Re: The Great (Acura) TSX Debate [billyperksii]
I wanted to try another brand because my previous car was the 2003 TL Type S, the G just did not do it for me, I tried to force myself to like it but I just knew it would have been buyers remorse. When I was looking for a new 2005 ELLPS, I looked at the G35 along with the TL. The G35 was noticeably a bit narrow, but not a ... Read More

BMW vs. Acura TSX
I would say the 328 gives up nothing to the TSX as far as reliability goes. The E90 3 series platform has been around since 2005. My Mom had an '08 328xi that never went into the shop for anything other than scheduled maintenance. Yes she had to put brakes on at 50,100 miles & pay for an Inspection II @ 58,000 miles, but nothing ever broke. In my experience, you ... Read More

I agree. But how is BMW any different? The 328i is the same E90 introduced in 2005 (MY2006), only it has 15 more HP and weighs 100 lbs more. It is eclipsed in HP by several cars in this segment, but it soldiered on. Why? Because it sells. It is the entry point into BMW luxury and prestige. For Acura, the TSX is the entry point into the ELLPS segment. And ... Read More

Re: Torn [stone23]
Hey Torn. I share the same thoughts about putting money down on a lease. Putting money down on a lease is just foolish. It actually doesn't matter one bit to your dealer if they get $3000 down or $0 down. They are still getting 100% of the selling price of the car from either Acura Financial or the particular bank that is financing the lease. As far as your 2005 TL ... Read More

According to the dealer, there were no signs of sudden failure or burn up of the clutch. While I disagree that driving abuse or riding the clutch caused the problems, the dealership agreed ...

Re: Prices on Remaining 2008 Manual TSX's [kyfdx]
Acura no longer says you have to use premium. They changed their wording in the owners manual around 2006. They now say 87 is minimum. For 2005 it states 91 octane premium required, lower octane may cause damage. The 2006 manual though says 91+ octane recommended however 87+ octane may be used with reduced performance. Lower than 87 octane may cause engine damage and engine knock. You probably won't get 100% ... Read More

$1495 is a little expensive for the extended maintenance plan. You can purchase this any time from any BMW dealer, until the car reaches 4yr/50K miles. As for CR, I've found them to be relatively on-target, when considering all the data from a broad spectrum. As always, your mileage (experience) may vary. Coincidentally, the only major problem I've had with my previous S40 2.4i was with the stereo (head unit) -- ... Read More

Re: Acura TSX 2005 Problems [vanfaniel]
Try using a different brand of gas at your next fill-up. The rotten-egg smell is a byproduct of burning fuel that has a high sulfur content.

Re: Acura TSX 2005 Problems [vanfaniel]
A small amount of white smoke (it's actually just water vapor) for a very short period after turning off the car should be OK. If strong enough, the rotten eggs and gas smell is something you might want to have the dealer diagnose - but make sure it's reproduceable.

According to my calculations, if your friend was to lease a 2005 Acura TSX (w/o Navigation System) with an MSRP of $27,190 and a selling price of $26,400 through Honda Finance right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $408.

Frustrated in Minnesota!
I am absolutely in love with the 2005 TSX, but there are only 3 Acura dealerships here in MN and none of them seem at all interested in selling this car at a fair price. The "best" quote I got for the TXS without navigation and with no "dealer-installed" options was $26585 (inclusive of destination charge). I tried to get the two other dealerships in a bidding war by disclosing that ... Read More

Re: 2005 Lease
Hi suvgal. Your friend needs to find out what the selling price of this car is. This is an important number for consumers to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if one was paying cash for them. Without knowing the price of the car that one wants to lease one doesn't know how good a price they are getting it for. ... Read More

2005 Lease
Car_Man, My friend plans to lease an 05 Acura TSX (w/o Navigation System). Given my leasing experience with the Highlander, I was hoping maybe you could provide her with advice as to whether this is a good deal. The MSRP is $27,190. The dealership wants $380/mo for 36 months for 15K/year. She also would have to pay $2400 down to include closing costs. Does this sound like a fair deal to ... Read More

chicago suburbs buying experience
After shopping for a 2005 TSX automatic non-navi via the Acura dealers in Madison, WI and Brookfield (by Milwaukee), WI, and all of the Acura dealers in the Chicago suburbs, I ended up with a great deal ($25798 + TTL) at Muller's Woodfield Acura on Higgins Rd in Hoffman Estates. I e-mailed for a quote at 1:30 in the morning and my phone was ringing 8 hours later with a great ... Read More

Re: 2005 TSX in SF Bay Area [jfergus]
It was more like, "Sir, now that you have bought this vehicle, I must tell you that the thieves can easily bypass all the security features and steal your vehicle. But our $300 alarm can deter all of them" It was some dealer/OEM alarm not LoJack.

