Acura TSX owners, can you give me your impressions so far?

I have had a TSX for a month. I'm pushin 40 but unmarried, so a 4 door is kind of a must, but actual room is not required.



I can afford much more car (TL, CTS, G35, 330, 540). If you have a value-oriented bone in your body (aka cheapskate), the TSX is hands-down the most car for the money.



The handling is TERRIFIC. As is the interior. And unless you are Rodney Racetrack, the power is ample. On the highway it pulls like crazy.



Test drive one!



Oh yeah. Fuel economy is excellent. C/D (who never gets off BWM's jock) top 10. And JD Power IQ survey top entry luxury.



Hard.



To.



Beat.
 
I've owned my Carbon Gray, 6-MT, Navigation, Ebony interior TSX since early Janurary & wouldn't trade it for the world at this point. It's been a supurb vehicle. I have a 20 month old son & there is ample room in the backseat for his car seat & a very generous trunk space. On a recent trip to Orlando (from Tennessee), I observed a 31 mpg average, which is fine with me. The power isn't anything spectacular, but faster than the truck I replaced it with & faster than my wife's '99 Civic Si. On the highway it has really impressed me with the power in the upper-RPM range though. Handling is fairly neutral for a FWD car. I couldn't recommend this car enough & am sure that after a test drive, you'll feel the same. On the note of safety ratings, it has received 5-star all around except for (I believe this is right) a rear side impact (where it received a 4-star rating). So that is something you can sleep easy knowing.:xyxthumbs
 
If safety is key, I wouldn't go with the Altima. The doors felt light as heck when I tried one out and the liightest wind blew them wide open. Was't looking out for that, but there it was. Great engine, mediocre car.
