Solid sedan

2012 Acura TSX 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A)

Well rounded sports sedan that is reliable in all situations. Steering is sharp and crisp, and the car handles the road like it has all wheel drive even though it is only front wheel drive. Very light on its feet, while at the same providing a quiet and comfortable ride. Torque comes in as soon as you press the gas and VTEC power keeps climbing on the 4-cyclinder like it will never stop -- you would be surprised it's not a V6. Appreciate the large bright HID headlights and standard fog lights that light the road far ahead. Have seen over 35mpg on long trips. I prefer that it has a traditional 5 speed automatic to alternative cars that use CVT. Large, cavernous trunk. Would say this is a steal for those shopping on the used car market.

Great car for the money

I ended my 2009 C300 lease and looked at the TSX when i found a zero down 313 a month lease 10k miles/yr and 36 months. The car is very nice for the price and i generally really enjoy it although there are some minor drawbacks. Coming from a 6 to a 4 is a downgrade. It sounds like any other japanese 4 which means its whiney. Although the gas miliage is excellent and exceeds expectations and has plenty of power for me. 25 in town and 33-37 on the hwy. The driver seat is just ok and it hits me a little high. i cannot seem to lower it enough to make it comfortable. The passanger is perfect however. The radio is average and the dash has some cheap looking plastic in places.

Simply Amazing!

I recently bought a lightly used 2012 TSX w/ Tech Package and I couldn't be happier with it. Everything people mentioned about it in earlier reviews is absolutely spot on. The more I drive it, the more I appreciate the efficiency of it. The handling is like that of a sports car with very nimble steering response and smooth acceleration off rest point. I would mention that getting the Tech package is well worth the money since it would really bring up the oomph factor of the handsomely designed cabin.

Fantastic car! My car now has over 200,000 miles and have never had a single issue. I’ve owned a 2009 MDX prior to this (which my parent purchased from me and own still), and theirs too has never had an issue. The reliability of these cars cannot be understated! To this day, the car still feels solid without a hint of an approaching problem. Obviously you can’t purchase this car new anymore, but if you want a used luxury car, and not pay an arm and a leg for maintenance, this is it. Overall, great car, and it’s because of my experience with this car, is why I’ll probably never buy another brand.
