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.

  • A very good car - 2006 Acura TSX
    By -

    I got this car last year for my graduation present, and I must say that I love my car. I used to drive a 2003 Acura TL and switching to this was "bittersweet." Going from 3.2L to a 2.4L was a bit of a bummer. I noticed this especially on the interstate. The TSX had a much more fun sport shift mode (hearing the engine switch gears). But the seats in the 03 TL were much more softer. This car is fun fun fun to drive in the city. The dash has a very simple design with clean contour lines. I love how the backseats fold down for me to put my band equipment. But I do not love how it is difficult to get change out of the change cubby when the car is parked because the shifter is in the way.

  • The complete package and a great value - 2006 Acura TSX

    Found a new 2006 model in February and glad I did. My last three cars have been: 2005 Saab 9-3, 2003 MINI Cooper and 1997 Audi A4. Overall, the TSX outclasses them all. Handling is on par with the A4, comfort is comparable to the 9-3, and its as fun to drive as the MINI. All this and Acuras reputation for quality and reliability, and a price thousands less than its European and Japanese competitors with every feature standard. Anyone looking for a sports sedan needs to seriously consider the TSX.

  • No Comparison! - 2006 Acura TSX
    By -

    I was in market for a 4 cylinder vehicle that would provide the get and go power, as well as better gas mileage in comparison to my 2004 Honda Odyssey. I first test drove the 4 cylinder Honda Accord, but found the TSX handled better, had a smoother more comfortable ride, more horsepower and better standard equipment.

    The Acura TSX is simply a great car! Fantastic build quality interior fit and finish is simple yet refined. Every relevant option under the sun is included as standard definitely a car with attributes to be envied by ALL other manufacturers.

  • Top Notch All The Way - 2006 Acura TSX
    By -

    In the past three years Ive owned a 1998 BMW 3-series, a 2003 Audi A4 and a 2005 Volvo S40 T5. This car is so far beyond all of these cars, it leaves nothing to be considered. The best car Ive ever owned in every way. Smooth, quiet, handling, features and (maybe best of all) PRICE! Would recommend to anyone.

  • Should have bought it sooner - 2006 Acura TSX

    Exceptional comfortable riding car especially on the highways. It has so many goodies, nav. xm radio and the info it gives you (outside temp, mpg, miles to empty, average mph, etc). The 6 speed is great. Shifts very smoothly. Love the color - milano red with ebony int.

  • Never Sell - 2006 Acura TSX
    By -

    Ive had the car for 9 months, and it is hands down the best car I have ever owned. I prefer it over even my fathers Cadillac STS, which I drive often, although, not as often as I used to. It handles like a sports car, with the room and comfort of a luxury auto. Shifting back and forth from automatic to manual allows for some fun, but spares the pain of using a clutch in the city. It has the best of both worlds, with awesome acceleration and great fuel economy... and this from a four cylinder engine. I couldnt be happier.

    Owned this car one month - love it. It is milano red with ebony int. Very good on the highways. No problems using regular gas.

  • I am in love - 2006 Acura TSX
    By -

    Get this car. The photos dont do it justice. Take it for a test drive.. It will change your mind. Every one I know loves this car. It is the best value around. Do you really need anymore power? This one does everything well, not just a few great like the BMW and AuDI.Silky smooth six speed buttery soft leather. Every one loves the XM and Voice navigation.

  • The Best Car, I have ever owned - 2006 Acura TSX
    By -

    I have owned many 4 cyl cars in the past 33 years. The TSX is a sport sedan that is the fun to drive every day. I have read all the reviews about TSX needing more horsepower, for what reason! My wife (Mich) grew up driving V-8s and V-6s she said the TSX is the fastest car she has ever driven and her first manual shift. Check out the top ten cars on the residual value list. I am happy TSX does not suit everyone taste.
