2006 TSX - Well Designed/ Solid/Reliable Vehicle

2006 Acura TSX 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A)

I have a 2006 TSX that I bought with 92,000 miles and it is still running strong at 145,000 miles. The only repairs I have made on the car were the alternator, passenger door lock actuator, idler pulley & seized rear brake caliper. It drives nice, accelerates decently for a 4-cylinder and has almost no rattles or squeaks for it's age and mileage. I would definitely recommend this vehicle as a used car if you can find someone who maintained it well. The original Michelin MXM4 tires are worth the extra cash as they match perfectly with the car's handling abilities (wet or dry). I wish the HID headlights were made of glass as the plastic fades into a ugly haze. The leather seats are in perfect condition and the interior hardware has held up nicely. The Bluetooth phone feature doesn't work as well as newer cars and I have difficulty consistently connecting to my phone. Other than that it's a fantastic car and I really love everything about it.

Bought my 2006 TSX in 2009, was pre-loved. Was a great upgrade from my Mazda6, the car was very reliable basically a Honda in a different skin all the way around. Nice car I would seriously have trusted it to go AT LEAST till 200k. But I took a friend to buy a new car.. a BMW... and ended up trading it in for one also. By far a great safe car. Love the standard bluetooth in a 2006! And all the standard features vs not so standard on bmw :(

The thing I love about this car besides performance, looks and handling is the fact that there are no major inherent problems with this vehicle. So years, makes models of cars have known major issues like bad transmissions, electrical issues etc. but this car has had none. I've owned mine for 4 years and have only had to do basic regular maintenance stuff, oil and filter changes, new tires, brakes battery....so if your looking for a good performance car with little to no major issues go with a tsx.

My 2006 TSX has just turned 10 years old with 160,000 miles. The only repair has been the replacement of one fuse. Still have original brakes. My only complaint is that the controls are not particularly intuitive and blue tooth is old tech to set up. Also the CD player doesn't show the track times. Otherwise this car does everything better than good. Not a rattle or squeak. If you need a reliable used car - this is the one to get. Have sold my Acura to a high school student and she loves tis vehicle and after 1 1/2 years has no problems with it. 12 years old and still running like it did 10 years ago. Over 200,000 miles and runs like new!

We bought this car used the summer of 2010. It had about 43K on it. It was totaled last week with 84 K on it. We never had a problem with the car. We did the standard maintenance and never had to think about it. The car wrecked well. I was rear ended by a large truck traveling at a high speed. I walked away from the wreck with a broken nose saying that I wanted another Acura. The impact shifted the car off the frame so badly that the plastic components on the inside popped off; however, the passenger compartment stayed intact. It doesn't matter how a car looks or even if it has a good repair history--what matters is will you walk away from a high-impact wreck.

TSX is a very Reliable & Solid Used Vehicle

I bought my 2006 TSX with 92,000 miles in 2013 and I now have 140,000 on the odometer. I have only replaced the alternator and one door lock actuator during this time. I put a new battery, tires and new brakes/rotors on it. It would be an excellent used car for someone who is looking for reliability, sportiness, safety and comfort. At 140,000 it has no rattles or squeaks, the interior hardware has held up nicely. The leather seats are in almost perfect condition. The paint has held up even though it is parked outside in the Texas sun. The struts are original and the starter is original.

Coming off of driving a 2000 BMW Z3 I certainly had an appetite for something with a sporty feel. But for a daily commuter I needed something a bit more practical. As soon as I got behind the wheel to test this car I knew I was going to buy it. The perforated leather seats maintain a modern look and offer great comfort (I've even received compliments on comfort from passengers in the back seats). The steering feels precise and "substantial"... it feels sporty and heavy enough but is still smooth and comfortable. I was actually quite impressed with the headlights as they are very brights and white. Significantly better than many other cars I've driven. The audio system and aux input are more than enough for me to appreciate some music and podcasts on the way to and from work. All in all this car knows how to have fun while keeping you comfortable and maintaining its composure.

