Freshened styling and sporty-model upgrades mark Acura's entry-level car for 2005. RSX is a 2-dr hatchback coupe sold in base and higher-performance Type-S trim. Both have a 2.0-liter 4-cyl engine. The 160-hp base model offers 5-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmissions. The sportier Type-S comes only with a 6-speed manual and for '05 gains 10 hp, to 210. Both get revised suspension, steering, and brakes, plus a minor facelift, more heavily bolstered front seats, and extra interior accents in chrome and faux titanium. The Type-S has a firmer suspension, and, for '05, increases wheel size to 17 inches from 16 and gains a standard rear spoiler. The base model retains 16s. Every RSX includes antilock 4-wheel disc brakes and front side airbags, sunroof, and heated mirrors. Leather upholstery is standard for the Type-S and available on the base. Type-S also comes with an in-dash CD changer.
