After shopping wagons the best was quite obvious.

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.

Had a 2005 Mazda6 wagon before. Wanted either a wagon or crossover with good handling and mileage. Drove the Tiguan, Jetta, CRV, and 3-series. Most of the crossovers drive "okay", car-like but detached handling and so-so mileage. BMW had lousy standard equipment, and the Jetta was nice but a little narrow (coming from a midsize Mazda). The TSX was perfect sized and I am getting 31-34 MPG on trips! Passed on the TECH package (have my own Nav)to keep the price reasonable. Standard stereo is very good( I sell Home Electronics). The standard equipment on the TSX is amazing and is great value compared to other midsize offerings. The 4 cylinder is efficient and powerful.

Acura TSX should be a best-seller

It's early September '13 and I must like this car, because I've put nearly 8,000 miles on it since purchasing it April 5. I can't understand why this car isn't more popular: It's the right size, with more cargo space (and higher reliability) than the Audi A4 wagon. It's fun to drive, and offers great mileage. I considered a 2014 Mazda 6, but needed something I could haul my bicycle in. Also considered Subaru Outback, but they are like bellybuttons--everyone has one. I must travel more than 100 miles to the nearest dealer, but I have no regrets. Great car. I seldom see others like it on the road. Wish I saw more of 'em.

Know that you belong to an exclusive club that found this hidden automotive jewel among the many boring crossovers and smaller SUVs. When I started looking for something with more "practicality" I wanted something fun to drive like my Mazda Miata and the comfort of my wife's Jaguar, I stopped at the Acura dealer after seeing a TSX Wagon blow past me on the highway. One test drive and I was sold. NO REGRETS! Handles like a sports car, the 2.4 twin cam I-Vtec sreams to 7,000 rpm and with the paddle shifters you can have additional fun. The heated leather seats combined with the Tech Package and sound system make trips a breeze. Has more c/f of luggage space than many medium SUVs. We haul bikes, skis, dogs and grandchildren with speed, grace and comfort. Honda/Acura reliability, styling way better than the sedan....what a deal!

I think it's one of the best looking wagons on the road and it's rare. The four cylinder is competent, loves to rev and has a great exhaust note. The engine really begs you to floor it. Unfortunately, the best MPG I have ever gotten was 27 and was from Seattle to Portland and usually I average around 21-22. The mpg tracker is consistently off by 1 gallon. The back seats are tight for such a large looking car. Lots of cubby holes and hiding spots. The power hatch is great. The rear wheel wells take up a lot of space in the wagon part and the curved sporty backend of the wagon makes getting larger items into the back a challenge at times. The backend isn't a square opening.

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.

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.

Originally bought one for my wife, but I was extremely impressed with it, so I bought another for myself. We now have twins (different colors) in our garage. I could not be more pleased with them, averaging 23-25 mpg around town, and over 31 mpg on the highway. While I was concerned with only a 4 cylinder engine in the cars, they have proven to be even more exciting than the heavily Yamaha-massaged V-6 in our previous Mercury Sable (plus a lot better on gas). I've owned 5 Acuras previous to these two, and can verify that they will go to 200,000 miles with little or no concern. Why anyone would chose a "small" SUV over this comfortable wagon escapes me completely.

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.

Incredible Value, Fun to Drive and Great Utility + Luxury

So far I love my '12 TSX wagon. The 4-cylinder has plenty of power, especially where I need it (from stop & highway passing) plus I have averaged 29.5 MPG for the first 3K in combined city / highway driving. The front seats are very comfortable. The base audio system sounds great. The utility of having a wagon is great for IKEA runs, toting my bike, etc. The interior is finished very nicely for this price point, it feels like a luxury car. The value of this wagon compared to the Subaru Outback or the Volvo XC70 is incredible. My understanding is that Acura will be discontinuing it after next year, and I will be sad to see it go.

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.

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.

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!

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.

While the 2012 TSX SportWagon is stylish, comfortable, and amazingly reliable, I find myself wishing it's straight-line acceleration was as marvelous as the rest of the car. The 2.4 L engine's 200hp/170lbft are only adequate. A turbocharger that punches with 235+hp/260+lbft that arrives significantly below 2000 RPM in a utilitarian vehicle that handles like a, well, a CAR, is a recipe that would keep me out of high-CoG SUVs permanently. If Honda would build a 9-speed DCT into such a vehicle, the need for SUVs would become a moot point. BTW, I like the Technology Package's Nav & SiriusXM. The mini-Jack & USB inputs, like most, need to have volume equalization programming so users don't wake the dead changing to CD/FM/satellite radio sources from theUSB/mini-Jack sources. I'd buy this car again if they were still building them. I can imagine buying a 2019 RDX to get the utility my TSX offers. Great MPG; useful design; good looks; and, in Wisconsin, warm weather & winter(<40 degreesF) tire/wheels make this my ideal utility vehicle. I just wish it had more sport, too.

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.

