What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Acura TSX

Price of the Acura TSX: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Got it for well below invoice
2008 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 It was $5000 less than an A4 and $10000 less than a BMW 3.
2006 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 inexpensive in its class
2006 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 The TSX is a lot of car for the price. The only extra cost option is navigation, which I did not get. Everything else is standard.
2006 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Best value at the price point, compared to the competition (Lexus IS, Infiniti G35)
Price of the Acura TSX: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 too high
2007 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 Just seemed a bit pricy for what you were getting, but ther was no faulting the overall quality feel and execution of all aspects of this vehicle.
2006 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 For the same MSRP as the Accord V6 w/ 6SP, the monthly payment on the lease was about $100/mo. more. The dealers were also very firm with their pricing.
2006 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 Dealer unwilling to negotiate price.
2005 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 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
