  Fun little cruiser - 2008 Acura TSX
  By KS Local - May 23 - 2:02 pm

  I have owned a variety of makes and models. I have pretty much settled on Honda and Acura as the vehicles of choice for me. I sold an RL to get the TSX. I wanted something with better mileage and sportier look and feel. I am very happy with the TSX. It is smooth and stiff in the right places and times. The VTEC really hums when you crank up the RPMs. I am getting pretty good mileage too.

  Amazing Luxury Car For About 30K!!!! - 2008 Acura TSX
  By Acuraz All The Way! - March 3 - 10:05 pm

  After owning this car for about 8 months I have to say this car is amazing. Excellent performance and reliability. The car handles like a dream for its size and its perfect in the snow with standard tires. Took it on 3 long trips which were about 2400 miles and the fuel economy on the highway was 34 mpg with premium fuel and city averages around 27 mpg. Was looking at Lexus is 250 and Infiniti g35 but got the TSX fully loaded with nav package for at least 7-10k less and the Acura dealers offer amazing customer service.

  "Best of Breed" - 2008 Acura TSX
  By Vikram V. - December 27 - 10:53 am

  Coming from a long line of Civics (parents bought me a new 98 Civic LX sedan my freshman year of college, moved on to a 03 Civic LX coupe, then a 03 Civic LX sedan, and finally a 99 Civic EX coupe) you would think buying an Acura would be a no-brainer. My next car was going to be a 06-07 WRX, however I wasnt ready to buy one in 06 and I couldnt land a good deal on an 07. I test drove the 6-speed TSX and was sold, offers luxury and refinement ALONG WITH great looks and sporty handling. People complain about the power, but with the closely geared 6-speed transmission I really dont think Id need any more power unless I was tracking the car. I love this car!

  owner for 3 weeks and loving it!! - 2008 Acura TSX
  By T-Force - December 23 - 10:54 pm

  I had a Jeep Wrangler for 11yrs, & wanted something in this class. I looked at the Audi A4, BMW328, G35, & thought the Acura was the best all- around car. CPO, 14k miles. Ive had for 3 weeks & have been very happy. Its been an early winter so far, & the car has generally been great in the snow (this was my main reason for contemplating the AWD models like A4).

  Glad I leased it! - 2008 Acura TSX
  By TL - November 2 - 11:42 am

  Previous vehicles were all VWs so you can imagine my surprise that I now have a reliable vehicle. I love the way the car handles on the road and the pick up is a plus. The interior is very comfortable as I am 5"10" tall and dont at all feel cramped. Got a great deal at the end of the year and liked the 08 model much more than the "09 model that was about to come out.

  Great entry-level luxury car - 2008 Acura TSX
  By Drew - July 23 - 1:42 pm

  This is a great car, with excellent features for its price. I have been driving it for about a week and I love it. Nice handling and great gas mileage. Sure, some people would want a little more HP, but its works fine for me and I have no problems passing other cars. I have the parchment interior with wood trim, it just looks magnificent. Dealer gave an offer that we couldnt refuse. About the same size as my old 2005 Infiniti G35 so it works out great. Been looking to switch to Acura after buying an Accord last year and now my wife drives the Accord and I have the Acura.

  A nice step up after owning 2 Accords - 2008 Acura TSX
  By Andrew - July 1 - 9:57 pm

  After a 92 and 98 Accord, I decided to upgrade to the Acura TSX. So far after almost 6 months I am not disappointed. This car is fun to drive and sporty, yet still gets awesome mileage (I have gotten mid 30s on pure highway). Commuting mileage is OK and can get mid 20s. For the price you get so many features found in many higher level models. Audio is OK, but not the cars high point. However almost all the features can be found on the new 8th gen Accord (minus HID headlights and bluetooth phone), in a much bigger but more powerful car. Above all, this car is a Honda. Dependable, great resale value, laundry list of standard features.

  Great car - 2008 Acura TSX
  By Terry Flynn - June 20 - 8:54 am

  Very economical for a luxury brand. 25 MPH in city. High in quality. One problem is that it takes premium gas. Excellent pick up. Third Acura I have owned. Other two were Integras. Will always stick with Acura.

  Jason - 2008 Acura TSX
  By Jason - June 2 - 2:14 pm

  I previously owned a Saturn and the upgrade to the Acura TSX has been unbelievable. I have not had a single problem with the car. Not only is it much more comfortable but I am currently getting 31 mpg with highway only driving. This does drop to 22-25 with mixed highway/city driving in dallas but I have very little to complain about with this car for the cost.

  This is a special sports sedan - 2008 Acura TSX
  By Bob in Beaufort SC - May 31 - 1:21 pm

  The steering, transmission, clutch and the running gear are all in tune. This is a very solid sports car feel, in a small sedan, still with ample room for 4 people. Having had Hondas since 1986, this was a major step up for me, and the car is solid, planted and fun to drive. Too bad that it has to use premium gas, buy thats the way Honda gets 205 HP out of the 2.4L four cylinder. This is a drivers car, with a nicely snubbed-up ride that is not harsh.
