Default Acura TSX: Test Drive and Review

Well today me and jessica went over to Hall Acura on Holland RD to see my buddy Tag and to drive the new TSX. The TSX is actually the Accord Type-R in Europe.

The exterior of the car is pretty nice, its got a pretty agressive looking front end and a nice looking back end. Simple design of the taillights with the chrome tiped dual exhaust, very clean looking. Side of the car uses a chrome accent on the door handles and lights in the mirrors for added turnsignals. 17" rims with all wheel disc brakes also look very nice on the vehicle. Overall i like the exterior of the car a lot. looks great for a sporty sedan.

The interior of the car is almost identical to the new ACCORD. The dash is slighty different but overal designed around the same concept. interior features include a 6disk indash changer with 270 watt speakers, auotmatic climate control with dual climate zones for passenger and driver. audio and cruise control buttons on the steering wheel. tilt and telescoping steering wheel, 8 way power adjustment seat with heated seats for passenger and driver. The light colored interior has a light wood trim that to me looks very cheap. ive never seen a wood interior that looked like a really bad plastic. the dark interior has the "stainless steal" trim on the interior that looks great. Its by far my favorite of the interiors. the only option for the car that can be added is navigation. its voice activated and satelite linked, same system in the new ACCORD. overall i love the look and features of the interior, darker is best and navigation is awsome!

Under the hood is a 2.4 liter DOHC IVTEC motor with 200 horses, with an option of 5spd automatic or 6spd manual.

starting price on the vehicle is $26,990 and about 2k more for navigation.

I think this is the perfect car for someone who wants an RSX but needs the space of a honda accord. When i have a kid (no time soon) i think i may have to get rid of the S and into a TSX
