A truly wonderful automobile

I've owned this car for over a month so far and cannot be happier with my decision to buy it. I had cross-shopped this vehicle with the BMW 3-series (reliability concerns and much less value for money), Audi A4 (again, less value for the money), Lexus IS 300 (too small) and Mazda6 (inferior build quality). No other vehicle was comparable to the all-around the performance, quality, and features found in the TSX. The power is excellent especially for a 4-cylinder engine, and the handling is taut and precise. The interior is very nicely appointed, and the car comes fully loaded. I opted against the only option - the navigation feature as I didn't think it was necessary for my needs.

Owned 325i and never thought Japan could win me back. BMW clearly has edge in handling and 6 is silk but TSX is infinitesimally behind. Throw in standard equipment and reliability and it is offer I could not refuse. Need to learn how to drive the 2.4. Remarkably tractable around town but when you really get into it the engine responds in a way only Acura iVTEC can. From high 3000's to redline just keeps pulling. Comfort and ambiance at top of class. Considered TL but its value measures against 5 series or E class. If you are in market for entry level sports sedan DRIVE THE TSX NOW

Just torn...

It has been almost a year since I got my TSX, and I love it. Navi is great, but fuel economy is not what it is hyped to be. Exterior design is pretty blah and for the price i expect more HP! overall it has been amazingly reliable and a great car. The delay before being able to use navi, radio, or AC is pretty annoying especially when Im in a hurry.. however the Navi has never failed me. As fun as it is to frive and as reliable and affordable (concidering all the ammenities) it could use some improvement...

Impressed on TSX

The wife and I stopped by our Acura dealer, mainly because I wanted to test drive a TL. But after driving the TSX, I was convinced the TSX was a much better value, as I didn't feel the TL delivered enough for the extra $6,000. Bottom line: the TSX's 4 cyl really surprised me. It can ride somewhat rough on bumpy surfaces, but that's to be expected with sporty cars. About 30 mpg on highway, which is decent.

Entry level sports sedan

The 6-spd manual is a blast to drive. The throws are sweet and short. The 2.4L I-4 has good low end torque and can boogie at the upper rpms. The interior is beautiful with just about every luxury feature one would want. The factory stereo with in dash 6 disc changer is very powerful and crisp with great imaging. Fuel economy is as good as 30 mpg on highway. The ride is sporty without being too harsh or jarring. Good size backseat can actually accommodate 2-3 adults.