Update! Still a great car! I I saw one on the local Acura lot with 300k, and they wanted $10,000, which is 4 more than I paid 5 years ago. I did have to replace the alternator and AC. Other than those 2 things it’s been flawless and worth maintaining. It's not easy to find one in good shape, but the 2006-2008 TSX is fantastic. I bought an 06 with 150K and love it every time I get behind the wheel. Controls are logically laid out and where you would want them. The true quality is in the driving experience. I test drove both Mercedes and BMW but neither was as much fun to drive as this car! The engine power seems well balanced to the car and never feels like it breaks a sweat. The size is perfect, as the TL is larger but also heavier and gets horrible MPG. This get s 25 city and 30 highway. I was lucky and found one that was garage kept and faithfully maintained by the dealer. Other perks are the sound system, xenon headlights, ancient but very usable NAV, and looks almost new. ***Updated*** I've owned the car for 3 years and it's been almost carefree other than a couple issues. All were original parts that needed upgrading and were a little pricey. For example the compressor and evaporator system, tie rods and starter. The car still is incredibly reliable, drives like a dream and I love it. Updated in December of 2021 - TSX now has 180K miles. This car is still fantastic! It outlived a 2009 Camry with 150k miles! The Camry was not worth the thousands to fix it. So yes, during the worst time in history to purchase another car, we had to replace it. Funny though, on the lot was a 2006 TSX with 300,000 miles; and they wanted more for it than I paid for mine six years ago with half the mileage! That's proof that Acura holds it's value. Sadly, I wanted to replace it with another and test drove the TLX. I hated it it (12 gears in tranny) and the reliability went down (according to consumer reports).

Unbeatable at Anywhere Near its Price

The TSX displays a marvelous balance between smooth power delivery, sure-footed handling, braking, responsive steering, and comfort; this balance is what makes the TSX fun to drive. Besides fun, it comes loaded with just about every feature standard, provides high reliability, and low TCO for a luxury car. The TSX automatic model is powerful enough for spirited driving on streets, twisting roads, and freeways. SportShift mode helps compensate for the TSX's low torque at low RPM. I find SportShift a viable option to a manual shift. TSX is more fun than the TL. Gas mileage: 19+/32+ MPG city/country. Experience: Manual Acura Legend, Lexus ES300 and LS400, Manual BMW 3.0S, BMW 540, BMW 740.

Acura/Honda really made a good car with this one. Had car over 4 yrs. Great, precise handling and sublime shifting action with 6 speed manual. Purchased the Acura A-Spec suspension kit that adds to handling and gives car slightly more aggressive stance. Extensive standard equipment list as well (I like the xenons). A lot of people think my car is a lot more recent and are shocked when I tell them it's an '06. Very comfortable seats as well. Also has nice and sharp, clean sedan looks to it and isn't too gaudy (see 10th gen Civic) and doesn't have looks that will age with time like a lot of new designs. Visibility is good all around even with rear wing spoiler. Only thing I wish was that the city gas mileage was better, especially considering this car isn't a blazer. Also wish passenger window had auto up/down feature. I've also noticed recently I've had to carry around a quart of oil around between oil changes to top off. Car does have close to 110k now however. Overall great car that I'd recommend to anyone looking for a sporty entry level luxury car. To me Acura was at their peak with the 04-08 TSX and TL. Now they sadly don't even offer a manual option for any car in their lineup.

I've owned some nice cars in the past, many that were considerably more expensive. The TSX is a tremendous value. I drive 30,000 mile a year. I need a comfortable car, but I also want the performance and handling. It's not always easy to find both. Acura got it just right in the TSX.

