I've basically had a TSX wagon since Sept 2010 - the white one that had a tragic end and the current gray. Together I've put about 70k miles on them.

I've been looking at options (RDX too clunky, Golf Sportwagon no diesel etc.) but I haven't too enthralled with the options.

More importantly, in the last two weeks I've been doing lots of driving, some days in excess of 300 miles and have put about 3200 miles on the car in that time. The more I drive it, the more I like it. Everything works as intended and the nav gets me to the right places. I've been averaging 30+mpg and everything was stress free. A few things I've noticed that are very pleasant. The seats are comfortable , the controls are well placed and the brakes and steering are quite nice. Even the little things are pleasant - the nav operates while moving and the cup holders are in just the right place. BTW, HydroFlask or KleenKanteen fits perfectly (the 18 and 20 oz containers). The pooch is pretty happy in the back even over long distances and the flap on the liner keeps the paws from getting caught in the latch. I can't think of another manufacturer who does that.

BLNUF (bottom line not up front) is that the TSX wagon is pretty decent car and I think I'll be driving it for the next few years.

Yeah, if you require the practicality of a wagon... You're pretty much stuck right now.

I spoke with a neighbor that just settled on an Outback because it was the best-of-the-rest in the current wagon offerings. He was really interested in my "Honda wagon" and was about to get one until I broke his bubble telling him he was about a year too late.

I'm with you; barring a disaster, I'll be in the Wagon for the foreseeable future.

I'm in full agreement with you guys. Sometimes I miss a more powerful engine, sometimes I wish I'd gotten a Subaru for AWD, but by and large, I really like the tsx wagon. I'm only 10 months into owning my 2012, but it's been solid, no issues, drives great, and the cargo capacity for my family is absolutely perfect. The driver's seat destroyed my back for the first month or so but I realized it was because my posture was terrible - the tsx actually fixed that and my back is happier overall for it. My dad has held onto his 1995 Accord wagon for 20 years because he couldn't find a suitable replacement; I don't know if I'll keep the tsx _that_ long, but I wouldn't be surprised if I keep it longer than most of my cars.

I'm feeling similarly about my 2010 TSX sedan, which has 94,000 miles. Due to the numb steering and a few other issues, I've never been completely crazy about it, but my appreciation for its overall excellence has only increased over time. Plus, it's probably one of the last Hondas with a classic normally-aspirated VTEC engine and 6MT, so I may as well enjoy it. The longer I've owned it, the longer I expect to keep it. (Well, at least until the next Civic Si comes out )
