2006 Acura TSX

Summary:
Excellent value for an entry luxury car. A great mix of good gas mileage, luxury and handling. I don't share the complaints about low torque. Jack Rabbit starts at low RPM are not my concern. This car giddiups nonetheless. At speed, the horsepower kicks in and adds to the fun factor. I'll trade the lower torque for the better gas mileage that the TSX achieves. Everything about the drive spells "tight" with the obvious attention to quality construction and design.

Strengths:
Fun to drive with nice cornering and comfort. Cruises effortlessly and quietly at 80 mph like a full size luxury. Tracks great at speed with minimal steering corrections. Driver ergonomics are excellent. Driving position and alignment of steering wheel, pedals and elbow-rests feels perfectly natural. Heated seats in a car less than 30k!

Weaknesses:
An oil service guy asked if it was a Civic. I like the looks but it needs another element to say "Acura."

Price Paid:  $30.00 from alhambra, ca

2008 Acura TSX / with nav

Summary:
I am speechless. possibly the best car ever. if youre looking for a luxury car but dont want to spend lots of money. this car is perfect. having everything as standard (except nav, comes optional) then nothing compares to it. love the exterior and definitely the interior. the ride is smooth and engine is quiet. when i got it i got lots of head turns according to my sister who was with me. all of my friends love my car. definitely worth getting it.

Strengths:
quality and the price =D

Weaknesses:
people say it doesnt have enough horsepower but hey i really dont need that much. its not like im gonna use it as a racecar. so no weakness for me

2004 TSX auto w/ nav

Summary:
This is the first luxury car I ever purchased and must say I am so pleased. I've had the car for almost 4 years, with 95,500 miles on it - with no major problems at all.

I am already looking to buy a new car next year, when this car will have about 130,000 miles and keep coming back to this car. I am researching TSX's competition and am ruling out the BMW 328 and Mercedes 350 due to quality criticisms. The TSX is not getting blasted in overall quality.

Strengths:
Loads of features for the price. Numerous choices in color combinations
Great gas mileage on highway (30-31mph+ in NJ)

Weaknesses:
- High rev at low speeds, but I'm not a gunner type driver, so doesn't bother me.
- Too much outside noise when windows closed. Makes me want to look at Lexus (super quiet) but can't get past their price tag for the same features.

Summary:
Great car for the price. Overall, have been happy with the performance...could definitely use some more low end torque. Reliablity and gas mileage as good or better than expected with a Honda product. Would have bought the TL if I had to do it over due to size and power.

Strengths:
Styling, Gas Mileage, Price

Weaknesses:
Uncomfortable front seats on a long drive, power, size

Summary:
Overall, it's a well thought out car. Handles well, brakes well, not too harsh a ride for a sport sedan. Lot's of std options that you have to pay extra for in similiar cars. Great for the price. Very happy with it.

Strengths:
Lots of well placed options in the interior. Good on gas.

Weaknesses:
could use a little more low end torque
