Consumer Reports / MT Reviews the TSX 09+

"When Acura introduced the TSX, it was widely publicized that the marque's lowest-priced sedan was actually a Euro-spec Honda Accord in Acura duds. Acura shook that stigma when it launched the all-new 2009 edition, and underscores that achievement this year with a 280-bhp V-6 model. Check the V-6 option box and you'll also get model-specific suspension tweaks, upgraded brakes and 18-in wheels. The base TSX, with its 201-bhp 4-cylinder, still thrills with either a 6-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic, and now benefits from enhanced steering feel. In addition to abundant safety features like six airbags and 4-wheel ABS brakes, both models are packed with niceties such as leather seats, power moonroof and navigation" - Consumer Reports




"The TSX is a pleasant and mildy sporty sedan. Its smooth revving engine, slick transmission, and agile handling make it enjoyable to drive. However, vague steering ultimately limits the car's sporting appeal. 25mpg overall is impressive. The taut ride can be busy at low speeds. Road noise remains noticeable, but the cabin is otherwise quiet. Roomier than its predecessor, cabin width is improved but rear seat room remains tight. The supportive front seats are well-shaped. Standard equipment levels are generous and the interior is well-finished. For 2010 the TSX is available with a 3.5-liter V6 " -MotorTrend

Uh...they're practically identical in 2009 as well.
