People who purchase the RSX have been doing so for the last few generations in <a href="http://www.luxurycarfacts.com/tag/a/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with A">a</a> family. It is <a href="http://www.luxurycarfacts.com/tag/a/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with A">a</a> constant that only gets better with age.</p>
<p><span id="more-284"></span></p>

The VTEC engine is mated to <a href="http://www.luxurycarfacts.com/tag/a/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with A">a</a> Honda 5-speed Transaxle.  This configuration has proven to be <a href="http://www.luxurycarfacts.com/tag/a/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with A">a</a> successful design for Acura.</p>
<p>Steering control is handled through <a href="http://www.luxurycarfacts.com/tag/a/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with A">a</a> power-steering rack-style configuration. The RSX 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.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_injected">fuel system</a> for the 2006 RSX is <a href="http://www.luxurycarfacts.com/tag/a/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with A">a</a> PGM-FI design, running on gasoline fuel.  The fuel flow is regulated by <a href="http://www.luxurycarfacts.com/tag/a/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with A">a</a> electronic system and is <a href="http://www.luxurycarfacts.com/tag/a/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with A">a</a> fuel-injected MFI design.  The storage capacity of the fuel tank is 13.20 gallons.</p>
<h3>RSX <a href="http://www.luxurycarfacts.com/tag/base/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Base">Base</a> Statistics</h3>
<p>The RSX is 172.20 inches long, 67.90 inches wide, and 54.90 inches high.  It has <a href="http://www.luxurycarfacts.com/tag/a/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with A">a</a> wheelbase of 101.20 inches.  It is able to seat 4 comfortably.</p>
<p>The standard warranty period for the RSX is 48 months, or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Extended warranties are also available through the dealer.</p>
<p>The listed retail price in 2006 (MSRP) was $21,225, with an invoice cost of $19,368.
