2006 Acura TSX 6MT w/ navi review from North America

I have had this car for 2 years now. My previous car was an Audi A4 (2003). The contrast between my Audi and the TSX in terms of problems is amazing. My Audi (which I liked a lot for its design and driver feel) had so many mechanical problems before 30K that it is hard for me to justify ever going back to Audi. From mold in the AC to airbag problems, a fuel pump that left me stranded, to alignment problems and continual burned out headlights, taillights and an audio system with intermittent problems (it seemed possessed), the Audi spent a significant amount of time in the shop. Dealer service was poor. By contrast, my TSX after 2 years and nearly 40,000 miles has had ZERO problems! It has and continues to perform flawlessly (knock on wood). I am very impressed with the (Japan built) fit and finish of the car and of course its reliability. Unlike others on here who did not like the navigation system, I have found it to perform very well. I would recommend this car.

Overall, this is a capable, sporty car with great MPG. (30 highway) However, the factory Michelins do not handle that well in rain. My Audi did feel more confident in rain/snow, as it was all wheel drive. For me though, the TSX's reliability and quality is more important.
