This Year's Model Updates:

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.

  • A great car - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    I love this car. fast and is only 4 cylinder.

  • Mixed Expirience - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    I initially loved my TSX, but regretably the ownership expirience has turned out to be quite frustrating. My copy has an idle vibration unbecoming of a $30K car. It also quickly developed brake issues in first 15K miles. Vehicle also makes high pitched whining sound at speed. Told brake grinding sound and vibration were normal. Dealer blame for whine goes to tires. Dealer no help with regards to any of these issues -- "talk to Michellin". Climate control display shows incorrect temperature (by about 5 degrees). Will trade in on something else within the coming weeks.

  • FUN FUN FUN...no regret! - 2005 Acura TSX

    This car is the perfect package, combining performance, luxury, fun, design, and quality in the standard package. Although, acceleration cannot compare to BMW, Lexus, or Audi, its perfect for everyday driving. Comparing to the entry level vehicles offered by the 3 listed above, TSX wins hands down. In the standard pkg at 36,100 cdn, leather, sunroof, automatic, 6 cd changer, heated seats, etc...basically all you could ask for except the nav option. I have it in black, looks great with the contrasting chrome.

  • Great Car for the price - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    This car is really great. It is so quiet inside and very sporty. The car has a real up market feel and is a great choice for this price range. Dont buy any other car in the $25,000 range until you test drive a TSX. Great Reliability and tons of standard upgrades.

  • Would suggest to anyone. - 2005 Acura TSX

    Absolutely wonderful car. I use it as my fun car and drive a 92 cavalier to work. Great for long trips.

  • THE car to get!! - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    We looked at Accord/Altima and opted for the TSX. You simply cannot beat more standard options and a comfortable ride for the price. I put on 3K miles in a week just joy riding. Rides the same to this day. No maintenance problems. Residual value is good, too. We are everyday drivers and dont mind a 4-cyl but it cranks out 200 hp. It does great and were going to trade in our SUV for an 06 TSX. Definitely give this car a try!

  • You must test drive this car - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    Ive spent the last 3 weeks reviewing and testing driving cars in the $24,000 - $34,000 range, including Accords, Outback 2.5i wagons, BMW 325is, Nissan Maximas, the Toyota RAV4, the Acrua TL, and the TSX. Our need was to have a car that could sub as a family sedan (ie, put a car seat in it if necessary), but provide suitable transportation for business travel and work commuting. My hope was to find a car with a sporty pretence but with a sedan functionality - the TSX fit the bill. The plethora of reviews killing the TL for rattles, squeaks, and harmonic vibrations scared us away from that car. The Accord would have been our second option if the negotiation on the TSX had fallen through.

  • Very, very GOOD Acura... - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    I used to drive a MAXIMA for 10 years. I really liked the car. However, the new model comes with a steep price tag so I decided for an up-scale model such as the TSX. Ive never looked back since. For only 25.855.00, Ive got a car that really loves to rev and the engine sounds so effortlessly in doing so...The TSX comes with all high-end features found in the entry luxury class...The performance in top notch and most important, ACURA is known for its reliability...If you want the prestige of german cars, it will cost you dearly. If you want performance, good quality and reliability for a reasonable price, go for the TSX. You wont regret it...!!!

  • Happy owner - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    My first Acura leasing in replacement of a Toyota Corolla LE 2003. My daughter has been an enthousiastic promoter of Honda and owns an Acura EL 2005 so I was convinced to try this car. It is luxurious, fun to drive and economical. It is powerful and very steady on the highway as it feels like a much bigger car. I will probably upgrade to the larger TL when leasing is up. I am very happy with my first ever Honda product.

  • TSX perfoms - navigation is key - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    Extremely satisfied with this very fun to drive and hi-tech vehicle. The navigation system is essential to enjoyment of this vehicle as it offers the capability to use your bluetooth phone and allows for voice control of many car functions. The gas mileage is tremendous.