This car has so many pluses - handles great, bullet proof engine/transmission, a 6 speed manual shifter that is a gem. Short throw shifts - get it in the max torque band of 4000 RPM and it won't disappoint! Don't get me wrong, it's not a turbo-charged or straight 6 - 3 series, but it is priced accordingly, so please stop with the comparisons. Absolutely nothing has failed on it - the only things that have been done so far are brakes, tires, and oil changes (try that on your BMW). Do yourself a favor and install a high flow air filter, as it does make a noticeable difference. I have found the mileage to be on the high side, with no problem getting over 30 mpg on highway trips doing 70-75. Controls are very simple, but navigation is poor by yesterday's standards. 4/13/18 Update: After 10 years of worriless driving, sold the car with 108k miles. I miss the slick shifting manual and down-shifting into turns, but the car needed to be driven, which I am sure the new owner is doing.

As a former owner of 2 BMW's, a Lexus and a Mini, the TSX is the most fun to drive car for the money. After being beset with major quality issues with both of my BMW's (complete transmission failure and replacement at 1,500 miles for example, 12 trips to the dealer in 2 years, etc.), a nice, but too-soft ride and numb steering in the Lexus ES, and a fun-to- drive, but uncomfortable rear-seat and hardly any storage in the MINI, the TSX is the best all-around car I have found. For $27k you cannot beat it - plus Acura's famous quality and service. I highly recommend it.

This is my third Acura. The car just feels solid and has great safety features. It's fun to drive, feels just like what you would want out of a sports car mixed perfectly with a luxury ride. I had the RSX type S before this, and I lost absolutely no engine power, and the braking system is amazing, the car really stops on a dime. I can say nothing bad about this car. The electronics are great, especially the information screen in the dash board. It tells you exactly what you need to know! I always installed aftermarket stereos in my car, and felt no need to do that in this car! Great comfort and fun!

Looked at BMW and Lexus before realizing this was the best for far less. Car is amazing on gas and have achieved 35mpg highway going to Massachusetts. Everything works great and performs well. Put on snow tires for it and does very well in slippery conditions. Great car for a kid or commuter or simply around town. Would recommend to anyone. Son is buying mine and i will be getting another one.

As a sales rep with a fairly large territory, I will put approximately 25,000 miles on the TSX this year. I would like a little more pep from the engine, but I'm very satisfied with the fuel economy. Handling is superb, and the automatic transmission in manual mode delivers very satisfying performance on winding roads. The interior is very comfortable (although I'd like a little more drama), and the stereo is simply incredible. The exterior styling is a little too BMW-like, but it's still very easy on the eyes. With nearly 25,000 miles on the car already, I've had no problems - none. And now with the posted highest resale value for a sedan, I know that I made an excellent choice.

The TSX is a bargain. Based on the sportier European Accord, it is a sporty in-town grocery runner, and a comfortable interstate cruiser. Lots of headroom, even with a sunroof. Wish Acura would offer the white exterior with the quartz gray interior.

I purchased my 2006 Acura TSX in October 2009 and except for brakes and tires I have not had ANY major problems with it. I have had it regularly serviced as recommended. I LOVE my car.

The 6-speed manual is very smooth shifting. All of the controls are right where I expect them to be. I never have to reach far for anything. Bluetooth hands free connection built into the car. This is a great feature for anyone who drives a manual. I can now answer or make a phone call without ever having to remove my left hand from the steering wheel or my right hand from the shifter.

This car does everything well, and theres nothing wrong with it on paper. Unfortunately, there's nothing exciting about it in real life - a jack of all trades. I was in the market for a BMW 325, an Audi A4 1.8T and a TSX. I drove all three, and was not very impressed with the way the Audi drove. The TSX gave me everything I wanted in a car and more for 3K less. I wish I had paid that 40 bucks a month more to get a 3 series. I am looking to trade my car in in less than a year. Dont get me wrong - this is an OUTSTANDING car for the 27 odd you spend. Tremendous value - It's certainly a great alternative to a Camry. But if youre comparing it with a 325... spend the extra 3k.

