Well, I have been a longtime lurker here. I am finally getting my White/Parchment Tech TSX tomorrow. I know there have been a few things with the seat leather coming off, and other 1st year things.. Is there anything I should look for to make sure my car doesnt have TSX specific issues?

Been lurking here since the 2nd gen was announced and I cant wait for tomorrow afternoon!

 

congrats man! you will love the car. As for any problems, my car has been great to me so far

 

Congrats, let us know, I just got mine MOnday

 

Depending on the build date of your car, most of the little problems should be fixed. I wouldn't worry too much.

 

WOO HOO. I picked it up this afternoon and promptly got stuck in traffic getting home.. but i didnt care because I had a lot to play with!

 

Look for a great experience in driving it. My biggest concern was the rear parcel shelf crackling noise, and that is now fixed. Others have had problems with speakers getting blown. One other word of caution, the roof/trunk sheet metal is very thin, don't park under trees, If there is a forecast for hail, find another ride and leave it in the garage.

 

Lol, I wish I got to park in the garage. My car lives in the driveway, parked under two big trees.

 

Make sure they are not oak trees that drop small acorns. It cost me $450 to repair the dents - of which I parked 5 other cars under and never had an issue.

 

nope not oaks. that would suck. whats even worse is the bf could have like a 10 car garage and would still make me park outside. 2 car garage is currently taken by his audi and 68 camaro

 

Maybe you could "coax" him to put the camaro in a nearby rented garage, especially if he does not drive it freqently. Somehow woman have a way to get what they want, at least mine of 29 years does, and I am not complaining!

 

A few things i have found so far on my 3 day old TSX:

1. Memory seat is ONLY for the driver's seat...no memory on the outside mirrors.

2. There is a noise when turning the steering wheel.

3. When you get home, check your tire pressures after letting it sit for a few hours. Most dealers overinflate the tires.

The memory issue is a minor one and i can understand Acura's "cost-cutting" on it to keep cost low...my wife and I can live with it. Anyway, the seat adjustment is the most important.

The steering wheel noise will be looked at next week when they will install my window tint.

Otherwise, this is a fantastic car!! We both love it!

 

Just so you know the electric power steering does make some noise while you're turning it. I've had 2 other cars that had electric steering (different brands) and they both did the same thing.

 

Acura overinflates the tires, not the dealers.

 

The steering wheel noise is the clockspring (a ribbon cable round around a housing around your steering shaft that carries the power/info to your airbag/steering wheel). If you really have to listen to it, leave it alone, if it is loud, take it to the dealer to be replaced

 

Ahhh...thanks guys.

 

When it comes to garage space, i do not get what i want. Besides the garage is a little tight for two cars, i would not feel comfortable trying to squeeze my car in there with his, my depth perception is not always the best.
