Overview & Reviews
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.
- 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.
- Forgettable styling, not much power until the engine gets revved up.

05 Nighthawk Pearl TSX - 2005 Acura TSX
By Sophia - August 12 - 2:01 amI bought my car exactly two years ago. It is a very small and super comfortable car. It definitely is a comuter car. My 05 has comfortable tan leather seats. I love my LED lights!! I tinted my windows so the car looks even better. I had to eventually get new brakes and 3 of my cylinders blew up which was provoked by the previous owner who used the wrong material the first time! My battery eventually gave out so i replaced it. I just replaced my thermostat which was constantly fluctuating in temp in a span of 2 minutes. The costs were low and the parts were cheap. Unfortunately the car does not come with an aux so i bought a cheap mp3-radio converter. I used to be able to hit 350 mpt but now i barely get bg 330 miles (depends on traffic!!!!!!!!) Cheapest i paid was $32 for gas without any safeway discounts and the most i have paid was 65-70$ (cant remember exactly). My tank holds 14 gallons. I have seen really nice bumper body kits that make the car look nice! This is not a race car!!!!! I despise seeing tsxs and hondas built completely when in reality theyre not rally cars!!!! (I have seen a dope built tsx though. It only looks good if the owner knows what theyre doing to their car except for Honda fanatics! Stay away from those!!!) I do not suggest putting an exhaust because it will sound horrible and everyone will laugh at you. V techs produce farting sounds! You cant escape that noise..ever. Acuras and hondas are not rally cars! They shouldnt be built especially stanced.... Overall, it is a fun and cute car! Still my first car but definitely was/is a great learning experience and comuter car. Parks easily. The costs are reasonable. I

2005, but still very relevant! - 2005 Acura TSX
By sternerd - September 13 - 7:57 amNeeded to upgrade my 1999 Accord EX-V6. Despite numerous issues with it, I still like Hondas reliability overall and have always liked Acuras. Got an incredible deal on a used TSX from an owner who babied it since he bought it in 2004 only 55k miles. It still looks and runs like its brand new. Love how it handles, love the interior. Has some pep, but I find it relatively quiet. Very sleek and stylish I think looks better than a lot of cars that are new. As other reviewers have mentioned, Ive had a lot of compliments. For a 10 year old car, its pretty impressive. Downside is the premium gas. Thankfully, not filling up often so cost offsets. 24/32 MPG.

Bad Milano Red Paint, Acura Reluctant to Fix - 2005 Acura TSX
By doug_g - November 6 - 7:20 pmCar drives great but Acura does not want to stand behind its very poor quality paint. Whatever you do, DO NOT BUY A RED ONE!!! Unless of course you like pink cars. The assistance they offered for a repaint job only covered 1/4 of the cost. Dont forget that it take premium fuel too. Costs much more than a Honda to own.

TSX - 2005 Acura TSX
By bubba - November 2 - 2:00 amHave over 170,000. A few problems, power locks, rear suspension (tow out), but for the miles and fuel mileage a fantastic auto. Navigation is outstanding, interior is of best quality. May buy anothr but only after 300,000 on this one.

Good Value - 2005 Acura TSX
By mplssetter - July 1 - 4:07 pmI bought this car with 68K miles on it for a very good price. I love it so far. I had a Jetta before and the TSX is much more powerful and rides very smooth. I have owned it for 6 months and the only issue so far is with the door locks failing to work with the remote. I see that has been a problem in other reviews as well. I hope its not expensive to fix. I plan on keeping this car for another few years.

quality, value, fun - 2005 Acura TSX
By dr - June 9 - 9:53 pmI have put 84,000 mi. on it and it is tight and rattle free. Still love the 6 spd manual. Everything functions as it should. I rent more expensive cars and miss the quality of the TSX. Premium gas is only real downside.

Youthful yet Practical - 2005 Acura TSX
By Mark - November 20 - 12:40 pmI couldnt see myself in a 4 door family car since I am only 22 but this car is awesome. The 6 speed is the smoothest tranny Ive ever driven and the high class style leaves nothing more to be desired. Outstanding ride, navi is a must, great handling, and of course great looks. Tint the windows and no one will ever call it a family car.

Outstanding Sports Sedan! - 2005 Acura TSX
By Mitch G - October 31 - 3:30 amAbsolutely one of the best values out there in the true sports (bordering on luxury) sedans. You can pay almost $10K more if you really need the BMW name. If youre okay without it, however, this car wont let you down. Once inside and driving it, youll be sold. I cant help but smile every time I get in my new TSX. Im 100% pleased - no buyers remorse at all.

Best Buy for the Buck - 2005 Acura TSX
By Markus Heinrich - September 23 - 12:33 amMy 97 CL has 200,000 miles without incident so it was natural for me to buy another Acura. I wasnot dissapointed. With the 6M it accelerates quickly, handles well and is a joy to drive. Only complaint is the the black leather gets extremely hot in summer. OUCH.