I loved the car when I first bought it, but two years later, I am looking to get rid of it. The interior road noise is louder than my truck. The wipers were very streaky from the day I bought the car. The car does not handle well in snow. My leather seats are already wearing out. I drive over 60 miles a day and every day I grow to dislike it a little more. The gas mileage when when I frist bought it averaged between 30-32 MPG, now I am lucky if I can get over 25 MPG. My seats take forever to heat up now, at first they were HOT in a flash. On the plus side, Acura DOES give a lot of options for the money. Very sporty and fun!

I love this car! I bought it 4 days ago and every day I can't wait to drive the 30 miles to work! I had been looking for a new car for 4 months and no car had everything I wanted. I was so frustrated. Then a friend told me about Acura! I didn't think we could afford it, but after taking one test drive, I was in love! It has everything! And, it's all included in the base model! It's everything I ever wanted in a car! It's just 100% pure class! And I love the fact that you don't see a million of them everywhere! I love it!!

Great car. Had an 04 Accord EX 2-door before my TSX. I was afraid they would be very similar - I was wrong. The TSX has a better ride, handling and even though I felt like I got more power out of my manual Accord, the automatic TSX does have a little more horsepower. Comparing the TSX to like cars for the same price - the TSX offers way more options and features. No comparison.

I buy a new vehicle about every year or two. This is my second TSX. I had an 05 model and just purchsed an 06. I love these cars. The ride in my 06 is somewhat smoother than the 05, and the bluetooth and ipod jack are a nice addition for 06 along with the 17" wheels and tires. If you want a semi- luxury car that is different from what most people drive with excellent fuel ecomony THIS IS YOUR CAR!!! On top of all that...it is a blast to drive. I never had to take my 05 to the dealership for anything but an oil change. Such a nice change from American made cars.

95,000 miles and original brake pads still servicable, although rotors must be warped a little as the car has begun to shudder under braking from highway speeds. Car has recently developed a strange whine at times from the rear end(?) but only when backing up. These are the only issues this car has had in the 4 1/2 years we've owned it.

When looking for a practical yet sport sedan for under $30k there is simply nothing better. You can't beat Acura reliability not to mention this car is a lot of fun on the highway. Couple this with the almost 30mpg I am averaging and this makes for the best car for under $30k. Also, I currently have 70k miles on this car and haven't spent a penny on it, aside from routine maintenance (oil changes, etc)

Tested 325, C230, IS 250 and settled on the TSX. The vtec-4 engine is as smooth and strong as the competitors' V6 or I6. Handling wise, TSX's FWD gave little away to RWD rivals under regular street driving . While the base prices are in the same range, by the time you spec up to match the TSX (leather, cd changer, xeon, 17" wheel) you are looking at something like $10k higher, so for me it was an easy decision. Only negative I have is with blind spots. The thick front A-pillar, steeply raked windshield, and high trunk lid all make it hard for my wife (5'4") to drive and park in tight spots. Granted this is not unique to TSX as the IS is as bad if not worse.

This car was purchased second hand with approximately 15,000 miles near model year end. It has provided dependable transportation around towns and on the highway and has had no major issues other than replacing the battery. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone!

This has to be the best 4 cylinder engine on the market, it is phenomenal. You can really motor in this car. I use mainly on the highways to go back and forth to work and its a great commuting car. Its a small car, but very comfortable on the inside even for someone 6 feet tall like me. The gas mileage is great, I average 30 miles on the highway. All the features on the car are standard, Navigation is the only option which makes life a lot easier. Best car for $30K on the market.

I recently purchased a used 2006 TSX, trading in my 2005 Nissan Altima. My initial impressions are that the build quality is very good, I'm actually getting better gas mileage than the 4cyl Nissan engine, and the car is fun to drive. There are a few convenience features that the Altima had that the TSX strangely are lacking. Kinda weird you can't view total mileage and outside temp at the same time. Have to hit the unlock button to open drivers side door, and the sunroof controls are in a crazy place. I still find myself reaching up to open the sunroof only to realize the button is down on the bottom side of the dash. No auto headlights?

