Overview & Reviews

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.

• 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.

• Not much power until the engine gets revved up.

  Its a Honda - 2006 Acura TSX
  By gt0279a - December 12 - 3:46 pm

  After driving an 04 TSX 6sp for 2 years, I was looking for a new car and realized how much I enjoyed the TSX. Adding the Navigation is a world of difference, and makes it a true luxury car. The Nav is easy to use, but the voice recognition isnt perfect. I compared it to Lexus, Audi and BMW and the Acura navigation is still far superior. The black leather interior is very classy, and the seats are much more comfortable than in the 04. The Auto is very smooth and the new steering wheel design feels / looks better. Bluetooth for your phone is nice, but lacks some extra features BMWs have. Overall, a fantastic car for the $$$ - a comparable 3 series or A4 is atleast 6K more.

  Best value - 2006 Acura TSX
  By Roy - December 10 - 9:10 am

  Tested 325, C230, IS 250 and settled on the TSX. The vtec-4 engine is as smooth and strong as the competitors V6 or I6. Handling wise, TSXs FWD gave little away to RWD rivals under regular street driving . While the base prices are in the same range, by the time you spec up to match the TSX (leather, cd changer, xeon, 17" wheel) you are looking at something like $10k higher, so for me it was an easy decision. Only negative I have is with blind spots. The thick front A-pillar, steeply raked windshield, and high trunk lid all make it hard for my wife (54") to drive and park in tight spots. Granted this is not unique to TSX as the IS is as bad if not worse.

  Corners like its on rails - 2006 Acura TSX
  By Kelly - December 7 - 7:00 pm

  The TSX is a sweet ride. I was feeling a tad bit old when I started to consider a 4 door sedan... but you cant even tell that it is a 4 door when you are driving it. It hugs the exit ramps so close to the inside line and it is very diificult to lose control of this vehicle. The interior is sporty (I have quartz leather with brushed nickle finish) and easy to maintain. I hate that I have to sell this car to take over a company car - I wont say the name but that, my friends, is a car I guarantee I will notice the four doors.

  Great car at a great price!!! - 2006 Acura TSX
  By Chris P - December 7 - 12:37 pm

  I looked at every car you could think of in the $20k to $30k range, but in the end, you cannot beat everything you get with this car! This is my first new car in 10 years so even simple things like the 6-cd changer is a big upgrade for me! But you do get a lot of features with this car, a very stylish interior, great MPG, great handling and top notch safety features. All for about $25,000. How can you do better?

  Salesmans TSX - 2006 Acura TSX
  By george - December 2 - 10:28 am

  As a sales rep with a fairly large territory, I will put approximately 25,000 miles on the TSX this year. I would like a little more pep from the engine, but Im very satisfied with the fuel economy. Handling is superb, and the automatic transmission in manual mode delivers very satisfying performance on winding roads. The interior is very comfortable (although Id like a little more drama), and the stereo is simply incredible. The exterior styling is a little too BMW-like, but its still very easy on the eyes. With nearly 25,000 miles on the car already, Ive had no problems - none. And now with the posted highest resale value for a sedan, I know that I made an excellent choice.

  I Love this car! - 2006 Acura TSX
  By Dawn - November 19 - 10:45 pm

  I love this car! I bought it 4 days ago and every day I cant wait to drive the 30 miles to work! I had been looking for a new car for 4 months and no car had everything I wanted. I was so frustrated. Then a friend told me about Acura! I didnt think we could afford it, but after taking one test drive, I was in love! It has everything! And, its all included in the base model! Its everything I ever wanted in a car! Its just 100% pure class! And I love the fact that you dont see a million of them everywhere! I love it!!

  LOVE THE TSX - 2006 Acura TSX
  By AirBearEC7 - November 16 - 4:25 pm

  Have to say that I love the TSX both my sister and I have one. I got one first, and then when looking for my sisters car, we all realized there is no better deal than the TSX, it has everything that one needs, its classy, but fun, and the price isnt out there. This car is a keeper.

  Unbeatable at Anywhere Near its Price - 2006 Acura TSX
  By NormanS - November 16 - 2:51 pm

  The TSX displays a marvelous balance between smooth power delivery, sure-footed handling, braking, responsive steering, and comfort this balance is what makes the TSX fun to drive. Besides fun, it comes loaded with just about every feature standard, provides high reliability, and low TCO for a luxury car. The TSX automatic model is powerful enough for spirited driving on streets, twisting roads, and freeways. SportShift mode helps compensate for the TSXs low torque at low RPM. I find SportShift a viable option to a manual shift. TSX is more fun than the TL. Gas mileage: 19+/32+ MPG city/country. Experience: Manual Acura Legend, Lexus ES300 and LS400, Manual BMW 3.0S, BMW 540, BMW 740.

  Best Value for Price - 2006 Acura TSX
  By Wigman8 - November 14 - 5:40 pm

  Ive had the car almost six months so I thought I would stop back and help others as I used comments from this site to help make my decision. Let me just say, Im very happy with the decision I made to buy this car. The styling is nice, great interior, comfort, built in technology including blue tooth. I just drove from Minneapolis to Nashville (long story) and got 31.7 mpg. That is very impressive in my opinion. I compared this car to the BMW 3 series but was concerned about reliability as per consumer reports. The BMW is a very nice car, in fact maybe a better "drivers" car but the value and reliability of the TSX couldnt be topped. One negative - stiff suspension makes it bumpy

  Less than 2 months and I LOVE it!! - 2006 Acura TSX
  By CJTitans3 - November 13 - 9:49 pm

  I searched high & low before purchasing a vehicle. The Acura TSX was an excellent choice! I drove a Honda Accord before, so there was not much of a transition needed to adjust to the Acura except that it has more power & get-up beneath the hood. I just love driving it! Its great on gas. In town & on the highway, the performance is fabulous! This car is a nice way to get a taste of luxury for a fraction of the price.
