Used 2012 Acura TSX Sport Wagon Consumer Reviews
TSX Wagon best car for me...
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 .

Terrific Car
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.

Love this soccer mom wagon!!
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.

Great looking but Quirky
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 !

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 value in performance wagon-
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.
Best SW in the US!
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.
So Far, So Good!
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.
Good looking wagon
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.
Have been very pleased
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.
