"Overpriced Honda"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Sound proofing was not installed at the factory in the passenger door. This caused a hollow gong type of noise when the door was shut. Sound proofing was installed by the dealer and noise is gone.

The door panel was damaged by the dealer when they installed the missing sound proofing. Dealer replaced the door panel.

Driver side window regulator failed. Dealer replaced the regulator.

General comments?

The TSX is pretty slow in accelerating.

City gas mileage is terrible for a 4 cylinder engine, maybe 20mpg if you are lucky.

Premium fuel recommended.

Dealership kisses your butt when in for service. It seems like they are very concerned about you giving them a good review of their service.

For the price of this car, I feel the fit and finish should be of a higher quality.

Honda 4 cylinder engines are much better suited to manual transmissions due to their "revvy" nature. Due to the amount of power automatics chew up they are best suited to larger 6 cylinders. The Manual transmission transforms this car, but the automatic gives a very average return.

As to the fit and finish, it's due mainly to feature creep I'm sure, in trying to compete they've added features you really don't need like EBD and Brake Assist, and to keep costs down they've had to cut corners somewhere. Judging by what's on the market at the moment, all car manufacturers seem to be going cheap on the interiors.

You have one of the best car sold today, and you're complaining?

Like the first post said, you should have gotten a manual, the TSX is a driver's car with razor sharp handling.. if you want low noise and a numb driving experience, get yourself a Buick.
