Most popular Acura TSX for sale

I bought my TSX new in 2005 and now have 53,000 miles on it. When I purchased it, I test drove a BMW 328, Auto A4, Lexus IS, and Mazda 6. While not quite as sporty as the German autos, it was a lot cheaper, offered just as many if not more luxuries, and still offered good performance at a much lower price tag. (Not to mention much better gas mileage: 24/31) In terms of quality of ride, the TSX blew the Mazda away and was comparable to the BMW, Audi, and Lexus.

After owning the car for 3 years, I still enjoy driving it as on the day I got it. The Acura Navigation system is still better than all of my friends' newer systems in other cars. In terms of performance, this car doesn't blow people away off the line, but it's surprisingly fun to drive for a 4 cyl/200hp vehicle. The two best things performance wise are the tight yet smooth suspension, and the performance the car gives you at speed. It'll go from 60 to 80 as quickly as any other car on the road.

The best thing about this car is how resilient and reliable it is. I tend to drive my cars pretty hard. I regularly throw my sports-shift transmission into 3rd gear at 70mph on the interstate to zip by people, and I also tend to accelerate pretty fast at stop lights, etc. I have not had even a hint of a problem with it for the first 53,000 miles.

Bottom line is that the Acura TSX is a great combination of sportiness, quality, luxury, safety, passenger/truck space, and gas mileage, all for a very reasonable price. In fact I'm confident in saying that no car would beat it in all of those categories without costing at least $5K more new.

Last things to consider:
- Spend a few extra bucks for the Nav system. Even if you just drive it around your home town it'll change your life.
- If you're an "automatic transmission" person, try the sports-shift transmission. Even if you like a traditional manual tranny (as I do) this is still fun to drive.
- the 2006+ TSX models have bluetooth integration and real-time traffic on the nav system. I wish I had those. Consider that before buying a 2005.

I hope this helps. Patrick.

Acura did it again! This car is great looking, quick, and Honda reliable. It handles like a dream. With all the standards like leather and a sunroof, it looks and feels like a much more expensive car. Great gas mileage, too.
I have been driving mine for two years without a single complaint. Just the basic upkeep and maintenance is all it needs.

I have always loved and owned the Honda line of cars. My last vehicle was an 1991 Acura Legend. When I was shopping online for a new vehicle, the Acura TSX stood out at me. I had to go to a dealership to get a closer look because they looked small inside. I was suprised to find out just how much room they had! I immediately fell in love with the TSX but I did not let salesperson know that as we stayed and haggled over price. I was a little apprehensive about the navigational system and the XM radio but now I hate to drive any of the other vehicles in the family because they are without those luxuries. The voice recognition system gives you a choice whether you speak to a male or a female. I do a lot of mountain driving and there is absolutely no loss of power going up hills. The only downside to this car is that it takes 91 octane which is the most expensive gasoline, however I can get around 26 MPG around town.
