Acura’s entry-level CSX often gets negatively painted as a Honda Civic with more chrome. However, the CSX does come with some standard features that aren’t available on any Civic at any price, like leather seats. Also, the CSX’ 2.0-litre engine produces 155-hp, or 15 more than its Honda sibling. In 2009, the CSX gained a new corporate nose in its mid-cycle facelift, but otherwise remains unchanged. Inside, the CSX’s new standard i-Tech package features a six-speaker 160-watt audio system with a digital card reader, navigation system with voice recognition, steering wheel mounted audio controls, Bluetooth handsfree, HID headlights and XM Satellite radio. The hot 197-hp Type-S model remains unchanged.


Pros

Great value with added technology standard

Cons

Tiny buttons on Navigation system
