    This is my second Acura. The first was a 2.3CL which had 180,00 when I sold it. This car is even better. Not only does it have the same look as the much more expensive vehicles but it is economical. I get almost 34 mpg on the highway. A great, fun car.

  • Jury Still Out - 2009 Acura TSX
    By -

    Ive been driving my TSX for a month now and I like it a lot except for the ride quality. The suspension is way too stiff and the ride is jittery on any surface (as noted in Consumer Report). Im told that it will soften with time. I hope so. The 5.1 sound system is outstanding. I dont have a problem with the nav screen because Im short but I can see that if I was several inches higher in the seat, I would see the reflection of the windows in the nav screen. Not good. Excellent build quality overall and no problem whatsoever so far. Ill report again later in the year.

  • Acura TSX - Muy Bueno.... - 2009 Acura TSX
    By -

    This car offers a great balance between luxury, technology, and practicality. Inside and out it shows Acuras attention to luxury details. It comes with more technology than many other more expensive brands. And this machine gives you a higher then average fuel economy for cars of this size, weight and costs.

  • TSX Delivers - 2009 Acura TSX
    By -

    I have only had our TSX for a short time, but can honestly say that this car represents one of the best bargains available. From the styling to responsiveness, the TSX delivers. Honestly, I hadnt even looked at the TSX until two weeks before we bought the car. The first look left me very impressed. Ive had several people comment on how nice the car looks both inside and out (There are not a whole lot of new cars sold these days, so the lack of a license plate draws attention as does the car). On top of appearance, Acuras top-quality brand reputation made this purchase a no-brainer. Lexus IS was too small. VW CC was nice, but the Acura was better in our opinion.

  • A real smile creator - 2009 Acura TSX

    I am thrilled with this purchase. I have never had an instant of buyers remorse. I smile every time I see this car. For a four cylinder that delivers such great mileage, this car is incredibly responsive and a blast to drive.

  • Great Car!! - 2009 Acura TSX
    By -

    I havent had my tsx a week yet, but coming from a Honda accord I feel right at home in fact a much better home. I am still learning the tech package, but I am having fun learning it. I dont need the speed of a V6, so this car is very peppy to me. I am glad I made this choice.

  • No complaints - 2009 Acura TSX
    By -

    Just leased the 2009 acura tsx without navigation. $400 month nothing down--I could not get a mazda 6 for that price!! Forget the audi 4, volkswagen cc and every other entry level luxury car- you are at $420-$470 oh and none of them have a trunk. My clubs, folding chairs and kids baseball equipment all fit nicely in the tsx. Car is beautiful paladium silver with gray interior-hard to find by the way--dealer was great - something about salesmen in suits as opposed to polo shirts at most other places. Car is solid and tight, very quiet, front seat hugs you nicely like a sports car should - 4 cylinder is not as peppy as my old passat but it is passable. Stereo is above average but not great.

  • Left wondering about Acura - 2009 Acura TSX
    By -

    Had my new 2009 TSX for two just weeks when I heard a crackling noise coming from the rear shelf area. The dealer said it was known issue Acura had issued a service bulletin to address this problem. The dealer kept the car to carry out the fix. Picked up the car but the noise returned shortly before I arrived home. Very disappointed in Acura for producing a defective product then selling it with a known problem. The Navi system has also been acting up. Generally the car has a spirited feel to it with a responsive engine. However the on-center feel at highway speeds is very poor-one needs to constantly correct steering. The seats are too firm and leave you sore after a road trip.

  • The Sweet Spot of Price to Performance - 2009 Acura TSX
    By -

    I "fell up" to a TSX when considering a loaded Jetta TDI. For about $3k more, I got a car with much more polish that is as fun to drive. I like both the exterior and interior styling, although some people hate it. Ive always driven manuals, but the auto TSX is plenty of fun, and I enjoyed it more than the 6-speed. The car is nimble, extremely comfortable, and is a bargain. Some complain that its not as muscular as a BMW 3 series or an Infiniti G37. This is true. Its also many thousands of dollars less expensive. For me, this was the sweet spot of price/performance. I have only owned the TSX for a month, so my "reliability" score is at this point more of a hope than a rating.

  • Review Update - Better than expected! - 2009 Acura TSX
    By -

    After 6 mos of ownership, I have to say that Im very impressed with my 09 TSX. It handles very well, has lots of pep for a 4 cylinder, and is fast! The interior build quality is very good, outstanding sound system, and awesome gas mileage sticker says 30mpg highway, but I got 34 highway on a recent road trip. This is a very nice compact sports sedan - great value for the money. No regrets on this purchase!
