I tell everyone its a V4 and their like this is the fastest v4 i have been in. Other ppl say this car is awsome, its so quick. Sometimes i lie and say it has a turbo, ha. Not many cars that are V4 are sweet as the TSX engine.

you might need to re-read the manual or something, it's not a V4, it's a I4... and why go around telling ppl it's a turbo when it's not? what's the point?

sorry about the wrong info.
i think he meant our tsx is 4 cylinder built in Japan.

i don't think he meant to criticize the American built Acura TL v6 in any way.

I knew what you meant, but it does make some sense to know that your TSX is an inline four (I4), not a V. When you're talking to people about your engine, you'll spare yourself some embarassment, especially if you're talking to someone who knows something about engines.

So, now you know. No need to get huffy.

someone else can comment on the V4 cars. But I know there are V4 motorccycles..I had one: our 2 wheeled cousin-Honda VFR 750 is a V4 with cam driven gears.

No don't deny it your a straight up noob, tard, what ever you like to be called. You should never make a comment about an engine again till you actually open the hood of your car! Nobody makes the mistake of calling an I4 a V4. You are totaly ignorant about cars and engines in general just admit it already!

That's all a farce!! The TSX isn't quick at all, it's an I-4 like all the others have said, and it doesn't have a turbo. Stop spreading lies about the TSX.

I remember when we were looking for cars, my father told a salesman that we want a car with a "V4." After the man tried to make him feel stupid for saying "V4," he asked him if he knew what blunting of the costophrenic angle implied. The guy gave him some baffled look and asked him what hell was talking about. He called the man an idiot and told me to get in the car and we drove off. It was pretty funny.

V implies an angle less than 180º. The boxers are F4 or H4, but would never be considered a V4.

WTF. You are an idiot. First of all, its NOT a V4 its an I4. Second of all, its vtec and NOT vtech. And third of all, vtec belongs on V6 or V8 engines which is why the TSX, with an I4 engine has Itec. Get your facts together before you post stupid shit like this.

Proud of I4

For many reasons, I purposely wanted to get a 4-cylinder car before purchasing, and I am damn happy about what TSX has to offer. Yes, extra power will be nice, but even a G35 owner would wish there is more horsepower in the G at times. Yes, I am aware that Camry now has 260+ horsepower, but oh well, I don't a Camry, 2006 or 2007 model.

The American automobile industry has used "bigger is always better" propaganda for the longest time. But Honda engineers and manufactures sweet sweet 4-cylinder engine, not Hemi's.

I4 V4, turbo, no turbo -- they are funny jokes/mistakes. Haha. Let it go.
