Well pulled the trigger!

Got it, only 10 miles on the odometer

2010 TSX platnium with ebony leather. Man its a sweet ride, great service at the dealer.

Anyhow so far I like the handling and its smooth as butter, just slightly tap the pedal and your moving nicely. I noticed the meter goes to 40mpg not too shabby. and the HID lighting is amazing as well.

total interest payments only 354 bucks over 4 years.

That 0.9% is a no brainer. anyhow payments are a nice low 401 dollars a month.

Anyhow the car looks amazing and the amenities are great, I would have to say this TSX is the best bang for the buck in the luxury market.

completely agree! was just having the same conversation with someone at the gas station yesterday who also just bought a new tsx. I'm seeing more and more of these on the roads - looks like people are starting to catch on to what we already know!

Congrats and enjoy!

I did not sleep much waiting for morning to drive it around Anyhow I did a decent mixed test drive of stop and go and semi highway as well. good mix and averaged 32.6mpg for the trip. I like the MPG info. How accurate is that? It seems really good for a 2.4L

The iPod integration is real nice and being able to control it via the steering wheel. It seems they really though out all the ergonomics in terms of control. This auto has lots of nice little details, the auto darkening rear view mirror caught me by surprise, how does that work?

Anyhow the drive is nice, In all honesty I could not tell the steering wheel is electrical and it handles just fine and I can get the feel for where I am going with it. The engine is very smooth and very easy to manage in stop and go + highway It is surprising how well 4 cylinder engines have evolved over the years.

Anyhow this car is the best bang for the buck hands down. Acura did a bang up job with the TSX model. Yeah I am surprised these cars are not flying off the shelf. It is what I would call a Practical luxury automobile.

The fit and finish is very nice quality, how the storage doors open, the feel of the steering wheel material, the perforated leather has a nice quality feel.

The stereo system (this is non tech) is very good, It is pretty warm and the upper and lowers are not over emphasized (no shrillness or too much bass to muddle the mid's) and stereo imaging is quite good.

The pricing is surprising with the yen at 80.1 to the dollar I just do not see how they can sell these cars coming in from Japan with such a strong yen.

Anyhow TSX in a nutshell is probably one of those best kept secrets and falls square into a practical luxury vehicle.

Acura needs to market this vehicle better since it really should be selling much more than it is now.

Yep, it's a great car. This is my second in a row. I was skeptical at first with the 2nd gen body style but then when my lease was up on my 1st gen I could not pass up another TSX. The car has just enough power for what I need to do. Need to get on the highway, no problem at all merging and taking off. I also like the Sportshift with paddles. It's gimmicky but if you know how to use them you can have some fun at times when you want to make a move in traffic. The interior feels more like the more expensive luxury cars. It has a drivers car feel. Overall, you can't beat what you get for the price.
