Acura TSX Reliability through December 31, 2012

An asterisk (*) marks results based on small sample sizes.

General NotesModels and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.

Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.

New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

What Our Members Are Saying about Acura TSX Reliability and Durability

Reliability and Durability of the Acura TSX: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 A total of more than 33000 miles with this car and the only issue of note is a minor rattle that came up that I isolated to the dash gauge cluster cover. My local dealership took care of this under warranty and haven't had any further issues. The engine is a thing of beauty; just give it regular oil and filter changes.
2010 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 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.
2009 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Honda
2009 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 This is my first Acura. However, the brand has a good reputition of reliability. Yet to be seen and hope it all true.
2007 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 The car has only had maintenance (minimal at that) and no repairs. It shows no signs of wear or aging.
2007 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Rated among the top for reliability. Nice warranty on Certified used.
2006 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 it is a very reliable car
2006 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 No problems to report as of yet. Reliability was highest in its class on many reviews including Consumer Reports and Edmunds.
2006 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 I have only had one problem that was quickly fixed under warranty, and it was not drive train related. Otherwise not a problem.
2006 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Acura/Honda. WHat needs to be said more?
2006 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 TROUBLE FREE
2006 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Honda / Acura are known for their reliability.
2004 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 This is my first Honda brand product but I expected good reliability, based on friends who owned them and general reputation. I've not been disappointed in any way.
2004 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 Apart from the lighting behind the radio and climate control buttons, there's not a single thing wrong with it. It's a Honda product from the good old days when that meant implicit quality with no ifs, ands, or buts. (Except for that radio thing, I guess.) It's a 2004 with 143,000 miles as we speak, the last 40,000 of which I personally put on over the last year and a half, and the only sign of its age is some wind noise around the drivers' side door seal.
2004 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 My research shows that this is one of the most reliable cars on the market today.
