic Acura Integra. Even so, the parts on both the RSX and the Integra are interchangeable with Honda Civic parts (the most popular car in America), which makes the RSX a prime target for car thieves.

Theft insurance is highly recommended when obtaining quotes on an Acura RSX policy for this reason. Comparing different carriers and increasing your deductible on the comprehensive portion of any auto insurance policy can help reduce costs while keeping coverage high.