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

We went to the nearby Acura dealership to purchase the newly re-designed Acura RDX back in 2012. Yet, the jet black 2012 S Wagon TSX caught our eye. It's counterpart sedan was also an impressive car, but since we were parents of a 2 year old with one on the way,we needed some additional head room in the storage/cargo area. The s-wagon made sense. It had ample room to store everything from strollers to beach gear. The compartment under the trunk lid is also very useful. Additionally, the leather is great. Real leather at no additional cost for an entry level vehicle unlike some of the German counterpart wagons we looked at. The tech package is easy to use with bluetooth, nav., a cooler in the arm rest console for warm days, where you can store a cold can of soda! It was phenomenol. The rear seats split allowing storage for longer items. The auto 6 way adjustable seats are also great as are the memory seating. The heated pereforated seats help out alot and you can keep it on the low setting. Performance wise, the car is very conservative on gas consumption. Additionally, it performs relatively well. It is fun to drive as you can paint the road lines with the car. Steering and handling are awesome. it does lack some juice, but the inlive V-4 engine is pretty solid and comparable to some low end V-6 model vehicles. I would say the trade off for saving on gas and the little bit of extra juice you get off the V-6 is well worth it for this car. Overall, great family car with tons of features and luxury amentities. I think this is an awesome car for a starter family, that can double as a great and comfortable commuter car for kings. Acura also holds value and runs like a champ for years, as this is our second acura we purchased. I think we will ride this one for a while. Too bad they stopped making this model. it truly is one of a kind. Oh and it looks so much more sporty than your typical Subaru Outback type japanese wagon. Some friends even mistake it for a hatchback for those who have a stigma against sports wagons. In Eurpose wagons have way more clout.

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

It's still new to me, but this is what I've got so far...Very nice car to drive. I checked out the competition and this was the only wagon, with all the options, that wouldn't break my budget. I've read all the reviews and for me it has plenty of power, I was more concerned about the mileage. The only down fall I've found, there are too many questions for the navigation (voice command) I'd like to be able to just say the address with out all the "yes" or "no's". You might have trouble getting out of the back seat, if you're an adult, but I have an SUV if I'm taking company. Bottom line, it's a European Accord, the only thing different is the decals. Honda has been making this car a long time, they know what their doing. Plus like every other Honda, they hold their value .

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 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!

We have missed the Accord wagon since we traded our 91, and here it is again, updated and more luxurious. We traded a 2011 RL, a very disappointing car. The TSX makes up for it, and reminds us of what Honda motors has always done well - great drive train, agile handling, lots of features, comfortable seats, great driving position, good sight lines and 28.6 mpg overall over 4000 miles, plus its the first Acura we've owned (out of six) with no rattles and squeaks. Ours is an unusual (and very macho) violet. I also have a 2112 ML350, but this is the care we choose on weekends around town. Plus, Acura is dealing.

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.

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 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.

Def rides like a luxury car w/o the price tag. I fit a 60" in tv in the cargo area. A. It sluggish on acceleration and I have had issues with the Bluetooth connectivity. Other happy no major maintenance costs at 45,000 yet. Super dealer support.

Very nice looking but it has suffered from many reliability issues. I am on my third battery in 6 years. The navigation system screen changes illumination without warning or reason. The master cylinder went out prematurely. It loses cell phone connectivity without reason or warning BUT recovers after a few minutes. It has suffered terrible tire vibration issues since initial delivery. It has no spare tire or even a donut ! My third and last Acura !

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!

2012 TSX Wagon w/Tech Package

Having had my 2012 TSX wagon for a month now, I am in a position to offer some feedback. Gas mileage - keep it under 75mph on a flat road, and you will likely get 33 mpg. City/suburan driving tends to run around 24-25 mpg. Handling - very good. Interior comfort - very good. Performance - average to good, but not really sporting. I do think that the wagon is overpriced, but then I also think that no new car is worth its sticker price. Too much hard plastic and carpeting is more like mouse fur. I bought it because every Honda product that I have owned has been very reliable.

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

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.

Try to figure out why VW did not launch the Passat Variant for its new model! The stationwagon segment has so few models in the mid range segment. As a german car fan I had to try the Acura for the 1st time, and I am impressed with its driving experience (reminded my Audi A3) so nimble, tight in curves, and its interior is gourgeous.

I've had my TSX Sports Wagon a couple of months now. The negative reviews I have seen are that it is under-powered (I disagree) and it has older technology (some of it could be upgraded but it is adequate). Since the 2012 was the same as the 2013, I was able to get a 2012 deeply discounted (which also factored highly into buying this vehicle). I compared this to the Ford Escape Titanium and 2014 Mazda CX7. I really like the technology package on the Mazda (it has Tom Tom) and the Ford was VERY nice. I just liked the way the the Acura handled better and it has a decent amount of cargo space. I also think the Acura will be more reliable in the long run.

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.

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.

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.

This has been a totally reliable and attractive car. It’s needed basic maintenance and that’s all. If Acura made a 2018 or 2019 model of this car, I’d rush to buy it. Adding to my old review: I still love this car. I will be looking to buy a car with the newest safety features and am so sorry Acura didn’t update this model.
