look in the archives at the 05 RSX. The differences/changes are detailed there from 04 to 05.

I'm looking into a RSX. My question is the 2005 model worth getting due to all the improvements?

see this link to see the changes made:

Type-'S'paz · 01-04-2009, 10:05 PM

Yes

slowmanEK · 01-05-2009, 01:22 AM

Yes the 05-06 are a much refined car.

V8 Eater · 01-05-2009, 03:37 AM

its 1 step behind of a dc5 itr,utilizes better everything,engine,muffler,tuning,suspension,front and rear ends,seats,interior, what a dumb question why did I even answer!

Tyte-S · 01-05-2009, 12:09 PM

Get an '05

Igaly · 01-05-2009, 04:41 PM

05 or 06 RSX are the best they have more horsepower and the bodystyle is better

Jdc5 · 01-06-2009, 12:04 AM

the only thing that sucks is you cant kpro but you CAN reflash the 05-06.

DonReggeaton · 01-06-2009, 08:00 PM

for me same o crap lol just the body and 10 more horsepower but ill say go the new ones 05 06 just make sure the previews owner didnt beat the shit out of it lol.

MechEng · 01-07-2009, 10:38 PM

There are some good deals on 2002 and 2003 models. Are the upgrades that were added to the 2005 easy to apply to these cars for the steering and suspension?
Do you guys know what parts were changed.

Here is an interesting article, the interior on the 2005 and 2006 models were cheapened.

http://www.canadiandriver.com/articles/ly/05rsx_s.htm

"One area where the RSX seems to have regressed from its former glory is inside, where there has been small (but noticeable) evidence of cost-cutting. While the overall design and quality of the interior is still easily at the top of its class, pieces like the door caps are now made out of hard plastic, and the coin tray no longer has a rubber liner like it used to. Instead of the expensive painted-silver finish that used to grace the door handles, dash trim, and window switches, a titanium-beige colour has been moulded in, and neither looks nor feels as good as before. The Alfa-like air vents now feel kind of flimsy, and the deep-dish 3-D gauges are gone, replaced by a set of attractive, but generic-looking readouts that are not only less elegant, but also more difficult to read. "

i agree with most, 05+ ftw.

BlurpleDC2 · 01-13-2009, 02:33 PM

pre 05s are slow

blackk20dc5 · 01-13-2009, 04:56 PM

it all comes down to what you want to do with the car. If you buy a 02-04 you can make it just as good as the 05-06 and then be done with it. also it comes down to what car style you like better. so you pick what you like and you can get the same out of both cars

STEVE-O7 · 01-13-2009, 05:40 PM

I have an 03 i love it. But i would prolly get an '05-06 just bc its newer and most likely has fewer miles on it

ap2 [ tsGEEEKZ ] · 01-18-2009, 10:47 AM

wegotmorrison · 01-19-2009, 12:11 PM

NOTHING is wrong with the Pre 05's. Nothing.

iluv_jdm · 01-22-2009, 04:24 PM

05 type s is 210hp/ 06 is 201hp. The 05-06 body style is better anyways 05-06 RSX all day

Correct. Agree with everyone else. Get '05-'06.

ap2 [ tsGEEEKZ ] · 01-22-2009, 10:30 PM

yeah true. 05 and 06 basically have the same hp rating, they just measured it differently.

i will definitely choose the 05+ but if your trying to save money i've also seen a couple clean 05+ conversions on an 02-04.
