  • Unassuming excellence - 2004 Acura TSX
    By -

    After a few agonizing months and countless test drives on various used and new BMW 3 series, Audi A4, Jaguar X Type, Lexus IS 300, Volvo, took the plunge and got myself a TSX. In the final weeks I agonized between the TSX and the A4 and finally settled for the TSX. It is by far the best overall value as well as top on reliability. A4 has a more recognizable exterior styling and perhaps the quatro is an advantage, even though not so much if you consider the decent VSA in the TSX. At anything else the TSX is just the better choice. Not to mention the price for similar equipment. Just go to an Acura dealer and see how many used A4s youll find vs. how many Acuras at an Audi dealer.

  • Best Choice I Could Have Made - 2004 Acura TSX
    By -

    I was searching for a new vehicle, but had several on my list. For instance the 2004 Nissan Maxima and the Infinit G35. I was very impressed with the Maxima, however, the sale person was not aggressive enough to try and work something out with me seeing how I was planning to make a down payment of half of the cost of the car. However, I went to the Acura dealer and was there 6 hours before I was able to drive off with my new 2004 TSX. The sales person and finance manager made sure that I got what I wanted at the price I wanted. I love the stylishness of the TSX even though it was a lot smaller than the Maxima. I get a lot of compliments and stares while driving this car.

  • 6 Speeds of Bliss - 2004 Acura TSX
    By -

    Traded in an auto 4 cly Honda Accord for something more fun to drive. This car is unbelivable, while driving through the 6 speeds I have a constant smile on my face. If you are looking for a reliable car that gets pretty good fuel economy and is fun to drive, look no more. Also looked at VW Jetta GLI 1.8T, Subaru WRX, and Honda Accord V6 6 speed, this was my favorite. I was able to have everything in one great looking car.....4 doors, decent fuel economy, 6 speed, great interior and exterior....and fun to drive. If you are looking to buy a TSX, do yourself a favor and test drive the 6 speed, you wont be dissapointed.

  • TSX ABOVE AND BEYOND THE COMP FOR LESS $ - 2004 Acura TSX
    By -

    I bought my TSX back in August and by far it is the most fun I have had driving a car. I have owned BMWs and test drove the rest, and the TSX performance/standard options/and fuel economy blow the comp away. Waiting to see if there are any upgrades (chip wise) for the engine, however it is still got the awesome pep for a 4 cyl. The TSX turns heads without a doubt, most compliments I have ever received about a car, and people do not believe me when I tell them how much it costs.

  • Amazing car, great value - 2004 Acura TSX
    By -

    I just love this car - 1000+ miles on it already and no real problems. The styling is crisp and clean, and fit/finish is for the most part outstanding (there is a dashboard rattle/creak which the dealer needs to look at). Seats are well padded, the sound system is beautiful. Steering is nice and taut. Low-end torque isnt that strong, but past 4k rpm starts to make itself felt. There is a bit more road noise than Id like. Love the 50- series low profile tires, but wish they had better stock tires than the Michelins. But the bottom line is that for the same options, a BMW 325i or an Audi A4 1.8T would cost ~$3k more. THATs what sold me.

  • I love this car - exceeds expectations!! - 2004 Acura TSX
    By -

    I love my TSX. It handles like a dream and is very fast. It looks cool inside and out. I love all the gadgets (sunroof, heated seats, unreal stereo). So much fun to drive. Highly recommend. Cheap considering what you get.

    So far weve been very pleased with this car. It drives and handles very well and is as solid as any new car that Ive owned. Gorgeous exterior designing. I would recommend to anyone looking for nice sporty 4-dr with a good performance attitude.

  • Update to the Bimmer Beater - 2004 Acura TSX
    By -

    I figured as my car is coming up to a year old I should update my review. It is still a great car to get into every day. Fit and finish are still Honda high. Still as smooth as the day I bought it. The annoying creak in the windshield is gone. Recomend one new or used.

  • Best value and features for the price - 2004 Acura TSX
    By -

    This is my first new car, so I was looking for a lot of car with a reasonable price. No other vehicle I looked at came close to the TSX. The best part about it was that this car has no optional packages, you just choose to have or not to have a Navigation system and the transmission. The TSX has plenty of "get up and go" under the hood with 200 hp. Even with this power, you still get the mileage expected from a Honda product with nearly 30 mpg/highway.
