  • 2005, but still very relevant! - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    Needed to upgrade my 1999 Accord EX-V6. Despite numerous issues with it, I still like Hondas reliability overall and have always liked Acuras. Got an incredible deal on a used TSX from an owner who babied it since he bought it in 2004 only 55k miles. It still looks and runs like its brand new. Love how it handles, love the interior. Has some pep, but I find it relatively quiet. Very sleek and stylish I think looks better than a lot of cars that are new. As other reviewers have mentioned, Ive had a lot of compliments. For a 10 year old car, its pretty impressive. Downside is the premium gas. Thankfully, not filling up often so cost offsets. 24/32 MPG.

  • Good Value - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    I bought this car with 68K miles on it for a very good price. I love it so far. I had a Jetta before and the TSX is much more powerful and rides very smooth. I have owned it for 6 months and the only issue so far is with the door locks failing to work with the remote. I see that has been a problem in other reviews as well. I hope its not expensive to fix. I plan on keeping this car for another few years.

  • quality, value, fun - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    I have put 84,000 mi. on it and it is tight and rattle free. Still love the 6 spd manual. Everything functions as it should. I rent more expensive cars and miss the quality of the TSX. Premium gas is only real downside.

  • Youthful yet Practical - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    I couldnt see myself in a 4 door family car since I am only 22 but this car is awesome. The 6 speed is the smoothest tranny Ive ever driven and the high class style leaves nothing more to be desired. Outstanding ride, navi is a must, great handling, and of course great looks. Tint the windows and no one will ever call it a family car.

  • Outstanding Sports Sedan! - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    Absolutely one of the best values out there in the true sports (bordering on luxury) sedans. You can pay almost $10K more if you really need the BMW name. If youre okay without it, however, this car wont let you down. Once inside and driving it, youll be sold. I cant help but smile every time I get in my new TSX. Im 100% pleased - no buyers remorse at all.

  • Best Buy for the Buck - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    My 97 CL has 200,000 miles without incident so it was natural for me to buy another Acura. I wasnot dissapointed. With the 6M it accelerates quickly, handles well and is a joy to drive. Only complaint is the the black leather gets extremely hot in summer. OUCH.

  • After 4 yrs & 72k miles, still perfect! - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    My wife and I bought this car used in 2007 with 32k miles. This is the best car we have ever purchased. Interior is very comfortable. Exterior is very stylish. We have the 6-speed manual and this car gets 26city/34hwy mpg consistently. I commute 45 miles to and from work everyday. This car is very quiet and handles great on the road, rain or shine. I just replaced the original tires at 65k miles. The H.I.D. headlights make it very easy to see at night (they light up the entire road!). The one issue that I had with the car was having to replace the passenger door lock actuator at 44K miles. Other than that, flawless.

  • In love with my TSX - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    After 1700 miles of driving this vehicle I can say that I am completely satisfied with great looks, over all outstanding handling, performance and total comfort of this car. The 5 speed AT is a smooth as glass. Fit and finish are excellent and the 17 inch wheels are best.

  • WOW... - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    This is my 2nd Acura (Integra GSR coupe previous), and my 3rd Honda product. I was jealous of anyone that had a TSX because I just knew what a great car it was by previous experience and awesome press raves. I didnt think I could afford one, but I was wrong. Being the enthusiast I am, I of course have the 6 speed model which is absolutely terriffic! Honda is known for their manual trannys, but this is 10 steps ahead...seriously. The exterior is understated, but classy and will look great in 10 years. I am very picky about my cars, and dont want something everyone else has. The TSX is a great jewel of a car that should be a definite consideration for people wanting it all.
