Pro: it is the closest thing to a Type R.
Con: it is not a Type R
get something with a turbo or supercharged.

^well I actually never drove an automatic,
But i have driven an automatic corolla and felt that engine had a lot more pep Than the manual CSX,
The CSX wasn't very willing to rev and was incredibly quiet, (may just be a plus for some ppl)

Its a rebadged Civic, you can get virtually all the same options on the Civic for less $$.

Why are people needing to point out that it's a rebadged civic?
Obvious much?
Get a civic if you don't have the money (the sensible choice)
Get a CSX if you like the styling, and can waste the extra

I believe you can get $3K or more off easily from CSX.
CSX felt a bit light and it's a bit loud on hwy. Go TSX if you can afford a bit more or I4 Accord coupe for similar price to CSX.
For almost the same price, I picked up the Fully loaded 08 GT RX-8 a month ago.  | |

Pros: It's a Civic
Cons: It's a Civic 
On a serious note, they're decent cars. I've worked on a couple, not bad. Not fast by any means, but for an all around reliable fuel efficient car you can't go wrong.

meh..i had a 06 tech for maybe 4-6months... didnt like it.. felt real small and squishy in there.. ride quality was sub-par.. HIDs looked like cheap silverstars due to lack of projectors in the headlight modules... stereo sounded like muffled crap.. the only real cool thing was the navi screen and the compact flash slot whereas you can load all your mp3s via the card..... in any case, traded it in for an 06 TSX.

Only reason to get CSX is the Type-S

told me 09 TL no accidents with navi and 6k miles for 23grand USA.
I'm taking a look at it this sunday, as he has it as a courtesy car.

Type S is too expensive for the performance practicality or style it offers
