The 2006 CSX is an important vehicle to Acura for the sedan market segment. The Premium is a member of a series of trim levels for the CSX which include Premium and Touring. The four-door car with its front-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Acura. There is strong competition from vehicles from Infiniti.

Performance

The CSX Premium is equipped with a Honda 2.0 liter four-cylinder engine that utilizes 16 valves. The VTEC engine is mated to a Honda 5-speed Transaxle. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Acura.

The fuel system for the 2006 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 20.40 gallons.

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

CSX Premium Statistics

The CSX is 188.50 inches long, 77.00 inches wide, and 68.70 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 106.30 inches. It is able to seat 7 comfortably.

The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $37,125 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of $33,459. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 4-door Sedan.

The standard warranty period for the CSX is 48 months, or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the sedan market.

Fuel Efficiency

The CSX Premium received a miles-per-gallon rating of seventeen in-city driving and twenty three when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was subpar.

Conclusion

There are several reasons why the Acura CSX Premium sold well in 2006. Mainly the increase in availability and a marked improvement in quality meant the buying public was more apt to choose a Acura, specifically a CSX.
