Great family car
I wanted to replace my Passat wagon with another wagon. Test drove: Subaru Outback, Toyota Venza, Jetta wagon TDI & Tiguan, Honda Crosstour & CRV, Acura RDX. I liked the TSX road feel, interior fit and finish, and cargo space compared to the competitors. I'm hoping snow tires will make up for the lack of AWD. Three months and 3,000 miles later, I am happy with my car. It's a smooth, comfortable ride. The Tech Package is fun and the stereo is excellent. The mileage is very good and exceeds the EPA estimates, especially for highway driving. Looking forward to Acura reliability. If you want AWD and are not as concerned with fuel economy, try the RDX. It's a fun drive.
Great price point....
Have owned my wagon for a month now and love it. Purchased a Demo for only 27k. After pricing the BMW 3 series wagon and the Audi A4 equally equipped........10k+ difference, forget it. For 10k they can have more horse power and all wheel drive (live in SoCal don't need it). This engine is peppy enough and with the planned Icebox intake, power will be just fine. Recently got 32mpg Hwy averaging 70 mph. Sold my 2005 Mercedes E320 Wagon for this and its sooooo nice to have a transmission that shifts without hesitation. Not as quiet and smooth as the Merc but a new Benz was 55k....enough said.

Great Downsize
I was up in the air between the TSX Sport Wagon and the RDX AWD. In the end, I opted for better gas mileage and I could not be happier. While the wagon is not powered like a sports car, it is peppy enough for my needs. Getting my bicycle on and off the roof is easy and the cargo area is sufficient for my weekly office shopping forays to Costco. The car is tight and responsive on the road and the sound system makes it worth the extra cost of the Technology Package. (I could take or leave the GPS/Nav and the power lift gate.) After a month, I am happy with my decision.
Great car to drive, runs like a little sportscar !
Maybe the most fun to drive wagon I have ever owned. Just changed the oil with 6500 miles at the dealer. I think this wagon has plenty of power, just came back from a 1000 mile round trip from San Diego to San Francisco, fully loaded and got 30 mpg plus, driving on average 75 to 80 miles an hour. Brakes are well designed. Front Seats are very comfortable, but passenger front seat is lacking lumbar support.
New to Acura and Loving It
I took ownership of my new 2011 Acura Sport Wagon last Saturday. I love the technology package and found it much more user friendly than all the other cars I test drove. Edge, Highlander, Jetta TDI, Tiguan, and Mazda CX9 just didn't measure up on my list of comparisons. I ordered the car in black with ebony interior. B/C of the heat factor, I had the windows tinted with 3M's crystalline tint and the car looks GREAT! I have only put 140 miles on it, but so excited to post a review, I couldn't wait. Cargo room is awesome!
Love this car!
This car is a perfect fit for me! So glad I found it. I typically get 29-30mpg. Very comfortable and has all the tech anyone could need. ***One built-in defect concerning the Bluetooth system and the car battery: The battery will die if the car is not driven within every three days. The car's Bluetooth system keeps trying to find a phone to connect to and runs the battery down. The only way to turn the Bluetooth system off is to disconnect the wires under a panel on the passenger side near the door.

Good Small Family CUV Alternative
I've owned this little wagon for over a year. I was pretty smitten at first, but like anything, living with it reveals faults. I must have bad spatial recognition; it's smaller than I thought. Even our young kids find the rear seating confining. Luggage space is adequate. We've added a Thule box for extended trips. Which... Brings down gas mileage to CUV territory because the little 4 cyl has to work extra hard. However, without the box we see 28 to 32mpg on the highway and 23 regularly in the city. Another gear would help, but the transmission shifts smoothly and when you want it.
GREAT CAR FOR THE MONEY
I brought this car traded my pathfinder for the acura tsx sport wagon.What a difference better gas mileage, smoother ride,luxury interior,great built.i love this car
Love my car... but easily could be much better
I have had mine for a month now, just over 1000 miles. Bought it because I wanted a small "sport wagon" but wanted Japanese reliability. I believe most pro reviews are pretty spot-on. It's nice, but could use more power or a sixth cog on the automatic. Paddle shifters are OK, but the standard auto seems tuned too much for fuel economy--Mazda's autos put it to shame. It also affects mileage, which is OK until you remember it's a 4-cylinder, then it's just ho-hum. Great fit and finish, wonderful stereo, too many buttons. If you want a high-quality, reliable luxo wagon, and can do without a V6 or AWD, I believe you'll like the TSX--But it could be a lot better with a 6-speed sport aut
Who needs a crossover?
I believe that Acura got it right when they came out with this outstanding wagon. I have this car now for a little over a month and it exceeds my expectations as to what a car means to me. I traded in my 2004 RAV4 which had the same amount of cargo space and about the same size engine. The Acura is quicker, handles much better and of course the design and luxury are noteworthy. I was surprised when receiving many favorable comments on my new car from strangers, such as "Now that is a beautiful looking wagon". I have not driven the car in winter yet, but I don't think that not having all wheel drive will make a big difference in my driving habits. The seats are very comfy with good visibility
From Mom wagon to stylish Empty nester transport
I purchased this car for the simple fact that I didn't want another minivan and at the time, crossovers were just kicking off. For the past 8 years I have adored this car. I typically fill the car up on the 15th and 30th because of the excellent gas mileage for a car that size. The power is just right to have the pickup you need in tight traffic situations but not too much that it will get away from you. In the city, the car is excellent. The storage area is great and with the seats folded down, you can get quite a bit in the car. I've moved 2 boys to and from college with this car using the roof rack for overflow and it has not given me one problem. Maintenance is great, very inexpensive to care for this car. I use my local Midas mechanics and they treat it like a baby. Even at 8 years old I still get looks and people can't believe it is a 2011 model. Young men love it and I even had one group of guys tell my son that it's a 'sweet ride man!' :-) You see very few on the road and when you do, heads do turn. Very stylish even now. White is the perfect color for this car. It looks so sleek. In regards to safety, I have no complaints. I've driven through the snow jam of 2014 in Atlanta and during the 12 hours, 20 mile drive home, the car was a champ. Thank goodness for the DVD system I had installed as we were entertained and comfortable. The seats are like sofas, especially the back seat. I was amazed at the amount of fuel used during that time, not 1/2 tank being that we were sitting for the most part but the fact that the car ran for a solid 12 hours in freezing conditions, we were warm, the windows stayed clear and there was no thought of the car breaking down or freezing up. I would not hesitate to recommend this car to anyone. Great for someone with small kids and pets. A dream on the highway. I can get from Atlanta to Tampa, Florida on 3/4 tank of gas!

