These cars are pretty quick and pull when accelerating.
These cars last forever as long as you keep up with the general maintenance. Oil changes, transmission flush, etc. Also they are extremely spacious. I am 6 ft tall and weighing in at 230 lbs and I have lots of legroom and am quite comfortable when sitting in the back.

It's a high quality Honda, with better features.
My car is a very good car to have overall. One problem to me is that I have to use premium gas only which isn't a bad thing it just cost a little more than regular gas. Other than that the cars good. They last long and if any real problem come about it's easy to fix or get it fixed.

2004 Acura tsx dark grey, black interior.
I got my 04 Acura tsx for my first car, I have had it for about 2 years now and I love it. The car has a very nice sleek look which I like. The interior is very comfortable and you can adjust almost everything in the car to suit your needs. I really love that the rear seats fold down. This allows me to fit half of the world in my trunk, very useful. The car has seat warmers which work very well, I live in Florida though so I just use them to keep my drive thru warm. The car is extremely reliable it has not given me any transmission or engine problems so I'd say it is a strong fighter. The only negative thing I can say is that leather seats crack after some time. My interior is still super clean but my passenger seat started cracking a bit, no biggie just make sure you give your seats some tlc from time to time.

Fun, sporty car that is great for road trips and everyday commute.
This is the best car I have ever owned. It handles well in the winter and is fun to drive in the summer. I am not the original owner, so my only complaint is transmission related likely a result from previous owner. When the time comes, I will not hesitate to buy another vehicle from Honda/Acura.

It has been amazing all the way around. A great first car!
I love that it has lasted me so long. It rides good. I like that it is comfortable. I like how long it has lasted. It is going on 300,000 miles though. There is not anything I dislike about it.

It gets great gas mileage.
I wish my vehicle was an all-wheel drive vehicle due to the conditions where I live. I also wish my car had an auxiliary input. I love the way my vehicle handles, as well as the low maintenance required.

Black Acura TSX with sunroof and huge trunk.
It is a black Acura TSX. The car has great acceleration. The car has a lot of space. The trunk is a good size trunk. I can fit all my groceries and more. There is a sunroof that works well. I enjoy the leather seats which make it easy to clean. I also like that the back seat can go down. This extends the trunk space by a kot.

The car is made for smaller people.
I like his long my car has lasted. But it has an endless list of things wrong with it. There's so many lights on in the car that it is looking like a christmas tree in there. Check engine light is on, also my airbag light is on when I definitely do have an airbag in there so that is weird. I drive and I am wondering if this is the day my dearest tsx will die.

Great luxury. Great sound system.
Ac and transmission problems. Not great power. I am not super happy with the gas mileage. It is great color too.
accountCircle Matthew J
It is amazing, and I wouldn't trade it for a Kia.
Runs amazing, some technology is failing due to age. But other than that it is an amazing car. I wouldn't recommend anything but a Honda product to anyone who wants to be safe, reliable, and happy. I have always dedicated my daily driver cars to be a Honda product not only because of everything listed but also because of its amazing resale value.
accountCircle Mike F
It is out of date with technology.
Likes- the sound system and leather. Dislikes- repair costs and the looks of got car. I also do not like the power of the car. ,

Road noise is too loud and the ride is not comfortable.
The ride is a little stiff. Too much road noise. Sound system is not good.

One of the most important thing is that this vehicle is special.
This vehicle is perfect. Fix in it ahead of time is a plus regarding maintenance. I will recommend this vehicle to people like me a woman with a family.
accountCircle Julio A
It was a great and sporty car while it lasted.
It drives really smooth and handles turns extremely well. The gas it takes is very expensive, but the car does makes up for it by having great gas mileage. After awhile the lights for the radio and heat began to short circuit and would no longer show up. Also the car doesn't have an aux but you could install your own by getting behind the radio.

Continuous electrical problems, be careful.
Overall the vehicle runs great and drives great. The only con is electrical problems. The power windows went out and soon after that the radio backlight went out. I have spent a considerable amount of money trying to troubleshoot and replace parts. Acura’s are known for electrical problems. Lesson learned.
