Acura TSX Reliability

Want to more clearly know what the difference in reliability will be if you buy a Acura TSX rather than another vehicle? Concerned about your chances of getting a lemon?

TrueDelta provides this information in the form of "times in the shop" stats that make the actual repair rates clear and, in the future, "lemon-odds."

The latest Car Reliability Survey (CRS) results include Acura TSX reliability information based on owner experiences through December 31, 2009:

Acura TSX Repair Histories

To supplement our Car Reliability Survey, TrueDelta collects Acura TSX repair histories, a list of all the repairs that have been performed on a vehicle. With these, no minimum sample is required and owners can report repairs that occurred before joining.

Individual responses to both the Car Reliability Survey and the Car Repair History Survey are posted here:

Acura TSX Extended Warranty

Concerned about the Acura TSX's reliability? Considering an extended warranty? Warranty Direct is a 26-year-old company with nearly 2 million contracts sold and over $500 million in paid claims.

Like insurance, extended warranties are best bought to limit downside risk, and from a company that is almost certain to remain in business. While for most people extended warranties will not pay off, for some they will pay for themselves many times over.

If you are unsure about the Acura TSX's reliability, or simply want the peace of mind afforded by an extended warranty, you can click here to purchase one from Warranty Direct.

Acura TSX Gas Mileage

Everyone knows that government estimates often aren't indicative of the Acura TSX's gas mileage in the real-world.

In response, TrueDelta began collecting gas mileage data from owners of the Acura TSX, with the intent of providing real-world gas mileage estimates customized to how and where you drive.

"Why (Not) the Acura TSX?" Reviews

For car buyers' reasons for buying a TSX--or not--click here.

Want another perspective? Since 1999, Michael Karesh, the developer of TrueDelta, has contributed reviews to Epinions, where he is one of two people who oversee the autos section.

Michael's most recent Acura TSX review.

Note: The older the review, the more likely it has become outdated owing to more recently introduced competitors.

Acura TSX Tire Reviews

The Tire Rack offers the Internet's most extensive collection of Acura TSX tire reviews, tire survey results, and tire tests. To see which tires are available for the Acura TSX--or for your car--and go from there to Tire Rack's comprehensive information, use the tool in the sidebar.

The Tire Rack can be especially useful as a source of winter tires, which I have strongly recommended ever since buying a set for my car. If you're unhappy with your car's handling and braking on snow and ice, you probably just need proper winter tires, not a new car.
