CarGurus' 2008 Acura TSX Review

Source: CarGurus

As an entry-level luxury sports sedan, the Acura TSX combines Honda's technological prowess with Acura's accent on upscale appointments. For example, Acura's "standard" list on the TSX seems to include many of normal options on other brands - here are a few of them: Xenon high-intensity discharge headlights, automatic climate control with interior air filter, power glass tilt and slide moonroof, Acura premium sound system with 6-disc CD changer and XM Satellite Radio, and trip computer.The...

Other Choices:

The 2008 Acura TSX is in a tight size and price bracket, in which people are looking for front-wheel-drive models--possibly with all-wheel drive--and probably rule out the more expensive yet less practical rear-wheel-drive sport sedans like the BMW 3-Series and Infiniti G35. The Audi A4 2.0T is a close rival to the TSX; its 200-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbocharged engine is close in output to the TSX's engine, but the Audi's advantage in torque makes it feel faster in most real-world driving. The Audi gets better fuel economy, too, of up to 31 mpg, but it doesn't have handling that's as light and nimble as the TSX. The Saab 9-3 is another close rival, with the base model priced closely to the TSX, with similar power from its 210-horsepower engine, a standard manual transmission, and a similar cabin: spacious in front, with great seats, but rather small in back. The Subaru Legacy GT has the all-weather advantage of all-wheel drive, and a bit more power from a 250-horsepower, turbocharged flat-four engine; it doesn't get the gas mileage of the TSX, 9-3, or A4, though. The Maxima is another alternative; it's larger and roomier--the choice for those who want more backseat space--and it has a smooth and powerful 255-horsepower V-6 engine. Acura dealership service is another selling point in itself.
