Other Choices:

Shoppers looking at the 2009 Acura TSX will probably be considering other front-wheel drive vehicles, and possibly all-wheel drive vehicles, but more expensive rear-wheel-drive sport sedans such as the BMW 3-Series and Lexus IS are likely above their budget and wants. The Subaru Legacy GT has performance that rivals the TL, though its handling is a little more crisp and all-wheel drive makes it more all-weather-friendly. The Legacy’s back seat is also tight. However the Legacy isn’t as quiet and refined as the Acura. The Nissan Maxima is another alternative; it’s not as feature-rich as the TSX, but it has a torquey V-6 engine that gives it scorching acceleration off the line. The base, front-wheel-drive Audi A4 2.0T is also a worthy competitor, with similarly good fuel efficiency and edgier performance without a sacrifice in ride. Versus any of these competitors, there’s another big selling point: Acura dealerships.

    thoughts on TSX after Accords

    I bought a new 09 TSX in mid-July after buying four Honda Accords over the last 18 years. Compared with my last V6 Accord (2003) the TSX has a few drawbacks. Less space in interior console and door pocket area, door pockets that don't hold drinks as well, more rattles and buzzes at 4000Km than the Accord has at 90,000Km, the need for high octane fuel, disappointing fuel milage (no better to date than V6 Accord), no strut to hold up hood, a ridiculously small battery (we have real winters in this part of Canada), reduced rear seat room, and a fairly cheap single player CD. In Canada Acura charges 25% more than US prices, so this is no bargain car. The car is okay, but less than I was expecting from the Acura division. Next time I will look elsewhere to buy.
