  Best 2009 Car Under $30k - 2009 Acura TSX
  By Ryan - April 29 - 11:49 am

  Spent a lot of time researching TSXs over several months. Driving the 2nd gen compared to the 1st gen was night and day. This is arguably the best car on the market under $30k for what the car offers as standard features. Bought mine 12/31/08, am 5,000 miles in, and still have a smile on my face every time that I drive it. GREAT vehicle for Road trips. Overall, a very economical car. For a smoother ride, I recommend not putting on aftermarket low-profile tires/rims.

  Bad Brakes - 2009 Acura TSX
  By Cedric - April 28 - 7:52 pm

  I purchased this car brand new. After about 3 weeks I started to notice the brakes squealing. After seven months and numerous trips to the dealership, the problem has not been corrected. Acura doesnt seem to know how to fix the problem and the dealerships are not willing to try any more repairs. For 30K the brakes should not constantly squeal. What an embarrassment for a vehicle considered luxury. Stay away from this car. For the money buy a Lexus IS. If I go back I would leave this car on the lot. Oh and there is a rattling noise from underneath the car anytime you accelerate. Sounds like something is loose. What a disappointment.

  Good blend performance + value - 2009 Acura TSX
  By 3pedals4me - April 25 - 5:01 pm

  Have 2500 miles on new TSX. Its a very nice well rounded car...very good at everything though maybe not best-in- class at anything, except price/value. Drives very well, taut but not too stiff, nor mushy like Camry. Manual tranny is super though still getting used to that 6th gear. The engine, while not stout, performs superbly...you hardly notice when running at high revs...and MPG compares to my old VW Passat turbo despite being a heavier car (though the MPG reading calculated by the TSX is inflated about 10% vs actual). The interior comfort, esp the seats, are great...and the features (Ipod XM homelink bluetooth) are amazing for the price. Definitely worth a close look!

  2nd Acura - 2009 Acura TSX
  By lots of miles - April 24 - 9:07 pm

  TL was last minute compromise on the last day of 2008. Still have a 2000 TL with over 160K on it so Acura reliability is a big plus. I looked at TL-SHAWD, but could not get over the BEAK. I also wanted a manual, fund to drive car with high reliability, low maintenance costs and good gas mpg. This car fulfills all of that and is a pretty comfortable driver to boot. Mileage is averaging 28-31 mpg, 6 spd is easy to use and car is not so "hot" that I am adding too many speeding tickets to my collection. Stereo is good, I dropped XM subscription after new car trial and use an Ipod instead. Overall, a pretty good deal with a low cost of ownership.

  The car looks great! Smooth ride on the highway. Seats are comfy! Love the chrome finishes on door handles & front grill.

  Acura TSX - 2009 Acura TSX
  By Ryan - April 16 - 6:49 pm

  I purchased my Acura TSX 5 days ago and I love it. At first I would kind of skeptical about buying a 4 cylinder vehicle, never even drove one before, but I cant even tell its a 4 cylinder. If you are looking for an entry level luxury car, go and test drive one today! I bought mine from Smail Acura in Greensburg, PA and they showed me top of the line service.

  Great car - 2009 Acura TSX

  This is a great car... premium feeling for not that much $. While the engine is adequate, the lack of torque at low rpm is obvious.

  13 years with a Mercedes, now my Acura - 2009 Acura TSX
  By Bru - April 7 - 4:42 pm

  I leased a Mercedes C280 sedan new in 96 then bought out my lease. I had considered replacing it since about 03, looked for a new car every so often but couldnt find a worthy replacement, test drove many cars. This TSX was love at first sight. I had no idea Acura had redesigned the TSX until I visited the dealership - old one was a little too small & plain for me. Love It! Awesome! Fun! Intuitive! I feel like Im driving the best looking car (definitely under 50K!) on the road. Honda/Acura reliability, 0-60 faster than the inline-6 Benz I sold, handles great, all the gadgets you want. Didnt get the tech package because a 6 disc changer is so 90s and I want a portable NAV. Cool!

  Great car - 2009 Acura TSX
  By no - April 6 - 8:10 pm

  I was a confirmed small car driver but this car has changed my mind, it is not the big slow mid size but a taste of luxury I was not expecting at the price point. It is smooth and effortless to drive and gets me 31mph which is close to my old mini.

  Nice Car - 2009 Acura TSX
  By bhel - April 3 - 4:26 am

  My wifes car, but I drive it frequently. For the most part, I like it and it is a nice step up from the RSX she had. My one complaint is the drivers seat lumbar support... it hits just too high on the back and it isnt really possible to dial it back enough to really find a comfortable setting for the seat. This would not be my choice of car for a longer journey. Otherwise, it is quiet, plenty powerful, and offers good road feel. Steering is a little light but one gets used to it. Id prefer an easier to read set of dash readouts.... black on gray isnt as good as my Accord which has brighter displays.
