Too bad Acura as a nameplate as a whole only scored 117, just barely above the industry average of 119 (problems per 100 vehicles?).

Yet Honda scored higher at 99. So either Honda owners complain less or Acura owners are pickier.

You may have noticed that those are for Canada only. But, still.







Go to Canada? Why would we leave America to go to America junior?

And Lexus owners aren't picky? Given all the problems wth the TL and the fact that Acura Canada sells the EL I'm not surprised. I am surprised that the TSX finished 1st though.

Can't say I've ever been a JD Power fan. So, to me, this is a lot like the TSX winning that Automobile shootout. Its nice, but consider the source.

Yup, and I weight C & D's shootout, and the positive reviews by Consumer Reports (as well as the great reliablity rating in CR) heavily.

there were only 3 contestants in the tsx category. It beat the t-bird? big deal.

My accord was more trouble free than the tsx, but I still love it nevertheless.
