2005 Acura TSX review from North America
"The TSX is a great car for the right price!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
For a short time, the left turn signal would not shut off automatically when the wheel was turned back. The problem has corrected itself.
General comments?
We bought this car to replace a 2002 Volkswagen Passat that we loved, but we could not find another Passat as there is a new model coming soon. However, our cars are leased, so we needed a new one right away.
We looked at the Subaru Legacy GT, the Chrysler 300, and the Acura TSX and TL.
The TSX was the best deal by far - most standard features, plenty of power, and excellent fuel economy (22/31). We absolutely love the XM radio, which is also standard.