I Love This Wagon!
I traded in my 2011 Honda Accord Coupe for this car after rescuing 2 dogs. I could not get them into the coupe very easily, so I bought the TSX Sportwagon. Tighter handling than the Accord. Smaller than the Accord - which is good. I LOVE the handling. Doesn't seem different from the sedan in ride and handling. Bluetooth could be better. Perfect space and great drive!
damn I'm going to miss this car.
If you don't need a big SUV this is the perfect vehicle . Dependable , roomy ,fun to drive,great in traffic and easy to park.

A Great Wagon
I own a base-model TSX wagon that I bought about a month ago. I like it a lot, I think it's a great car and the base costs at least 5-6k less than a bmw or audi. That said, I realize it's got compromises and doesn't really compete with the A4 or 3-series. I choose it because it's a solid, comfy and reliable car with some added utility. I think of it as a modern Volvo 240 wagon that I'll be able to drive for 10 years with few problems. It is fun to drive though and I can hit corners at a high rate of speed. The acceleration is fine, but not impressive, as every reviewer has said. Acura went wrong with the name and little else; it's not a "sport" wagon, but it is an excellent wagon.
Go Buy One Before they Run out!
I just bougth one this weekend. My wife and I have a newborn so this was a great compromise. I have a sporty vehicle that can carry all of the stuff that comes along with children. The ride is firm and is designed with a sporty driver in mind. Not everyone will like this much road feel but it is great for me. It has a lot of cargo room and handles like s sports car. It has every feature I could ever want and I didn't get the tech package. This is so much nicer than a lumbering SUV!
I Love This Car
I expect I will be buried with this car. Or perhaps buried in it. At 80,000 miles, the only service it has required are the periodic oil changes and new brakes and tires. Not bad for an eleven year old car. The one downside is that the regular tires do not handle snow or ice well at all. I bought studded snow tires soon after discovering this one fault and have been happy and safe ever since. I wish Acura would make this car again. I guess I'll be driving this one until they do or until I'm sticking my fork in my ear. Whichever comes first.

Get a Sport Wagon instead of SUV !!!
I traded 2008 Acura TL with new TSX Wagon! Reason is we start a family. I dont want SUV because the most SUV is prone to rollover I have very concern! And too much gas is eaten! I test drive a RDX, great performance but noisy because of turbo. Trunk space in RDX looks smaller than TSX wagon. TSX design of interior and exterior look beautiful! Power of K24 engine feels like V6 performance! Great MPG! I have had 88, 92 Integra, 02 Accord V6, and 08 TL, there were very few problems! Honda is the best reliable automaker EVER!

Great car, just be wary of the light front end in the snow or it could just be the tires

Great wagon
I sold my 03' Toyota Tacoma Double Caband picked up my TSX Wagon at the end of March. So far I'm very happy with it. I never expected it to be a sports car, so I feel that it has decent power. I'm really happy with the Gas mileage as it's easily 7-8mpg better than my truck. Cargo capacity is a lot less than my truck, but that was a given. I was still able to load a 4 burner gas grill (in box) from Lowes into the back cargo area as well as the gas tank and a few accessories. The tech package is quite daunting, and I only know a handfull of voice commands, but the nav works great, power lift gate is very useful and the sound system sounds great. So far, really happy with the car.
Great car with some minor flaws
We've had this car for a month and love it. Good gas mileage and nice luxury features but you are paying for the name plate and lux features rather than the performance. Ultimately, this is still the Euro Honda wagon with some upgrades. It is a fuel-efficient, small engine alternative to the SUV. As long as those facts are kept in mind and that is what you are after you will love it. The biggest short-fall for us is that the back-seat is not designed for child seats (sad for a family car). The buckle is recessed and the seat shape forces the booster right over the buckle making it impossible to use - seat belt extenders are required, and I am not sure what that means for safety.
A Good Little Car
So far so good. Good dealership as well.
