  • Nice Car - 2009 Acura TSX
    By -

    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.

  • LOVE 09 TSX - 2009 Acura TSX

    I had been looking for a car for several months. When the new body style was released I fell in love. I use my vehicle to drive to and from work and school. She (my TSX) has taken good care of me. I look forward to getting in my vehicle every morning, traffic or not she is amazingly comfortable.

  • Acura owner for life... stop debating, buy - 2009 Acura TSX
    By -

    I owned a Mitsu Eclipse GT for 7 years and put 148K miles (ZERO problems with that car). After contemplating whether to finally buy "my tsx" or continue driving the eclipse, there was no question once I got in. The seats hug you, the interior is nicely laid out and stylish. Good visibility inside the car, love the headlights too. The car grabs the road around turns and cruises down the highway. Even when I hammer on the car, I get no less than 28mpg. When I pay attention to real time mileage, I can get 32mpg. There is a certain power band and it doesnt start until 3500rpms. DO NOT race anyone from a light... the car stumbles at the drop of the clutch until about 2K rpm.

  • Great Car - 2009 Acura TSX
    By -

    Leased a 09 TSX (w/out tech package) - great car and compares very well against my 06 TL that I turned in. Well built and very high in the electronics features - much better than my 08 Cayenne. I do not miss the DVD audio system in my TL as I had 1 dvd audio disc - however w/out that feature the stereo is great as is the Ipod interface. Performance is good - not as good as the TL but it gets the job done and the black on black color combination works great. It looks great and drives very smooth. I looked at A4, VW CC, etc but none came close to the deal on the TSX + the dealership blew every other dealership away.

  • A lovely drive - 2009 Acura TSX
    By -

    Bought this as a replacement for a Toyota Corolla and found that the TSX makes driving a pleasure. Very comfortable inside, stylish exterior and more than adequate horsepower. Feels safe and handles well, especially when cornering (unlike the Corolla). Rear view camera makes reversing safer and easier, and all round visibility is good.

  • Excellent Car - 2009 Acura TSX
    By -

    I bought this Acura TSX two weeks ago, and I absolutely love it. This is a fun car. Love the hi-tech features such as the USB port (connect a USB thumb drive or an iPod and listen to music). I like the fact that it charges my iPod and I can control the play list and songs from the dash console. This car has an excellent 360 watt sound system. I also love the gas mileage. This car gives me 26 MPG combined in city and highway and gives me 34 MPG on highway. You wont find many cars in its class with 201 HP, which will give you this kind of mileage. The overall build of this car is great, with superior quality. Dont waste $3000 for a nav, just pay $200 and get a nice nav. Proud & happy.

  • 2009 TSX - 2009 Acura TSX

    Just purchased it. Best value in the entry luxury category. Still babying the car, but absolutely love the ride. Picked it over the IS 250 because of the price and space. If you think this is just a high-end Accord, you really need to test drive it. It outperforms and outclasses Accord V6 by a long stretch. Not to mention a look easier on the eyes.

  • More Pros than Cons - 2009 Acura TSX
    By -

    I decided on the TSX after test driving and pricing all the cars in its class. The TSX was the best bang for the buck bar none. My only complaint is the front grill of the car. Which can be easily fixed with some aftermarket tuning (this is why Hondas are GREAT!). The steering is fine, the power is fine, and the interior was probably the best. A lot of people are dinging this car, but what do they expect? They want Acura to give them the power of a g35/is350 at a fraction of the cost? Get real. For what i paid for this car id be lucky to get a base is250/328i, and what fun would that be?

  • The Best Yet! - 2009 Acura TSX
    By -

    I forgot how a top of the line affordable car is! The car is flawless, sips gas and rides (firm) but solid and handles like the sport sedan that it is. I live in the worst state of the union (Louisiana) for bumpy roads. This car eats up the bumps and returns 26 city and 34 hwy. I am a big guy six foot two and 260 pounds. I have space to spare! Seat is very comfortable for short and long trips. My bluetooth works well and the voice system was easy to learn.

  • Almost Perfect - 2009 Acura TSX
    By -

    Most things are fantastic! The ride is good but brake stopping distance is a bit much for a mid-sized 4 cyl. Fuel mileage is excellent, I am getting 26/34 overall. Stereo system is good but I prefer to listen to my music and not be bathed in it! The CD changer functions well but takes up too much interior space. The cup-holders in the door sills are crappy: make sure you keep your bottle top! The storage box next to gear shift deserves a coin holder, Hondas have them. The other "holders" could not hold more than a couple of tokens. The car needs rear heat & AC. I was going to get a TL at first, but glad I did not because I could keep $10K extra. Overall an excellent value for the money.
