Have my 09 for six years this month, over 190,000 km (118,000 miles). Plan to keep it at least 5 more years.

Extremely reliable, and you cannot buy a Tech model with 6MT in Canada after 2010 model year, having too much fun with it on a daily basis, the whole family enjoys the car.

Traded in my 2005 Acura TL with 99,000 miles back in February for a 2011 Acura TSX CPO base sedan, White/Beige that only had 18,000 miles on it. Loving the change to say the least.

Then my fiance just leased a 2014 Lexus IS 250 in Starfire Pearl, and even though I personally think "its a girls car" (only 204hp for RWD and 7.2 0-60), I still drive it whenever I get a chance, its fun lol

Damn you're lucky. You should never get rid of it since you turbo'd it!

Love my 2012 wagon (even tho my gf coined it the faggin...until she drove it)...46k on it and main gripe is after 3 hours of driving my butt hurts.
Wish the seats were more comfortable on long trips. Shorter ones they are fine.

It's classy, practical, and fun to drive. I average 23-24 mpg, a little disappointing. It could use a manual to access the engine's full range; paddles aren't the same, but workable.

I put on a Yakima bike rack and I like that wagons, unlike CUVs/SUVs/minivans, are low enough for that. With the rack on, the TSX Wagon has been mistaken for a Subaru wagon... twice!

For more about my TSX wagon, check out the review I wrote sometime ago:

My 3 year lease is up in October. Even though I have a deposit on a TLX, I have not finalized the numbers. If the numbers don't work I will buy the TSX out of the lease and will keep it for at least 3 more years. I usually don't keep a car any more than 3 years but I like the TSX enough to keep it.

Probably ~4-5 years. Goal is to keep to just 1 car payment at a time, wife needs a new car and the TSX will be paid off soon, so she'll get a car, then when hers gets paid off I'll buy a new car. Unless I get the itch sooner. We'll see...

Got 30K miles on mine so far. Likes are versatility, gas mileage (30-33mpg), ergonomics, turning radius, not seeing 3 just like that at every starbucks. Dislikes: seats for long (4 hours +) trips, low end torque. Will keep it a while longer, until upkeep starts bothering me, which happened at 8-10 years and close to 200K miles with my other cars.

Until the wheels fall off. I wish I'd gotten the wagon, but the sedan is great. The TLX does nothing for me so far.

I will keep my car for a long time. I've owned the car for 4 years now and love every second of it. Our bond gets stronger everyday.

will likely keep my '09 TSX (bought in Dec.'08) until the 2016 RDX comes out. The TSX will then go to the wife.

Bought mine brand new and kept it for a month, hit about 1k miles on the odo. I had planned on keeping it for the long haul but didn't expect to dislike the car as much as I did. The TSX was nice and all, but with each passing day I just cared less and less for it. I used to be a die hard Honda/Acura fan, owning several that were purchased new over the course of 17 years.

UPDATE:
3 months later and now 52k on it. Just did tranny flush and coolant flush.
New tires -- Primacy mxm4 98V
And an alignment.

Feels brand new again.
Probably keep it another 100k
Sitting on a folded up towel is now helping ass fatigue on longer trips

Just bought COO 11 tsx wagon tech pack. This is my 97 accord wagon replacement and I drove accord wagon for 17 years. It's was just getting old (still running strong) so I replaced with tsx wagon. This is my daily so I'm planning to keep her for another 10-15 years just like my accord wagon. Love the new tsx wagon.

Here is my old wagon:
