Still love my 2010 Acura TSX V6
Bought this vehicle new from an Acura dealership 12 years ago. We've driven it 200,000 kilometers and we still love starting it up. It is a very sturdy, very responsive and very powerful vehicle. We service it regularly according to the built-in maintenance minder system and we've been amazed at how little the expenses for upkeep have been. The car has never let us down. By far the best car we've ever owned. Before this we had a VW Passat which was, I admit, also a lot of fun to drive, but my goodness it was a complete horror show when it came to breakdowns and dealer servicing.

Why did I do it?
Have had my TSX for 2 months. Already in the shop twice for noise emanating from right rear. Dealer could not find the first time. Had better luck second time, but not totally cleared up.In general, the car rides choppy and let's considerable road into the cabin. If I had it to do again, I would have opted for the G-37 or just a sporty version of a family sedan(Fusion, Mazda 6). If you want a 6 cylinder--don't settle for the 4 on this car. It's economical-but it's still a four. Also, the sheet metal is pretty thin.

Not pleased
I purchased this vehicle primarily based on Acura's much vaunted and advertised reliability. Since purchasing the car 6 months ago it has been back for service more often than my previous vehicle, a Saab 9-3, was in four years of use! All kinds of issues needed fixing: the rear suspension clunking noise and defect ; a faulty Navi screen replaced; non functioning trunk release; poor highway steering. If this is the best Acura can do they have lost their way!
Shift Up
First time driving a 6-speed manual. The torque and gear match seems to be pushing the driver to shifting up quickly. That is, the car seems to be over powered and over torqued for each of the gear ratio. While this is a manual shift car, it seems to be a manual shift car in an artificial construct.
Total Satisfaction
I had narrowed my choice down to the BMW 328i or the TSX and after driving both cars the choice was fairly easy, with my wife in agreement. First, let me say that unless you are into racing or hot rodding, you don't need the 6 cyl. and you will get the bonus of much better gas mileage. So far I have averaged 27.6 mpg. The car is loaded with features, so you don't really need to buy any options and the price is great for the luxury level. My only complaint is the trunk is access with any bag larger than a "carry-on", but is deep once you get past the opening.
