  • 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.

  • Decent Car, but overall, disappointed - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    After putting nearly 8000 miles on my TSX, I am less than pleased with the amount of problems I have had. The moonroof was rattling, after a second visit to the dealership, they put a tape around the sunroof, which helped, but it is rattling again. CD changer was replaced because it was skipping. Paint seems to chip easily. Fuel economy is decent, however, since it requires premium gas, it does add up. Power is just ok at initial get-go, you can really tell its a 4 cylinder. However, the engine is smooth and does handle well on the freeway. If I had to go back and remake my decision, I would have gone with the Accord EXV6 coupe (more power and reliability).

  • Awesome Car - 2005 Acura TSX

    Bought the car in December and have about 2200 miles on it. This car is the sports car my Eclipse never was. Great handling, smooth ride and great acceleration. Youd think you had a V6 under the hood. The quality is typical Honda/Acura--everything works perfectly. I really like the design of the interior--beautifully thought out, clean, functional, comfortable. I also bought the spoiler and aero kit for a more agressive look. The car looks fantastic in black.

    I love my 2005 Acura TSX. I looked at many cars before I test drove the TSX. Once I drove the car, I decided that this is the car for me. I have owned two Honda Civics and was looking to move up to a premium brand. Nothing else in the price range can match the TSXs features. HID headlights, heated leather seats, power moonroof, 6 disc in dash CD changer, XM satellite radio, dual zone climate control, and VSA all standard. Why would anyone buy anything else?

  • Low price Luxury - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    I love the 6 speed, but realize this is a 4 cylinder car and that limits so much. It is very tight, stubby vehicle with a great look inside and out. Has all the options standard except for navigation. 25 miles per gallon so far at the max.

  • Everything I Expected & Then Some - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    The TSX is an excellent, well-rounded, highly reliable, fun-to-drive sedan. Im seriously thinking about buying a second one for the wife. I thought about Audi (for AWD) & BMW (pure performance), but its hard to justify the $10-15K premium, given how good this car is. Very satisfied thus far.

  • First New Car - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    This is my first brand new car and I have no regrets. The 6 speed manual is very responsive to my every move, easy to shift and loads of fun to drive. Even with passangers or cargo, it has enough power not to be weighed down.

  • Luxury car at reasonable price - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    The TSX is a great value for the critical buyer. The sharp styling and extremely nice lines make this car stand out in any crowd. The features that are all standard put other luxury cars to shame. Heated seats, heated mirrors, dual temp controls, xm sat radio, six disc in dash... the list seems endless. The performance is an added surprise for those of us that like a little kick out of driving. Handles like many past sports cars Ive owned. 100% satisfied.

  • Great satisfaction - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    After much research, purchased the Acura TSX. Have many compliments about design and overall appearance. It is a joy to drive. Interior and exterior is outstanding. Could be a bit better on gas mileage.

  • Sophisticated and fun all in one - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    My husband and I wanted a sophisticated, reliable, and yet fun to drive car, and that is why we chose the TSX. We spent months researching and comparing different vehicles, such as Audi A4, BMW 3 series, and other Honda products. This car came up the winner for so may different reasons. First of all, the safety features are supurb. The comfort is incredible and the list of standard features are seemingly endless. This car feels like luxury inside and out. The price just can not be beat when compared to others in its class. This car looks sporty and refined all in one. Honda did a great job with this vehicle.

  • Nice Ride - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    Its built solid, and has a nice ride with a safe feeling. Very responsive to the road conditions, but the steering is a bit stiff. The seating could have a little more cushion for a luxury sedan, but overall a comfortable and functional interior.
