The 2006 CSX is an important vehicle to Acura for the sedan market segment. The Touring 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 Nissan.

Engine Performance

The CSX Touring 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 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 Touring Statistics

The dimensions of the CSX Touring are 77.00 inches wide by 188.50 inches long. It sits a comfortable 68.70 inches off the ground. It seats a standard seven passengers, with 4 doors. The wheelbase of 106.30 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.

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.

Fuel Efficiency

The fuel system for the 2006 CSX is a traditional PGM-FI, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 20.40 gallons.

The CSX Touring 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.

In Summary

There are several reasons why the Acura CSX Touring 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.