I got this car used for almost a year now and I must say the TSX has so much to offer. It came with VSA, ABS, a great engine that produces 205 hp, very low insurance rates, 3 garage door openers on the top of the car next to the lights (Don't know what feature it's called LOL), Leather seats, very great comfort. I averaged 25 - 27 miles per gallon for the first 3 months because I did not realize the TSX uses Premium unleaded (90) and I have been refueling with Regular Unleaded (87) fuel. It now averages well between 29 - 33 mpg 50/50 city/highway (Phew). I never had any problems with the TSX so far, only had to change oil once 7 months after I got the car. Have not drove in snow yet.

As a traveling salesman I avg 1200 miles per week and this has been the perfect great performance, reliability, great value for car. No doubt I'll get 300,000 miles out of the car. I'll buy another one when this one is done.

Bought the TSX very used

During a recent snowstorm which rendered the roads sheet ice, my 6 speed manual with VSA was the only car making it up the icy hills. For a 10 year old car, it performed like a champ. I've driven mostly Honda and Acura products and will continue to buy them but am very sad to see that manual transmissions are becoming harder to find in new Acuras. Sadly I may have to get an x drive 3 series BMW for my next car.

06 TSX a Driver's Car

This is a stylish, fun to drive sports sedan. Sure you can get the excellent TL, but if you don't need the size, this car makes a lot of sense. The TL is based on the American built Accord. The TSX is a J built sedan made for the Autobahn. I recently packed it with 4 adults and all their luggage for a weekend. There was plenty of room and plenty of power. I average 28 MPG. In my book the 6 speed manual transmission is a must. The revy 4cyl loves to go to redline. This is a true driver's car.

I love my 2006 Acura Tsx. I purchased my car at Mac Churchill Acura in Fort Worth. I have been very happy since my purchase and services rendered at this car dealership. Since then my family and friends now own Acuras , a total of 7 Acuras all to each ones needs. Very grateful and appreciative. Thanks Mac Churchill Acura from all of us!

This is an extremely reliable, well-built sedan with virtually every piece of equipment included--power leather seats, moonroof, navi, dual zone climate control, HID headlights, foglights, etc. Materials used inside above average. Great driver's car and good everyday sedan. Really didn't age much over 100K miles.

In the past three years I've owned a 1998 BMW 3-series, a 2003 Audi A4 and a 2005 Volvo S40 T5. This car is so far beyond all of these cars, it leaves nothing to be considered. The best car I've ever owned in every way. Smooth, quiet, handling, features and (maybe best of all) PRICE! Would recommend to anyone.

It's very easy to maneuver. It always give you more power when you need it. It's quiet. The only thing I did not like is that it feels hard on the road. It's not smooth. Overall it is a good car.The visor is wide enough that it protects me from the glare unlike the other cars I had. I had to buy an extender. You see I am on the short side.

I like the fact that this car comes with everything the TL has now. The DVD audio is the only exception but that's trivial. So far, if I can't live without the Homelink system to open my security gate and garage door. I truly appreciate the heated seats for my sore back. The navigation is fantastic. I don't know how I ever survived without HID headlights! I had a chance to borrow a Samsung A940 Bluetooth phone to try out the pairing. It worked great even though the phone is not supported. My only concerns right now are the squeaking creaking front seats which I heard is some sort of seat rail issue.

Is a great car and an even better value. I came from a three-year lease on a loaded Saab 9-3, and although there are a few missing "luxury" features I used on the Saab, I really enjoy the TSX. Drives great, and the voice recognition and bluetooth features work flawlessly (see comment). Coming from the Saab, had to learn to rev engine higher before shifting for response, but never does the car feel underpowered.

I have never been happier with a vehicle, and will be keeping this vehicle long term. I get great mileage with the vehicle, ranging from 26 MPG city 30 Highway in the winter, and 29 city 33 Highway in the summer. The car has as much get up and go as I will ever need. The handling is simply outstanding. The only complaints I have with the vehicle is the console doesn't provide enough leg room for the right leg, and gets uncomfortable on long trips. It needs a visor extender on the driver side also.
