Inspect all interior accessories for proper operation, including the power windows, sunroof and steering wheel-mounted audio controls. If any of these don’t work as expected, call it into pricing negotiations.
As reliable as the CSX looks in the used market, poor maintenance will shorten its useful life. Proper care is key for longevity in any car – so try and seek out a model that’s been treated to regular oil changes, fluid changes and maintenance from its previous owners.
Finally, avoid any used CSX model that’s undergone extensive modifications by its previous owners. Typically, intake and exhaust modifications are safe and pose no cause for worry if the quality of the parts and installation are sound. Shoppers are advised to use caution when considering models with altered engine management electronics, upgraded engine internals, nitrous, forced induction or other serious add-ons.
The Verdict Of A Used Acura CSX Type S: Seemingly free of the head gasket issues reported in the Civic of the same generation, the CSX looks like an even more reliable and upscale alternative as a used compact sedan.
