Market commentary
This price is quite a bit higher than the average value people state when they call Hagerty for insurance on an RSX, currently around $13k. And yet the price kind of makes sense. The RSX, which debuted in 2002 as the successor to the 1997–2001 Integra, has pretty much all the qualities that Japanese car lovers crave: A free-revving four-cylinder (210 hp at 7800 rpm), a snick-snick six-speed manual, and wonderful steering and handling. It also happens to be one of the more handsome cars of its ilk. And whereas small Hondas from the 1980s and even the ’90s can feel just a tad uncomfortable in traffic among today’s 400-hp luxo-barges, the RSX, which hits 60 mph in less than seven seconds and has a sixth gear for highway cruising, has no such issues. It lacks the famous "Integra" badge and all the respect and recognition that come with it, but the underrated RSX may get the last laugh. More than three-quarters of the people calling us about RSXs are millennials or younger. As the fortunes of these up-and-coming collectors improve, so might the values of the cars they crave.
