My daily driver.

We bought 2009 TSX new, but it has been my wife's daily driver. I got to drive on the week-ends and if we took for holidays. Well, we just bought my wife a new 2014 Jeep Cherokee, so I get the TSX. I have to tell you, even after 5 years, this car still puts a smile on my face when ever I get behind the wheel. Such a fun car to drive.

How many miles on your '09 and have you had any problems with it? I just bought a 2010 and hoping to drive it a long time.

We have 82k km[51k miles] with zero problems. Acura Canada had the recall for the rear brake pads[ not sure if Acura America ever did that recall] and we had that done.

I don't abuse it, but I for sure drive it harder than my wife did. I would guess in the month it has been my daily driver, that I have had the sunroof open more than she ever did in 5 years.

I've found that if the sunroof is stopped just before fully opened its much better wind buffeting/noise wise than fully open. Mine is open all the time

I'm not a huge fan of sunroofs as I have seen too many people involuntarily use it as a means of exit. Keep it sealed for the winter and spring months. I do, however, use it occasionally during the summer. Apparently there was another recall in Canada regarding the sunroof as they are prone to rusting/rotting out. There are several local TSXs that had to be repaired due to just that.

I just rolled 100K on my 09 last week, and I gotta agree. Still puts a smile on my face too! Overall, just a fun car to drive.
