    Great car to drive in open road and canyon roads. Just wish it had more torque power range off the line.

    This car is great. I have had it for 5 months and I have had no problems with it. It is a fun car to drive and it does have some pickup to it. I do not regret my purchase at all!

  • Go drive it !! - 2005 Acura TSX

    If you are considering a sedan in the upscale market, go drive this car. Originally I wasnt prepared to kiss goodbye that kind of money for a FWD 4 cyl car (came from a BMW) but after driving it, the cars responses were so agile, yet forgiving...sharp yet smooth. I find the car has good power at low rpm and GREAT acceleration above about 4,000 rpm. Havent driven it in the winter yet but am getting a set of Michelins w/rims. Overall I am very happy with this car.

    The Acura TSX is supposed to be the entry-level sedan. If it is, this is a fine entry level. Everything, meaning everything, has performed as advertised on this car since purchase 10 months ago. It is quick, it is nimble, it is a blast to drive. If you are overweight, you might not be as comfortable in this smallish interior as some. It has a 4-cylinder engine, but it is tuned to performance levels. Pickup has never been an issue.

  • Not too bad - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    This is my third Acura, and the TSX isnt bad. TSX was best for the buck. I havent taken it on a road trip, and I cant wait. Car handles well, and I love the interior. The exterior looks better and better every day. I love the gas mileage Im getting, and I get looks b/c of the pin-striping. The ride isnt too bad. Firm, but not rough. Plenty of room in the trunk. The car emits more outside (wind) noise than I thought. There is a blind spot when Im in reverse, and its a bother. Know more about the car when the snow flies.

    This is as smooth of a car as you will find. not too big, not small, just right. The 4cyl is buttery smooth, and the tranny is unreal! The car begs to be driven. The car looks like nothing on the road. Averaging 29- 31 mpg on the highway and total avg of 25 mpg. That is stout!

  • Very Very Nice - 2005 Acura TSX

    Pro 1) The MT is just a dream to drive. 2) Seats that fit just right. 3) Honda/Acuras safety and quality reliability. Cons 1) The engine needs more torque, but if I wanted that, I should of got a TL. 2) When the car was purchased, the rear seat fold down did not work for right side, when using the key. Though the pull string works from the trunk.

    I bought this car for my wife and quickly realized I wanted to steal it from her. It is a great car to drive and has enough room for a family. The car is very affordable and out performs any other car in this price range.

  • Best Overall Sedan - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    Very comfortable in the front. Theres not an abundance of space, but its very well used. My passengers are comfortable in the back all day. It also accelerates quietly and smoothly with plenty of power. You hardly notice the shift points. Good gas mileage, I average 29 MPG in Dallas driving conservatively & 24.5 MPG driving aggressively. Theres not any squeaks or rattles. The turning radius, as mentioned in other reviews, is pretty sorry for a vehicle of this size. However, the car handles exceptionally well: very nimble and sure footed. Very well appointed vehicle even in base form. Good luck finding a finer vehicle for under 26k! Practical & Fun, whats not to love?

    Excellent performance, and fuel mileage, smooth engine, very luxurious and fully loaded for its price. It is a great value, but it does have some minor defects and rattles which is a bit surprising. Overall great car.
