This Year's Model Updates:

Acura adds XM Satellite Radio, heated door mirrors and a four-way power passenger seat to the standard features list. The steering wheel-mounted audio and cruise controls are now illuminated.

Pros:
  • An engine that loves to rev and sounds good doing it, sharp handling, slick six-speed manual transmission, upscale interior look and feel, long list of standard equipment, top-of-the-line navigation system for those who want it.
Cons:
  • Forgettable styling, not much power until the engine gets revved up.

    Great balance of comfort, performance and economy. Looks great, sounds great, great value!

    While this car may not have the V6 that many desire, I find that the i-vtec 4 provides a perfect balance between performance and economy. I have been very pleased with my ownership experience and will highlight a couple of the top reasons why (not an exhaustive list). 1. Service - I have dealt with multiple dealerships to add accessories and get oil changes. They were all eager to serve and make their cutomers comfortable. Very good post-purchase relations. 2. Price - Multiple thousands of dollars cheaper than a comparably equipped BMW 3 or MB c230. 3. Interior Room - The ONLY car in the entry/ luxury category that can comfortably fit a 65" driver. 4. Features!

  • Awesome Car,way better than 3Series etc - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    The TSX happens to be the ultimate combination of pleasure, fun, sporty, reliable and low cost driving machine. This car drives great, feels great, runs great and does everything splendid it is designed to do. Dont have any complaints about my TSX and definitely recommend this one!!!

    The TSX is the best value for the money and is better looking than most cars in the same class, including the BMW 3. The interior is much more up to date than the 3, and the dash is much sharper. Fuel economy is great, particullary with high gas prices today. It is equally as fun to drive as the 3 series and without the BMW sticker price. You get much more for your money with this overall package and reliabilty will be much better than a German made car.

  • Love it!!! - 2005 Acura TSX

    I was waffling between a top of the line Camry and this car. Although I paid $2K more for this car - it was worth it. I love my TSX! The best feature is that they only come two ways...with or without navigation - everything else is standard. There was no negotiating all of the options, just the car as a whole. Made the purchase go much smoother also...no pushy salesman trying to sell you extra options to boost the profit margin. Bottom line is that a car is worth exactly what youre willing to pay for it. I didnt pay MSRP, but I can see how others would...the car sells itself. This is an easy way to step into luxury cars without being married to your payment.

    Owned 325i and never thought Japan could win me back. BMW clearly has edge in handling and 6 is silk but TSX is infinitesimally behind. Throw in standard equipment and reliability and it is offer I could not refuse. Need to learn how to drive the 2.4. Remarkably tractable around town but when you really get into it the engine responds in a way only Acura iVTEC can. From high 3000s to redline just keeps pulling. Comfort and ambiance at top of class. Considered TL but its value measures against 5 series or E class. If you are in market for entry level sports sedan DRIVE THE TSX NOW

  • A lot of car, harsh ride - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    Nice alternate to other cars in its class for the price. I expected better milaege frm a 4 cylinder ... I have been ranging 22 city 28 highway. The ride in this car is harsh on the highway. With highly recommend the care for city driving and short trips, its not a comfortable care to take a 2-3 trip in. All the options and ammedities ar worthy of the Acura nameplate. The trunk is huge, and despite what some reviews have stated, the styling is clean.

  • TSX Special - 2005 Acura TSX

    Have had the car for over 5 months. A fun enjoyable car to drive. A lot of car for the $. Very customer oriented dealership. Very impressed with mileage on a trip at 80mph great mileage.

  • Great Interior for the Money - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    I chose this vehicle over many others because of the excellent navigation system and great interior. I spend a lot of time driving, so a comfortable interior and good gas mileage were the most important attributes I was looking for in a vehicle. Now that I have a navigation system, I dont think Ill ever buy a car without it. The resale value and little necessary maintenance were other selling points. My only dislikes are the front wheel drive (I would have definitely preferred AWD or RWD). The exterior styling is sporty on my car, because I have the Milano Red paint with the optional spoiler. Overall a very comfortable, sporty, and economical long distance cruiser.
