Acura CSX

Find a great in depth blog post on the Acura CSX at the GoodCarBadCar.net

Q: How does the Acura CSX compare to the New Honda Civic?
I was looking at getting an ‘07 Civic, and while I still feel it’s a beautiful car I also feel like it’s missing a lot of the bells and whistles that I’ve grown accustomed to. Would moving up to an Acura CSX be worth the extra money?

A: If you’re looking for bells and whistles then get the acura, if you’re looking for reliability then get the honda. I worked in the service deparment at an acura dealership and those bells and whistles break down a lot.

Q: Will the factory spoiler on the Honda Civic fit on the Acura CSX?
Acura sells their CSX spoiler for over 700 + taxes!
I can get a Civic spoiler for around 400ish online… but I’m not sure if it will fit the CSX?

A: Yes, but you will have to drill holes. And it will look bad.

Q: How can i listen to my ipod songs in my car? How or where do get this installed? Drive an acura csx 2007?
Also, how much would it cost if i get this sone somehwere.

A: I am guessing you are from Canada? That car is basically a Honda Civic in the US, but obviously with other luxury accessories. There should be an auxiliary input inside the arm rest compartment, you can buy a cable for 10 USD or less and then you can connect it to your iPod and manually play songs through the iPod as if the speakers in your car were your headphones.

Q: Is there a timming belt in the Acura Csx model 2006?
Is there a timming belt in the Acura CSX 2006 model

A: No. Timing chain.

Q: Is there a body kit for the 2006 acura csx(which is only in canada) please tell me any websites with a bodykit
for the acura csx

A: I’m not too sure, but you might be able to get the kit through your dealer.

You can find aftermarket bumpers and wings on eBay, and I do know that Mugen has a full kit for it (if not several kits). Go to Mugen at http://www.mugen-power.com/top.html, (I tried to check it, but the English page was under construction) or http://www.kingmotorsports.com/

As a last resort, you can go to http://www.bodykits.org/custom.html ; they make custom kits for any car.

I’m sure that once the car has been out for a while, it will be a lot easier to find a good kit.

Other names for this car are;
Honda Civic FD1, (Japan, Europe, etc.) although NOT is the US;
Mugen has a car called the Civic Dominator – I am pretty sure this is the same as the CSX, but I heard it is only a one-off project.
Honda Civic Type R (Japan)
You might find something under these names.

If you go to http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19227, they have a Civic FD1 done by summit- they used a Mugen kit, too.

I’ll update you later if I find anything else.

Q: Gas economy for Acura CSX and Infiniti G35?
Hi,

I bought an Acura CSX lately hoping the gas mileage would be at least 10liter per 100km in city, but I am getting only about 12ltr/100km when I am driving very gently.

As I am pretty dissapointed at this number, I am switching it to Infiniti G35 (2004-2006).

If you have one, please advise me what kind of gas mileage you are getting in city. I know the city rating published by Infiniti is about 12lt/100km but those numbers are never accurate…

A: You think the CSX is bad, wait until your drive the G 35. You’ll do at least 30% worse.

Q: how do i fix “system is too lean” P0171 on my acura csx?
i have a short ram intake and i kno that this is causing the problem i just want to know how to correct it so the check engine light doesn’t come on…i have already hooked up my car to an OBD reader and cleared the code but then after a while it comes back with the same P0171. PLEASE HELP!!

A: The ram intake should not be the problem. Sounds like a fuel delivery problem. Check your fuel pressure. If it is lower then it should be it could be the regulator or possible a pump problem. Also make sure your battery is showing 13.5 volts when running. If it is less, this would make the fuel pump not work correctly.

Q: Which inventor invented the 2007 Acura CSX?? 10 POINTS!?
I need to know who invented the 2007 Acura CSX! plz help me, i need this for my report… who ever can find the rite answer… and info on the inventor! 10 POINTS!!!
ASAP THX! PLZ!!!!

A: Nobody “invented” the CSX. It was designed at the Honda design center.

Q: Acura CSX 2008 black color?
In 2007, the Acura CSX was available in black. I think they called it nighthawk black pearl. You could see a bit of blue in the sunlight. Is the 2008 version available in that exact same color? I know the color name hasn’t changed, but I think the color has become more like 100% black.
The CSX is only available in Canada. It is very similar to the Honda Civic EXL.

A: I have seen CSXs, and they are only available in Canada, for about US$34,000. They are not just Civic EXLs, they have xenons, paddle shifters, leather, side signals, more sporty trim, etc. etc.

The 2008 color is the same as the 2007

Q: Should I buy a 2008 Acura CSX? (rumoured to be discontinued nxt year)?
I can get 3500 off msrp for a new 2008 Acura CSX with 0.9% financing for 48 months. the whole vehicle will cost me around 30k at the end of 48 months. but i hear rumours (very possible) that the CSX will be discontinued in 2009.

should i get the CSX or buy the civic coupe lx, which is 4k cheaper? CSX has a lot premium stuff on top of the civic, so I am leaning heavily towards the CSX.

but i’m not sure if the resale value of the car will go down once the CSX has been officially discontinued by Acura. and im also concerned about finding parts for the car 10 years down the road. but looking at the EL, the resale value does not seem to be significantly affected when it was discontinued.

so confused – going to an acura dealer tmr (30 mins away from my house) and i would really appreciate any advice.

A: Just because the car is discontinued does not mean they will not make parts for the car anymore. Acura is the same company as Honda, but Acura is the “luxury” side of Honda. If I am not mistaken, the CSX has the same engine as the Civic. The only difference is that it is nicer :- ).

Almost everyone knows that Hondas and Toyotas have high resale value. Rest assure you are buying a supped up Honda Civic. Making it discontinued might boost its value if anything.

Q: will a 2006 Acura CSX navi unit fit in my 2005 Acura EL?
Hello, i have a 2005 Acura EL and Id rather have a double din gps unit rather then one that mounts on my dash, I have a friend that’s selling his Acura CSX navi unit and personally i prefer an acura unit for my car I was just wondering if it will fit in my car and is it worth the extra coin, like lets say over a pioneer double din or alpine. Also i don’t know much about these units can you maybe recommend a unit? thank you for your time, cheers.

A: Not sure if it is possible. Even if it is it’s probably not going to be an easy conversion. It would probably be a lot easier and cheaper to go with an aftermarket option.

Q: 08 Acura CSX or 08 Impreza 2.5i Sport Package?
Which car should one get for their first car?
Both are around the same price since I can get $3~4k off the CSX.

A: If you drive in the snow get the subie, I have one and a absolutly love it. However if you dont need the AWD probably shouldnt pay for it, go for the acura
