TOV 2009 TSX First Drive

It certainly sounds to me like Acura forgot about the driving enthusiasts on this one and really geared the car towards the luxury set. I hope the uprated motor they are hinting at also includes brand new steering tuning because without the excellent steering feedback, there really is no reason to get this car.

However, I will admit that it sounds like the new iPod integration features are pretty cool.

I keep reading mixed reviews on the driving experience. Some mags say it's the same as it was, some say it's been lost. I think we all need to drive the car for ourselves to see.

I know this has been said before, but at the new center stack layout. It looks as unnecessarily busy as the 2008 Accords.

I like the fact that the 1st gen was simple and ergonomically well laid out. There are just too many "small" buttons on the new dash.
