"Amazing Car...fun to drive!!!"
Pros: DVD Navigation, Voice driven controls, heated seats, Bluetooth
Cons: Premium gas only
Summary: * The LG8100 Bluetooth phone works extremely well, despite Accura's website compatability chart
* For me: MPG under normal driving conditions: 22mpg
* DVD Navigation does not contain listings for recently opened restaurants
* Rearview mirror auto dim works well with a greenish hue
* Headlights are high intensity, park next to a white wall and see a flat line of light, most impressive for night vision assistance
* All four windows can be remotely powered down by holding the unlock button
* Key fobs will auto adjust seats based on driver past input settings
* Airbags deploy out of front seats, seat covers will need to be chosen critically
* Aux input jack found conviently in center console arm rest along with a 12v power outlet
* Security system pre loaded to disuade intruder entry
* Trunk will auto open by holding trunk open remote selection
* XM radio free for 3 months appropriately cancels after trial period. No action necessary
* Air temperature for passenger and driver can be driven by voice prompt to computer after depressing steering wheel button. Most convienent when driver/passenger disagree on how cold/hot the cabin should be!
* On board computer monitors oil/coolant/air filtration system and alerts when a change is needed. Oil status can be seen in a percentage remaining rating on console by pressing the info button on steering wheel.
All and all, the Acura TSX has spoiled me to view all other cars in it's price range to be unsatisfactory. For the money I found no better choice.Updated
I have had this car for approximately a year now. My opinion has not changed. I love the way the car handles in corners and the acceleration I have available when needed. I truly am spoiled with what a car should feel like. With that in perspective I do have one issue. (sorry to say) The seatbelt mechanisms on both passenger and driver side rattle at times. It can be corrected by tapping on the side panel, but yet who wants to do that and interupt the wonderful drive. My commute no longer seems caustic and my day begins/ends with a high note. If a decision is between this and another vehicle my opinion still remains to choose a TSX.

but I was in the same position, just not looking for all the amenities and the Volkswagen Jetta GLI was just such a more engaging ride. It really does show it's European pedigree when driving spirited, and the turbocharged direct-injected engine has torque everywhere and still gives me about 26-30 mpg. Cheers, enjoy your car.
