2008 Acura TSX 5-Spd AT

Pros

Value, fuel economy, fit & finish, and style

Cons

None with this car

I've owned 4 Hondas over the past 20 years, so I new what I was getting into ......... a great car. I planned on purchasing a 2008 Honda Accord, but after months of research and speaking to a Honda salesman for a month, I happened to walk next door to the Acura dealership one evening (same owner) to check out the 2008 Acura TSX. I couldn't beleive all the equipment that comes standard on the vehicle ! Including side-curtain air bags, which cost extra on most cars today.
This car is the perfect size, color, (pearl green) and price. I was amazed that a car was still maufactured with this quality for the price. The interior is a beautiful tan leather, whith just enough wood tone accents, without looking cheap, like so many others.
The ride is nice and tight (sports sedan), but that relates to the whole car ........ solid.
Yes, this vehicle suggest using premium fuel, although you can use regular, but the gas mileage and performance will not be as good. My car got 32 mpg. on the highway last week, and it's brand new, so the vehicle is not even broken in yet ! City mpg. is aroung 27-28 ..... and the resale price of this vehicle is at the top. That's one one of the main reasons I chose Acura/Honda.......... you get money in return. Cars today are round pods, but the TSX has actual corners !
