Review
I toyed with the idea of an SUV and looked at a couple of crossovers and compact SUVS, but after a lifetime of driving a real car (read sedan), I found SUVs uncomfortably removed from the road and clunky. That left me with few choices: the Acura, the Jetta Sportwagen, the CTS Sport Wagon and the Audi A4 were the 'finalists'. The Acura was the best value, and I've been delighted. It handles well and has plenty of vigor. I get 31+mpg on the highway. It has great electronic features, though the handsfree phone mechanism is a bit of a laggard. It's my first foreign car, and so far, I'm a happy camper.

I drove my Honda Accord EX wagon for 18yrs because there was nothing of equal quality or looks to replace it with until now.
I fell in love with the TSX Sport wagon with the tech package at first sight.
I was tired of driving a manuel transmission and wanted a nice automatic.
The TSX fills the bill.
Nice smooth shifting road car.

Review
As an 18 year Saab owner, I spent close to a year looking for a replacement to our '04 Saab Aero Wagon (w/manual trans).
I knew nothing about Acura prior to seeing a TSX Wagon drive by and thinking the exterior styling looked terrific.
One test drive and I was hooked.
The car handles quite well.
As others have said, the 5 speed auto is average at best, but I have not had any major issue with it.
The cargo space is good, although smaller than the Saab, it is huge in comparison to the Cadillac CTS Wagon.
Bottom line, fully loaded it is $10 - $20K less than the Volvo, Cadillac & Audi wagons.
I don't need AWD and love getting 32+ mpg hwy with 26+ mpg combined city/hwy.

After shopping the A4, 3-Series, and C-class wagons, the TSX Sport Wagon prevailed as the most value laden of the four.
The tech package model has features not even available on the other three and fully loaded is lower priced out the door than the others.
The Audi seemed to depreciate really fast based on preowned prices that i saw.
Acura maintenance and repair costs are lower than the Bimmer and Merc.
The four cylinder makes the Sport Wagon quick while still getting good mileage.
The volvo available seemed too small in comparison to the others, especially for the price.
