Car has plenty of power, smooth transmission and very responsive. I cannot imagine a better car for the money.

I have owned a 2005 TSX about a month now and enjoy driving it every time. I have taken it through its paces and it handles nimbly and with ease. I do find the seats to be a bit uncomfortable on long trips and the gear shift a bit cheap feeling, especially when in sport shift mode. Overall, I feel the quality and reliability to be one of its strong points. I chose this car over the Audi A4 due to its standard features, reliability and performance. It looks really cool in black with tinted windows.

This is my 2nd Acura (Integra GSR coupe previous), and my 3rd Honda product. I was jealous of anyone that had a TSX because I just knew what a great car it was by previous experience and awesome press raves. I didn't think I could afford one, but I was wrong. Being the enthusiast I am, I of course have the 6 speed model which is absolutely terriffic! Honda is known for their manual trannys, but this is 10 steps ahead...seriously. The exterior is understated, but classy and will look great in 10 years. I am very picky about my cars, and don't want something everyone else has. The TSX is a great jewel of a car that should be a definite consideration for people wanting it all.

The car looks Great and is fun to drive. Well built and reliable. Fuel mileage is ok but the power makes up for the average fuel mileage. Overall its the best car I've ever owned!

The best drive I ever had in the TSX was the test drive. It makes a very good first impression. This quickly wears off though after you drive it for a month or two. It quickly develops rattles and squeaks and the precise handling quickly loses alignment. It's never starts without cranking too long. The fuel economy is much worse than advertised, even under optimal conditions. Seats are narrow and uncomfortable for an average-sized person. No side-body protective molding. Also, some of the fancy features are poorly implemented. It has power seats but no position memory which is worse (slower and less reliable) than plain old manual seats. There's no "mute" button for the stereo.
