Used 2008 Acura TSX 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6M) Consumer Reviews
Great Ride! Great Price!
I focused my search to upgrade my ride from a long-in-the-tooth '98 Civic EX (168,00 miles and still going strong) on the Honda and Toyota lines. I wanted an economical sedan that was an upgrade from a Civic. I considered Solara, Camry, Lexus IS, and Accord. The TSX was an easy winner - based on value, appearance, size, and performance. My wife drives an '05 Accord and when we first test drove the TSX, she said "It looks like my Accord". Let me assure you, this is definitely not an Accord. The TSX is shorter and narrower than an Accord (it is actually more similar in size to my Civic). From a performance standpoint this car has great road feel. Try it, you will like it.
Enjoying 3rd gear a lot :)
I went from a 1993 Honda accord with 250,000 mi on it to this brand new 2008 TSX 6 speed manual. The car is fun to drive, love the interior, tame when you want it to be, and gives you that push back in your seat feel. Plus it is fully loaded. Your options are, with nav or without. This is what I did not like about the Lexus IS 250, you had to compromise on gadgets.

2008 Acura TSX 6 - Speed
I bought the car about 3 months ago and it has exceeded my expectation. I read that it was considered slow, but that has not been my experience...any rev above 3k RPM will get the car moving and once you get to the 6k RPM the vtec kicking is a joy to behold. The 6 speed manual transmission is one of the best I have driven with a precise and close gear box. The clutch is a little tricky but you should get a hang of it in a couple of days. The handling of the car is amazing, and getting off off rumps and driving in twists is really enjoyable, the car goes where you point it and has no body roll. Generally a great entry level luxury car with some sportiness..
