  • Best value on the market - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    Save yourself some time. If youre looking for a higher-end vehicle that gets great gas mileage, is of outstanding quality, has great performance, and is a good value, get the Acura TSX. Im sure Lexus, Infiniti, Audi, and BMW have very good competing models. But you cant touch them for the same money. I researched vehicles for about 5 months before I bought my TSX. So far its lived up to my every expectation. Not sorry I made the choice. Engine noise is almost non-existent, even at high RPMs. This little car will really get up and go if you want it to. More that acceptable acceleration, even at low RPMs (considering its a 4-banger). A great car and a great value!

    I absolutely LOVE my car! I got it about 1 year & a half ago but I still feel like its new. It looks great (mine is red!) & it drives wonderfully. I had a Toyota Solara before this (it was my first car- Im only 21). It was good but this car is GREAT! Buy one!!!

    After several years of driving VW Jettas, I wanted a more sophistocated yet sporty vehical. Once I saw the TSX, I loved it - Once I drove the TSX I knew that I had to own it! Sorry VW, but the TSX give a whole new meaning to "FUN TO DRIVE". I bought my new TSX in July and have put nearly 11k enjoyable miles on it! I dont regret buying my car when I did, however, they have added heated side mirrors as well as power passenger seats. I still would buy mine again when I did - I love it!

  • LOVE my Acura! - 2005 Acura TSX

    When it comes to cars, I must be spoiled, because my history of cars have all been great (1990 Honda Prelude, 1997 Accord sedan, and 2000 Accord coupe). But since I got my TSX in May of this year, I have been in love! This car is sporty, stylish, sleek, everything you could possibly want in a car, and with just enough a hint of luxury to make this mid-20s chick feel rich! I was in a collision in my TSX recently and felt absolutely safe in my Acura. Its five star collision rating proved to be true, and I am still in love with my TSX!

  • Awesome Vehicle - 2005 Acura TSX

    I did a lot of research and decided on the Acura TSX. I drove a Mercury Cougar for 6 years and going from a two door 6 cylinder to a 4 door 4 cylinder made me apprehensive but that feeling was long gone after the first test drive. It rides much smoother, handles extremely well and I am very happy with the purchase.

  • TSX fast car with poor gas mileage - 2005 Acura TSX

    Very poor gas mileage on the first half tank of gas. Can burn 1/2 tank of gas in 1 day just doing local driving.

    The best drive I ever had in the TSX was the test drive. It makes a very good first impression. This quickly wears off though after you drive it for a month or two. It quickly develops rattles and squeaks and the precise handling quickly loses alignment. Its never starts without cranking too long. The fuel economy is much worse than advertised, even under optimal conditions. Seats are narrow and uncomfortable for an average-sized person. No side-body protective molding. Also, some of the fancy features are poorly implemented. It has power seats but no position memory which is worse (slower and less reliable) than plain old manual seats. Theres no "mute" button for the stereo.

  • Very Impressed - 2005 Acura TSX

    Love the car!!! Excellent handling and very quick. Also, I like that it doesnt have DRLs or automatic door locks and headlights, I like to be in control of the car, not the other way around. For the price, it cant be beat.

  • TSX - Fun car to Drive! - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    The TSX has been a great car to have in my driveway. It is a sports car that doubles as a small sedan. With six speeds and 200 horses under the hood it provides lots of driving fun.