Re: 2005 TSX in SF Bay Area [sd_acura]
Alarm system? It already comes with a "Theft-deterrent system with electronic immobilizer". How did he push that one? "Sir, now that you've purchased this 'luxury car', I should tell you that the alarm system is woefully inadequate." The name of the alarm he was peddling wasn't by chance "The Club", was it? Or was he trying to push a recovery system like Lo-Jack?

Re: 2005 TSX in SF Bay Area [bwia]
I bought the Acura TSX, 6MT, silver/gray from Sunnyvale Acura at $25,400 + Fees = $27,317 OTD today. The internet sales manager offered me this price over telephone and didn't want to go below the invoice. I would say the entire transaction was quite smooth, except for slight haggling/pushing by the finance guy to install an alarm. They have one more TSX w/NAV 6MT available if anyone is interested and the ... Read More

Re: 2005 TSX in SF Bay Area [peaches63]
Great minds think alike, I also test-drove a TSX on Labor Day, in Chicago. I've driven Saabs since 1983, because they're a good size car for heavy traffic and cramped city living. However, I need a change, and Saab is now a GM car. My accountant is a smart guy, and he swears by his Acuras. Moreover, all my friends say that Japanese cars are extremely durable and reliable. I also ... Read More

Re: 2005 TSX in SF Bay Area [asleepy]
asleepy, My decision to buy the TSX involved several factors. Actually I will need to replace another car soon, so I will be revisiting the performance sedan category again, which means the TL and 325i will be on my list (I may add the IS 250/350). The G35 just didn't excite me as much as the Acura or BMW. I went with the TSX first because I wanted a car for ... Read More

Re: 2005 Lease
Hi looking2lease. I am not personally all that familiar with what the market is like for the Acura TSX right now.

Re: TL or TSX [johnny420]

Re: Re: Acura TSX: Lease Questions

The only one that I can remember over the past several months is a special financing program that it ran on it over the Labor Day weekend, but that's long gone now. If you were to lease this car through Honda Finance Corp. you would have to use its standard lease program. Its standard buy rate lease money factor ... Read More

Re: 240 hp TSX [johnny420]
No Johnny, I haven't changed my basic tune, though I admit the harmony may sound a little different. Now that I'm back in a RWD sports car, I have come to realize in hindsight what limitations the TSX has. I still believe that below 8/10ths, there is no functional difference in performance between the TSX and it's RWD competitors (Lexus IS, BMW E46 3-series, etc.), but at track speeds, there's just ...

Re: 2006 TSX CHANGES [marc10]
FWIW, the sales guy at my local Acura dealer also told me the 2006 will have more horsepower "and a number of other changes". Since I was pondering buying a 2005 TSX, he obviously didn't want to tell me much more, but obviously the dealers know something! ;) The posting on vtec.net is enough to make me wait a little more, to see if more information becomes available.

2006 TSX CHANGES
IN RESPONSE TO MAXAMILLION1: Gimme a break...all those changes for 2006? Basically Acura is eliminating the TL? The TSX and the TL are 6K different in price. The only major difference is engine and size of sedan, exterior and interior looks are similar. There is a very fine line between the two sedans. With those upgrades the line will be crossed and accessories eliminated? Most car companies make major changes like ... Read More

Re: Acura TSX Owners: MPG-Real World Numbers [KarenS]
I've had a 2005 AT TSX for about a month now. In that time, I've averaged 23.7 MPG in a mix of about 90% city (and congested freeway) and 10% open highway. The most recent tank was the best, in spite of me accelerating quite a bit more aggressively now that I'm through the break-in period.

I barely break 14 for city and 22 highway and maybe get 180 miles to a tank of gas. (On the rare occasion that empty dot comes on-and it rarely does since I keep the tank above 1/4 full always-I ...

Re: Torque is the TSX's problem [ljwalters1]
I own both a 2005 TL and 2005 TSX. What I would say is that it is unfair to say which is better...as they are two different classed cars. It is like asking is my BMW 750Li better than my TL (you cannot compare as one is a 360hp V-8 for starters). Regarding the comment regarding that the TSX cannot compete against its peers...I disagree. Natural peers would be such as ... Read More

Re: Parchment vs Black Interior in the South ?? [lainey]
I own a 2005 TSX with Quartz interior and 2005 TL with Parchment while living in Southern California.

Try sitting in one that is even in the shade...and you will still feel some retained/reflected heat. For parchment....get ... Read More

Update on attempted dealer scam
BRIEF REVIEW: The dealer manually removed the sales tax from the computer during negotiations for the extended warranty and Lo Jack (there is much electronics in the car that for an average of $500 per year it seemed like it was worth buying 3 years additional years of protection). After the check for $5,000 and a second one for $22,700 were handed over for a 2005 Char. Gray TSX with navigation ... Read More
