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.

  • TSXstacy! - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    As this is my very first brand-new car I may be a little biased. I did a lot of research and test drives and when the dust settled the TSX was the clear choice. Honda reliability, The Acura name-status without being pretentious and driveability. This car is fun to drive and you feel confident that it will handle most traffic situations with ease, except a stoplight-to-stoplight blast with any car with a potent V6 or better (not a big deal to me). Ergonomics seem to be dead-on and the seats are wonderful. I love the instrument cluster and how easy it is to read, even in bright daylight. If you are considering a new car, do not fail to test drive this one.

  • Best car Ive had - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    This is by far the best car Ive owned its my 10th Honda made car and the best. I love the HID lights and XM radio, although another 20hp or so would be nice its still a fantastic car and the best buy for the money anywhere. Do yourself a favor and put this car at the top of your shopping list.

  • A truly wonderful automobile - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    Ive owned this car for over a month so far and cannot be happier with my decision to buy it. I had cross-shopped this vehicle with the BMW 3-series (reliability concerns and much less value for money), Audi A4 (again, less value for the money), Lexus IS 300 (too small) and Mazda6 (inferior build quality). No other vehicle was comparable to the all-around the performance, quality, and features found in the TSX. The power is excellent especially for a 4-cylinder engine, and the handling is taut and precise. The interior is very nicely appointed, and the car comes fully loaded. I opted against the only option - the navigation feature as I didnt think it was necessary for my needs.

  • Great car!! - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    The car does seem to use a lot of gas for its size; good acceleration from stop; fun to drive you dont even notice the engine straining at high speeds (this is how I got my first speeding ticket); I got one foggy headlight (inside) that I had to have the dealer fixed but its no big deal; the radio control on the steering wheel is kind of squeaky; spacious trunk compartment. Overall this is a great car!

  • Fun to Drive - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    My TSX is 6 months old and the Mike has quit working. Part has been out of stock for 3 weeks. Other than that I love my car. Great acceleration, smooth transmission. I also like the firm steering. I took a friend for a ride and she said it feels like the seats "hug" you. The Navigation is awesome! If you have ever been to a City or State and you dont know where to eat or need a gas station, no problem.

  • Best 4 on market - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    The TSX handles well and has a great 4 engine which does best at high RPMs. This makes it fun to drive particularly in the manual shift mode. The interior is well laid out with everything you would want standard.

  • solid fun! - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    This is a GREAT value. Precise, tossable, high quality materials and understated. I have owned an Accord, 99 Passat, Infiniti G, Acura Legend, Maxima... this a superb combination of the best of most worlds - quick, jewel- like 6 spd, joyful handling and smooth. The 03 Accord I traded was the best overall car I ever owned and the TSX significantly ups the fun to drive factor as well as a few extra goodies. It would be good if it didnt require premium. The sound system is excellent and black leather with titanium-look accents is gorgeous. I drove it 1200 miles this weekend-superb!

  • Great Car - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    I bought my TSX last year in August and so far its been a great car. I compared several cars and found this one to be the best one. The TSX is cheaper than other foreign competitors and has more standard features.

  • This Car is a 10 - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    The car looks Great and is fun to drive. Well built and reliable. Fuel mileage is ok but the power makes up for the average fuel mileage. Overall its the best car Ive ever owned!

  • Love this car - 2005 Acura TSX

    Ride is not as soft as my V-6 Accord, but handles much better. 4 cylinder has decent torque, but accelerates better @ freeway speed rather than o-60
