A reliable car for short and long trips.
No problems with this vehicle other than normal wear and tear, performance is great for the most part(a bit sluggish to pick up speed), comfort is superior(leather seats are great for long trips), tech features are not spectacular. Bluetooth is hard to connect to a new phone unless it is paired(which takes a long time).

Acura TSX is the ultimate family and luxury vehicle.
I love the slick sporty design, it drives great and rides really smooth. The interior is roomy for 5 people. The truck is very spacious and the spare tire and jack is quick and easy to get to. The acceleration is fast and the charging ports for your phone is easily located below the radio. There is also a charging port inside of the arm rest along with a auxiliary port.

Great and reliable compact car.
The Acura TSX is really a great car to own. It performs really well does not matter where you drive it whether it is on city roads or the highway. You can rely on it to get you there. The seats are very comfortable the front seats have warmers in them. The only problem I have is the front left tire air keeps coming out so I have to fill it back up everytime I drive. Also the car have indicators that let you know if tire needs air or if you need an oil change, etc.

This car looks very good and drives very well.
No issues with this car in the last year and a half, it drives very smoothly and it is very comfortable. Shifts very well and it had airbags everywhere. I would recommend this car to anyone. It is very reliable and looks very good as well. Easy to drive and fun as well,

The Acura TSX is a fun, stylish, and very reliable vehicle
I have all the bells and whistles. Smooth ride, great acceleration, and living in Minnesota means lots of snow. With new tires on, it powers through the snow quite well. Comfortable interior, lots of features including hands free calling, seat warmers, and backseat armrest/cup holder. It has a decent sound system by Bose. I have had it almost two years, bought it used and have passed 100K miles, and have had very little maintenance issues! Just routine repairs, such as a lightbulb and replaced what powers/charges the battery(forgot the name of it). It has a large enough display screen for a reverse camera, but does not have one. The mileage has taken very little from the performance, I feel confident in this car on long trips, instead of having anxiety about whether I'll run into any issues. Love it

Its sporty, its comfortable, technologically equipped even at the base model.
I got my tax 7 years ago. Never had a major problem with it. Always enjoy cruising with it short or even long drive. Very reliable car. Speed up and no problem at all. I could not be happier with this car. It may not be a number 1 car but it does everything well.

It is a good vehicle just a transmission issue.
My car works fine but my transmission is the problem it makes the car sound weird and it feels weird. Overall the performance is not that bad and the mileage is pretty good. I would totally recommend this to someone who is buying or wants to buy their first car.

Comfortable and Reliable - Nice Choice for 2010
My Acura TSX has been a very reliable vehicle. The vehicles I have had in the past were smaller and manual transmission, but the TSX has been great for quick acceleration, and is a smooth ride. The interior of the car is comfortable, however it does take some practice to use the rear view mirror effectively and with ease. For the model year, the dash and radio features are just average, but I do have the basic package and I suppose the tech package is upgraded nicely. I still haven't found the perfect place to set up my wireless phone charger - definitely a feature I will want included in my next vehicle. I haven't had any major mechanical problems yet, but I do plan on replacing the brakes this year and having some engine and transmission work completed. Overall a nice car for the model year, but is now very much outdated in every way.
accountCircle Jasmine P
The maintenance is overpriced.
I enjoy the way my car feels on the road but I wish it accelerated faster. It has a nice technology package but is becoming a little outdated. It costs more than one hundred dollars to upgrade and update the GPS maps, which seems unnecessary to me. Overall I am happy with the car but have had others I enjoy more.

2010 Acura TSX lifetime owner review.
My car is a bit older now so it is less appealing, but when I first got it was brand new, fully loaded. It drives well and is quite comfortable. It is also very reliable and overall a great car. The interior leather seats have begun to rip apart though so that makes it less attractive.
accountCircle Milena B
Great performance and reliability.
I love my Acura. It is very reliable and for a ten year old car has everything one would need. It is a super comfortable car and fits into tiny parking spaces. Haven't had any issues with the car except for the air conditioning.. Which I had to put a grand to fix basically the moment I got it.
accountCircle Tuan H
The gas mileage is not that great for a 4 cylinder
I like that it is sporty. I like that it is four doors. I like that it is reliable. I don't like the gas mileage.
accountCircle Eric B
Acura tsx is a durable car.
Acura are good reliable cars. My car has over 120, 000 miles and is still driving well. The car rides very low and wide, but visibility is good. Inside is very roomy in both the front seat and the back seat. I do not like that the back seats do not pull down to open the trunk. The trunk is pretty big and can fit a lot of things.

Amazing car I ever got and I have been bought a new car in many years.
I bought the car in 2009 and it been great. Run very smooth, miles on gas amazing. Maybe I got one in a million but since 2009 until now there are no major repairs at all. I put in over 260 thousand miles on it and it still run very smoothly. My next car going be Acura again.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Selena S.

Pros is that gas can last a long time, good sturdy car and it is reliable. I love my Acura cause it freaky does not give me many issue then normal wear and tear issues. Also nice speaker system in the car. I do also live the leather seats.

likeFilled Rachel L.

It drives very well, it is very comfortable, roomy but not too big, and audio is great. The tech package is awesome and the rear camera helps a lot with parking so you do not hit other cars. I like the sleek and stylish design.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Selena S.

The brakes can sometimes act weird on me. That is the only issue I have really had with my car I do like everything else about my car to date. It is enjoyable to drive around and it is a car that fits me. I love Acura.

dislikeFilled Rachel L.

I do not see many cons other than high oil consumption. It could have some better gas mileage and it also requires presidium gasoline which is more expensive. Repairs are also expensive and maintenance is expensive as well.
