Acura CSX GraceFul Car 2010 Model Pics And Info

Unlike its forebear, the EL. The Canadian-only Acura CSX never sold well, even Honda Canada has agreed it isn’t as a marketing succeed as all the EL preceding it.

Dynamically speaking, CSX is a very delightful car to drive. Our tester is the mid-level Tech package with manual gearbox. Honda has always been known for building excellent front-driver, which is balanced and agile. Steering is sharp with great feedback. CSX has lived up to its tradition as a very fun-to-drive sports sedan. Its Type-S version would certainly run like a wind. With 155hp and 139 lb/ft of torque pumped out from a 2.0 liter i-VTEC motor, there is plenty of power with both 5-speed manual or manumatic transmissions.


When it comes to use of materials and fit-and-finish, CSX is a notch above Civic which its loosely based on. There are plenty of classy plastic materials with tactical feedback on all switchgears. It also feels spacious inside with comfortable leather seats abound.


The biggest problem with CSX is its priced too close to the Accord. There isn’t any market as price-conscious as Canadian market, regardless of how small it is. But consumers are simply flocking to lesser Civic with 1.8 liter or to larger Accord instead of going to Acura showroom. In terms of execution, Acura has done a wonderful job with the CSX. All the conceptable areas are so much better than all the ELs have gone before. But its the market positioning that has killed this nice little luxury car.
