Re: Type-S Best year

05 is the best because of the improvements. Its just the guages look like crap


If you're american you'll probably want a 2004 as it gets heated mirrors. If you're canadian it doesn't matter, we have always had heated mirrors and seats.

02-04 has the 0 at the bottom also, however the sunken in look of the new gauges drive me crazy (no pun intended). I really liked the 02-04 ones....and the pattern on the dash I don't like, or the leather door panels (the vinyl was softer). However the silver accents and threads look awesome.

Re: Type-S Best year

I just seen the 05 rsx today and man do i want one. The front end is so much better looking, especially with the projector headlights, but I do miss the back end lights with the half circles on the bottom. I guess they wanted to make it look a little more like the integra it replaced more.

The suspension has been completely re-done too. The whole car is stiffer and an increase in horses for the Type-S model is sweet too. The also lowered the car too. I don't know how much but do check out the acura.com site. It shows everything.

Projectors? No RSX has ever had projectors or HIDs.

Re: Type-S Best year

In the end I'd go with performance over looks-so I'd have to say the 05. But they lost me on some of the design changes. Both models are still nicer than most of the cars I see on the road in an average day.

I think he's talking about the blacked-out headlights on the new '05's.

Re: Type-S Best year

I'd have to go with the '05. Mainly performance, but the look is growing on me too.

Re: Type-S Best year

I know, but there's a difference between being black and having projectors

Iunno, the 05 looks are growing on me, I like them.....I just absolutely HATE the pattern on the aluminum dash pieces and the gauges. If they were replaced with 02-04 ones that'd be awesome.

Yep. Big difference. But he's probably a little confused and I just wanted to clarify.

This is what you want to do -
1. Buy '05 TypeS
2. Don't trade in yours
3. Swap dashboards between both
4. Sell your TypeS

That should solve all your problems. Oh, I forgot the last step:
5. Choose something other than ABP
