2012 Acura TSX review and price
With sports sedan styling and performance, the new 2012 Acura TSX seats 5 comfortably and has a range of trim levels that encompass manual and automatic transmissions and satellite navigation. The 2012 TSX is identical to the 2012, with a significant redesign scheduled for 2012. An inline 4-cylinder engine that displaces 2.4 Liters is disappointing at 205 horsepower, but made a little more fun by a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 5-speed automatic.
Generous with the standard features, the TSX comes with 17-inch alloy wheels; halogen headlamps, leather upholstery, AM/FM stereo with 6-disc CD changer, air-conditioning, and a moonroof. The interior is up market, with handsome trim and impressive instrumentation. Comfortable seats all around make this sports sedan a fun family car. An impressive voice-activated DVD-based navigation system is the only option the TSX offers.
The exterior of the TSX is classic Acura, with clean lines, attractive greenhouse, and aggressive grille and headlamps. Safety is impressively addressed with antilock brakes, stability control, front side-impact airbags and side-impact curtain airbags. In every way, the Acura TSX satisfies the requirements to belong in the entry-level luxury sports sedan segment, from standard features to performance.
The 4-cylinder engine has one positive attribute, it is a gas miser, with the automatic 5-speed getting 20 mpg in the city and 28 on the highway. The 6-speed manual achieves 19 mpg city and 28 mpg on the highway. The 2012 Acura TSX behaves every bit as a sports sedan on the road, with excellent cornering, and quiet, sure cruising at high speeds. Owners only wish that the TSX had a bit more low end torque to break off the line and pass a bit more easily.
