Not great in snow. Excellent fuel mileage. Over 40 MPG on road trip and averages 28 MPG in city. However, premium fuel. Good road feel with little body roll. Front seats are supportive. Very reliable and spacious trunk. My second TSX, previous 2007. Dealer is excellent. Nice solid sports sedan. It won't overwhelm you with performance, but it doesn't take a ton of cash to maintain. When starting, delay in engine cranking over. Replaced starter as possible solution. Wished Acura had push button starter in this model. Continues to be reliable, just remember that starting has that slight delay. Little wear on tires and brakes. Overall, a great satisfying experience! Local Acura/Boise dealer is excellent!

I've enjoyed my 2009 Acura and am now considering buying out the lease at lease end. This car is an amazing value for the price; great exterior appearance, superb handling (I have the 6 speed manual tranny), and comfortable seating for 4 adults. Edmunds kind of pinged the quality of the interior, but I find that the textured materials used on the dash and the leather in the seating to being close to BMW 3-series vehicles. The only real issue I have found is that there has always been a high frequency noise that comes from the car always at 3200 - 3400 RPM. It isn't terribly loud, but it is there and can be a little annoying. The dealer has told me that it is nothing to worry about tho.
High mileage, reliable, great car

Has over 200k on it and still drives like new. Burns eats or leaks no oil what so ever, which is odd because these engines are known for vanishing oil. Brakes are the one weak point, they go fast and generally aren't super reactive. ELS sound system is better than almost every other stock sound system I have heard. On long road trips, I average (you ready?) THIRTY EIGHT MILES PER GALLON. Yes, I understand the computer is not the most accurate when it comes to estimating mpg, but I got this with fill up to fill up math, multiple times, it's not an anomaly. I get this on regular 87 also. After this car, it's Acura for life for me. Well, until I can afford a lexus LS anyway.

I've had two Audi A4s and a Ford Fusion, all of which I liked very much. However, for the money, the Acura TSX is the best car I've had. Excellent fuel economy, great features, nice design, and Honda/Acura reliability made this a no-brainer to buy. I, like many, am not overly thrilled with the electronic steering, and it took some getting used to. Frankly, now, however, I don't notice that it's any different from any other car I've driven. It's really only noticeable on highways; city driving is just like any other.

The exterior design is very sporty and clean. The chunky 5 spoke rims are hideous. The driver's seat is very comfortable and I love the lumbar adjustment, but I don't get why they don't have it on the passenger seat. The passenger seat is almost unbearable to sit in, compared to the driver's seat. The rear seats have absolutely no leg room and your foot gets caught under the front seat, when getting out of the car. Leather is cheap. The driver's seat is already cracking. The steering wheel has a very cozy feel to it. The car's steering is responsive and the 2.4l provides adequate power. The car is amazing on the highway. I would probably not get another. I'm considering a 2013 nissan Maxima
