Con: Front grille

asian_XL 06-23-2009 12:16 AM

Pro: it is the closest thing to a Type R.
Con: it is not a Type R

get something with a turbo or supercharged.

Timpo 06-23-2009 12:38 AM

pros: reliability, fuel economy, resale value

cons: it's an expensive civic

Drove a stock manual and it was really boring, automatic is the way to go.

Did you just mix up the 2? Surely you can't be serious.

ilvtofu 06-23-2009 07:03 AM

^well I actually never drove an automatic,
But i have driven an automatic corolla and felt that engine had a lot more pep Than the manual CSX,
The CSX wasn't very willing to rev and was incredibly quiet, (may just be a plus for some ppl)

CSX = re-badged Civic

BNR32_Coupe 06-23-2009 08:15 AM

PRO: ITS A JDM CIVIC!! PWNAGEEAAAHHH!!

taylor192 06-23-2009 08:56 AM

Its a rebadged Civic, you can get virtually all the same options on the Civic for less $$.

ilvtofu 06-23-2009 09:17 AM

in terms of looks CSX>>>>>>>>>>>>>civic

and as mentioned above EX-L which is similarly equipped as a regular CSX is not that much cheaper

Shun Izaki 06-23-2009 09:22 AM

Why are people needing to point out that it's a rebadged civic?

Obvious much?

Get a civic if you don't have the money (the sensible choice)
Get a CSX if you like the styling, and can waste the extra

Funny thing you say that, It was actually designed by Honda/Acura Canada for the CSX but Honda Japan thought the designed was nice so they also used it as their JDM civic. :)

Just spend 3-4g's more and get a base TSX.

ecsw 06-23-2009 10:10 AM

I believe you can get $3K or more off easily from CSX.

CSX felt a bit light and it's a bit loud on hwy. Go TSX if you can afford a bit more or I4 Accord coupe for similar price to CSX.

For almost the same price, I picked up the Fully loaded 08 GT RX-8 a month ago. ;)

Pros: It's a Civic
Cons: It's a Civic

:D

On a serious note, they're decent cars. I've worked on a couple, not bad. Not fast by any means, but for an all around reliable fuel efficient car you can't go wrong.

meh..i had a 06 tech for maybe 4-6months... didnt like it.. felt real small and squishy in there.. ride quality was sub-par.. HIDs looked like cheap silverstars due to lack of projectors in the headlight modules... stereo sounded like muffled crap.. the only real cool thing was the navi screen and the compact flash slot whereas you can load all your mp3s via the card..... in any case, traded it in for an 06 TSX.

crazyazn 06-25-2009 08:48 PM

Only reason to get CSX is the Type-S

Meowjin 06-25-2009 08:50 PM

so my friend just called me from the states (lives in yakima)

told me 09 TL no accidents with navi and 6k miles for 23grand USA.

I'm taking a look at it this sunday, as he has it as a courtesy car.

ilvtofu 06-25-2009 08:59 PM

Type S is too expensive for the performance practicality or style it offers

twitchyzero 06-25-2009 11:39 PM

was the EL selling for $~28-30k like the CSX?

pandalove 06-25-2009 11:43 PM

step up to the tsx
