Default Thinking of buying an RSX.

Any year better than another? Not all the years had the K20A2, right?

I'm thinking of replacing my Hatch with a RSX, and was curious if the RSX was as easy to steal...

Thanks for the suggestions

not as easy to steal as your hatch, but anything is possible.

the 05-06 has the k20z1 which is good for 10 more horsepower than the k20a2 but they say 201 because of the new sae revisions. it has a decent alarm system and it also has a chipped key which you need to start the car. i'd say its decently harder to steal than an older hatch.

Different cams, and Intake manifold I believe. The 05 only 210 hp..It had type R cams or something similar..but an 06 TSX cams are the best..more power out of them then the Type R
