Hello all. Happy new owner of a Crystal Black/Parchment TSX. Of course I buy right when Honda sales plummet and they seem to be having a hard time finding their way in the face of Ford, Hyundai, and VW now really competing in traditional Honda segments.

Anyway, love the changes for '11. Especially the front end, wheels, and new gear shift surround material.

Coming from Saabs and VWs, I'm used to good handling but also cushy/compliant rides. The TSX seems very "darty" or stiff in comparison. I'm sure I will get used to it (only 300 miles on it) and/or it will loosen up. I also reduced dealer set tire pressure to Honda spec'd 33 all around. However, at anything over 60 I hear (maybe slightly "feel") tire vibrations/roar and if I need to do any braking from that speed, a slight vibration in the brake pedal. If I do it from 50 or speeds lower, its smooth sailing.

Am I looking at the classic Acura/Honda brake problems already, or is the TSX known for being generally less isolated? When I read long-term reviews everyone loves it, but I think maybe they were Honda fans from the start where I am just now trying again.

Thanks for any feedback!

 

welcome from the proud owner of a 06 tsx. Owned a 05 honda civic ex-se. Traded it for the tsx. The civic was a P.O.S. lots of annoying problems. It had just over 36,000 Miles when traded (end of warranty). Recently had the tsx serviced. The back brakes will be needing replacing in the near future (not immediately). They are the originals with 124,000+ miles. We have owned numerous hyundais=no problems with them (knock-on-wood)
