Acura has been blessed with many award-winning designs, including the Acura CSX of 2008. There are trim levels to the CSX, including Type-S and Base. The Type-S version is one of the more popular options. Like in 2007 the popular 2.0 liter VTEC has made this a popular choice for sedan buyers around the world.

Engine Performance

The restyled CSX Type-S is equipped with a Honda 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that utilizes a total of 16 valves. The VTEC engine is paired with a Honda 6-speed transaxle. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Acura.

The CSX uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.

CSX Type-S Statistics

The CSX is 190.70 inches long, 78.50 inches wide, and 69.70 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 108.30 inches. It is able to seat 7 comfortably.

The listed retail price in 2008 (MSRP) was $40,195, with an invoice cost of $36,514. This price is slightly higher than the industry average price for a four-door Sedan.

Fuel Efficiency

The fuel system for the 2008 CSX is a PGM-FI design, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel flow is regulated by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The storage capacity of the fuel tank is 21.00 gallons.

The 2008 CSX gets 20 miles/gallon on the highway and only 15 in the city. This is average for a sedan car.

Conclusion

The 2008 model year was unsuccessful for the Acura CSX. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the Type-S version) meant that buyers had several options to choose from..
