"Bottom Line:
Acura enhances the appeal of its midrange sports/luxury sedan with many improvements.

Pros:
More power
Racier styling
Added features

Cons:
Lots of shifting needed
Long clutch throw
Narrow rear door openings "

I actually think that should be a pro

Only a 7/10 score? The TSX got a "C" grade? What gives?

An available 5-speed automatic transmission stifles performance a little, but is responsive and allows brisk acceleration.

Here's another little "gem" in the article:

An early 2004 model, the TSX arrived to America as a shorter, narrower version of the Honda Accord sold in Europe and was given more power and equipment for the U.S. market. Major competitors include the Audi A4 and BMW 3-Series.
Homosayswhat? We have a "shorter, narrower version" of a Euro-Accord? LOL...

Reviewers always expect it to rival the BMW which, with options, will probably cost you like $10K more. Horsepower carries too much weight in their reviews a lot of the time.

I wish some TL owners would read this. I honestly don't know how anyone can drive each of these cars like this guy did and not reach the same conclusion.

Each car has its strengths. The TSX's is handling/road feel/steering/gearbox.

Thats because most "drivers" have a "ME PRESS ON GAS!!! ME WANT GO FAST!" mentality...

7? For an entry level "luxury" 4 banger it's a very nice car.

I guess I just glossed over all the "iffy" stuff; blinded by love, you know? I got out of it that he thought it was a fun ride. I don't mind the shifting--that's what makes it fun to drive an MT to begin with!

Poo on the "expert" review... read the user reviews: 9.4/10

That, coupled with Consumer Reports rating of above average reliability (well, duh! It's a Honda), tells me a lot more than anything a self-proclaimed expert has to say.

Thanks for posting the link, Angie.

Three days and counting until mine arrives!

It could be worded better but what he obviously meant is "It's a shorter, narrower version of the USDM Accord, and it's also sold in Europe".
