Full of features, yet economical.
For the price, this car is as good as it gets. Touch screen navigation, leather heated seats, moonroof, Bluetooth capability, etc. If you need a reliable car that you plan on driving till it dies, an Acura tsx is perfect. Economical while still giving you high end features. Will get around 25 mpg which is excellent for the type of miles we put on it and considering it is a 12 year old car. Literally no complaints at all, you cannot possibly go wrong with the tsx.

My awesome '06 Acura tsx!
The Acura tsx is the best vehicle I have ever owned. It has over 220,000 miles on it and it does not miss a beat. The only problem I have had was that there was a recall on a power steering part. After taking it to the dealership for part replacement, the power steering pump went out which caused me a great deal of problems. I will say that I blame the dealership for this. Air was left in the system. I have only had to do routine maintenance on my tsx other than that one issue. It still gets great gas mileage after all this time. It is been through a lot and I still live my little car so much!

Safe, comfortable, smooth ride. Oh, and it accelerates quickly, and you almost don't even feel it (so it's easy to go over the speed limit).
My TSX is perfect for me. It's a luxurious drive, impeccable handling, quick to react, an extremely smooth ride, quiet interior cabin, comfortable seats, stylish design. I don't really have any dislikes! Probably the one thing is related to the age of the car, the trunk just smells old (but that's expected).

You know you want and Acura, and here is why...
The Acura TSX is a wonderful ride, smooth handling, great gas mileage, always reliable. It's comfort is beyond compare, leather interior, adjustable seats, 6 CD changer, dual temperature gauges so when your passenger is cold or hot they can regulate their own. Heated seats which are a blessing on those below zero Illinois mornings. I have never had a car like this before, it is amazing.

The Timeless and Endearing Acura
The pros of this car include dual heated seats, a moonroof (or sunroof, whichever one you prefer to call it), sleek design and leather seats. The design holds up as attractive regardless of the age of the car. The output of music/sound is also tremendous.

After 13 Years... It Drives Like Brand New
The 2006 Acura TSX is a very reliable vehicle. The key is, you take care of the maintenance and it will last for many years to come. It is a very comfortable ride and I love the heated leather seats for the winter. The size of the car is perfect; not too big or small.

Acura TSX 2006, 2007 parts
The airbag Light is on constantly on both my Acura TSX. There's a sound that proceeds to continue. The rest of the car seems to be awesome. I live in a winter town as it's called and I'm able to drive up the hills in my town. I would consider driving this on a long trip.

Sleek but practical. A luxury car that is not over the top.
This has been a great and reliable car. I think one con of it is that there is a pretty significant blind spot to the front left of the driver. It requires the medium level gas. It has a built in navigation system which was really awesome in the beginning. However, the program is just a CD so it is now outdated and I use my phone instead.

I love the charcoal blue color of my car.
All around any car you purchase by Acura is very reliable. My car us just very old has a lot of miles, and has been in a car accident, so it does have the occasional issue and I have to get premium unleaded gas, which can get very pricey. It is a great family car, and travel car. I have gone to Arizona and back with three dogs and still had a comfortable ride without it being cramped. Trunk space is great and it is an all around great brand of car to purchase.

It is fast and reliable and comfortable.
I do not like how much of a gas hog it is and how I have to fill up all the time, and use supreme gas so it comes out to a lot of money.
accountCircle Ben K on November 26, 2020
This car rides extremely smoothly, but if needed it will accelerate very quickly and has the potential to go fast.
My Acura TSX has always ran great. I bought it used from one owner with about 60,000 miles on it. Since then I have not had any major problems. I have only needed to keep up with normal maintenance. The suspension is very smooth and there is plenty of space for a sedan.
