This Year's Model Updates:

The Acura TSX receives minor engine, feature and styling changes for 2006. The car's 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine has been modified to produce a bit more power; it now makes 205 horsepower and 164 lb-ft of torque. Inside, there is an upgraded optional navigation system that's faster, has more points of interest and includes access to a Zagat restaurant guide. A hands-free cell phone interface and a digital audio media auxiliary jack are also new. Exterior enhancements for the 2006 Acura TSX include redesigned front and rear fascias, new side sills, foglamps and new alloy wheels.

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 standard equipment list, top-of-the-line navigation system.
Cons:
  • Not much power until the engine gets revved up.

  • The best overall near luxury car you buy - 2006 Acura TSX
    By -

    I really wanted a 01-03 BMW 530i, but could not see me paying 30k-35k for a used car! I checked out the vw passat, gti, jetta, audi A3, bmw 3series, ford mustang gt, lexus is250, infiniti g35, nissan maxima, saab 9-3, and the volvo s40. nothing and I mean nothing in this price range will give you the value and features of the TSX!!! Bluetooth, navi w/ voice recognition, memory seats, xm radio (youll never listen to regular radio again), mood lighting, dual exhaust, hid headlights, power heated leather seats, heated mirrors, dual zone climate control, and above all else, Honda/Acura reliabilty. Try all the others, but if you want reliability, value, and standard premium features. Buy TSX!

  • Great Car - 2006 Acura TSX
    By -

    I really enjoy driving my TSX, it is fun to drive has enough power, great gas milege, comes with all options included if you get the navigation system which is also helpful since it is hard to find your way around town sometimes if you are new to an area. The interior design is very classy and the exterior is sleek. I love this car I have had it for 3 months now and I dont think I could have got a better car for the money! It drives smooth, handles curves and wet conditions awesomely. I would seriously consider buying this car if you are in the market for this type of vehicle.

  • 2nd TSX - 2006 Acura TSX
    By -

    I had a 04 5AT + Navi TSX. I was xtremely disatisfied with the 5AT performance. The car just felt sluggish...when I wanted to pass a speeding car on the highway. Hence, my decision to trade in for 06 MT + Navi. I love the way Honda has configured the gear ratios. It gives a better acceleration + drop down 1 or 2 gears and it rewards u with peak performance (vtec points reached easily on every gear). I decided to stay with TSX for its Honda reliability, interior design and one of the best 6 spd gear box in the market. The car is rated top 10 in car and driver magazine (the kick is - ONLY MT are test driven and reviewed). TSX only lacks power + torque..but it is a natural breathing engine.

  • Great car for the money - 2006 Acura TSX

    Since this car can be had for around $26,500, its a great bargin. If your looking for a entry level lux car that is reliable, well built and fun to drive then I strongly suggest test driving the TSX.

  • 10 Best for a Reason - 2006 Acura TSX
    By -

    Having just moved from a 3 year old TSX to the new 06 I can tell you the best just got better. Faster, quieter, and better handing--and the TSX was great before. Try finding another car with Power Adjustable Heated Leather Seats, Bluetooth Phone Interface, 6 Disc in dash CD Changer, Moonroof, iPod/Aux-In, folding rear seats, an amazing 6 speed transmission, Fog Lights, Homelink, ABS, Brake Assist, Head Curtain Airbags, 17" Alloy Wheels and Tires, and 0-60 under 7 second all standard and well under 30k. Only option is the Voice Activated Navi which I recommend. It was great before, and now is faster, more featured, and has a Zagat Guide built in.

  • Only the Alignment - 2006 Acura TSX
    By -

    I am very pleased with all aspects of my vehicle - 205 horsepower gives it good pick-up and all the extras are included in the price! Had a problem with alignment - shifting to right- and it took dealership 2 times to get it right. Of course, dont believe the 31/22 miles for fuel - but it is close if you dont play race car.

  • Better in every way - 2006 Acura TSX
    By -

    I came from a 2004 TSX that I loved, and this car is better in every way. There are so many new features this year. This car is faster, drives better, has more technology, has a more quiet cabin, feels more refined, has more creature comforts, and looks better than previous models. The only thing I may not love are the new wheels, but theyre growing on me. Everything in this car is well integrated and easy to use compared to other cars, kind of like a Mac to a PC. The total package is greater than the sum of its parts. The TSX is a gem that combines all the right moves at the right price, and for 2006, Acura has found a way to improve what was for me an already perfect car.

  • AMAZING CAR! - 2006 Acura TSX
    By -

    The car is just amazing. The engine is awesome and there is no noise from the engine. I just traded my 2003 Audi A4 for the 2006 Acura TSX...and i dont regret at all. The car is Perfect!

  • Better than I expected - 2006 Acura TSX
    By -

    I looked at the TSX after it won the Car of the Year from Car and Driver. I was impressed witht he attention to detail, size, looks and safety features. I also loved that there were no options, everything was included for under 30K.

  • Great Car - 2006 Acura TSX
    By -

    I found the TSX to be a great car. The steering is percise. Coming from only 6 cyclinder engines, I was surprised how powerful the car is. It is faster, more responsive, better site lines than the Volvo S60 it replaced. I have not had it that long, but I am looking forward to a long and happy relationship.
