Used 2004 Acura TSX Consumer Reviews
TSX In A Word: Balance
If you're looking for the fastest or most-likely-to-be-envied-by-your- buddies, keep looking. The TSX is all about balance between engine, transmission, handling, brakes, economy, and luxury. Having driven all of its competitors, none do those things as well as this superb Acura. No wonder Car & Driver keeps voting it a 10-Best winner. I've had my '04 for two years, and I look forward to my commute every day. How many cars do that for you?
TSX ABOVE AND BEYOND THE COMP FOR LESS $
I bought my TSX back in August and by far it is the most fun I have had driving a car. I have owned BMW's and test drove the rest, and the TSX performance/standard options/and fuel economy blow the comp away. Waiting to see if there are any upgrades (chip wise) for the engine, however it is still got the awesome pep for a 4 cyl. The TSX turns heads without a doubt, most compliments I have ever received about a car, and people do not believe me when I tell them how much it costs.

DON'T BUY THIS RATTLE BOX
I cannot tell you how many times this vehicle has been back to the dealership for service! Noises, rattles, loose parts, defective sedt bracket 2x. The door trim noises, creeks and vibrations/rattles indicate a design defect in this TSX deign. Seven times and they still cannot correct the problems! Seats wearing prematurely as well. Japanese quality is truly SLIPPING. Not sure it's worth the money. Shame on Honda/Acura for such poor quality.
TSX Cool Ideas But...
After owning this car for a few weeks, I would not buy it again. The Stereo System is bad...really bad and the power is far too law for a 28k car. The interior is nice, but small and Acura has done a great job with the Navigation System (but the LCD screen looks blurry like a stretched graphic image). Road noice is also very noticeable and I honestly feel like I am in a 1989 Integra with a few updates.
Must be a lemon
I was very taken by the price/value of this car. However I have had many problems. Brakes, AC, Stereo and console lights to name a few. The car was not designed to be servived affordably. Total cost of ownership has been comparable to more expensive cars I passed up that include better warranties. Should have bought a BMW.
