  I recommend the TSX!
A member from Ohio, United States

Best Reason to Buy the Acura TSX: Feature availability
Even without the tech package, the car is very well-equipped for the price. Favorite features are the automatic xenon headlights and the flawless bluetooth-iPod interface. Base stereo is decent, most of the time I play an mp3 disk or bluetooth music from my iPhone.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Acura TSX: Quietness
As is common in Acura and Honda products nowadays, the TSX is by no means a quiet car. Under heavy acceleration, the engine sounds like a cheap 4-cylinder. There is also quite a bit of road noise on coarse pavement. For this reason I chose to lease the car for three years rather than buy it (I am hoping the forthcoming TLX is much quieter than the TSX).

  2010 Acura TSX: A Great Car!
A member from Georgia, United States

Best Reason to Buy the Acura TSX: Exterior styling
Very Aggressive Stance and lots of positive comments from neighbors

Best Reason Not to Buy the Acura TSX: Ride smoothness
Ride is a little stiff and it could be quieter on the road but overall ride is comfortable and good for long trips.

  A happy Acura TSX owner
A member from California, United States

Best Reason to Buy the Acura TSX: Handling
I bought my TSX new in 2004. I test drove at least six competing models, including the Acura TL. The closest competitor was a 3-series BMW but I liked the TSX better.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Acura TSX: Color choices
Too many cars in this area are either black, silver, metallic gray, or white. I feel my metallic gray is attractive but might enjoy something more distinctive. (Wow, that is my biggest complaint!)

Best Reason to Buy the Acura TSX: Exterior styling
Clean, understated, almost minimalist design. Dangerously close to the bland/clean line, though.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Acura TSX: Color choices
Paint seems to age faster than many comparable cars. I've got a bit of orange peeling on upper surfaces, and I've seen a handful of red cars with the misfortune of a pink roof. Also, my black car was stuck with beige leather and burl wood trim, which doesn't really suit the sporty nature of the car the way the aluminum trim basically every other exterior color the car came with does.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Acura TSX: Quietness
TSX was much louder interior than Accord Hybrid. Even when the gas engine is on in the Accord you can not really hear it. Even with radio and climate control turned off the engine is almost silent

Other Reasons Not to Buy the Acura TSX: Warranty, scheduled maintenance cost

  Well balanced package, some fun included.
A member from New Jersey, United States

Best Reason to Buy the Acura TSX: Fuel economy
Surprisingly good fuel economy. Averaging around 27 mpg even with mixed driving conditions and a lead foot more often than not. Beats the EPA estimates easily especially in highway driving where 32+ MPG is possible.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Acura TSX: Safety & braking
One of the demerits of the TSX. Braking is easily modulated, but generally weaker than average for a near lux car though they are fine for daily road use. Upgrading to better brake lines, pads and rotors goes a long way to remedy this.

Best Reason to Buy the Acura TSX: Reliability & durability
The build quality of the Acura is impressive. Materials and interior styling are not necessary luxurious, but solid and feel pleasant to the touch. The historical quality of a 4 cyl/ 6 speed manual Honda should be top notch.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Acura TSX: Price or payments
Too expensive for what you get as a used car. Nothing I can see warrants this high resale value for what is essentially a European Honda Accord
