2010 Acura TSX User Reviews

Pros

Good fuel economy, good sporty suspension, quality materials.

Cons

Could do with better acceleration, tire grip, nose-heavy, fixing a small dent hits the wallet hard.

Purchased As New

Overall, it's excellent. The 4-star rating for appearance is because the car could do with slightly wider wheels, which I think the V6 version did to match the power of the engine. When turning hard around corners, the nose is heavy (like any other front-wheel drive vehicle) and tire squeal is noticeable, but it's still nippy and agile. Acceleration from 0-60 mph when I tried was around 7.5-7.9 seconds with the paddle shifters and the power really kicks in around 3k-4k rpm. As for the repair costs, I had a small dent on my car and to fix it, the estimate came up to more than $2k.

But like I said, the car is excellent overall. :D...read morehide

Pros

Silky Smooth V6 and lot of Power!

Cons

None!

Purchased As New

I have a 2006 Non Tech. and loved it, but it lacked the Power I needed , Just bought the 2010 TSX V6 non-Tech. yesterday with 10 miles on it for $29,995 V6 2010 TSX and I am loving it,Sales personnel were very nice and Professional. It is what Acura Should have done long time ago! I Have had no problems with my 2006 and it runs great. Has 60,000 miles and runs like New. My 2006 just lacked in power, but now in the 2010 it makes up for those 4 years what I have been missing. This V6 is GREAT on Gas , it beats my 4 banger in my 2006. I got 29 back from LA where as my 06 TSX only best at 28 and would struggle. Hope I can get that 32-34 that someone else mentioned here on the V6. Looking to enjoy this car for many years!...read morehide

Pros

Great power, and great fuel economy

Cons

Need the driver memeory function to also adjust outside mirrors

Purchased As New

Great car, the larger version compared to the past just sets it apart. The V6 is smooth, and the noise cancellation system works well!
Pretty impressed with the fuel economy as long as you keep your foot out of it. The car is just full of features. The larger size is just perfect. Can't say enough good things about it! The handing is excellent, and the ride is something I would expect form a sports sedan. Paddle shifters work well.!...read morehide

Pros

nice acceleration good sporty feel nice sound system

Cons

not a lot of back seat space

Purchased As New

Enjoy having the speed and acceleration when you want it. Have had no issues with it in a year. Can't notice any additional road or engine noise because the sound system is so good. Good gas milage even with the V6.

Pros

Plenty of options, good fuel economy, sporty to drive

Cons

Rides very hard, back brakes gone after 18k mi!, molding falling off

Purchased As New

I've had several Hondas and finally decided to step up to Acura, what a mistake. I bought this car new and have had issues. Exterior molding kept coming lose and the dealer tried fixing it 4x and finally Acura came out with a new part after 2 years. At 15K mi my brakes started to sqeek and pulse. Dealer said all the pads were faulty and the fronts were cover under warranty but the backs weren't. Cost me $390 bucks to replace the back brakes! I soon found out there was a class action lawsuit against Acura for the rear brakes which they settled but only paying 50% of the cost! Acura should stand behind their product and replace them at no cost. The best was as the dealer is the front and rear breaks they tried to charge me for rotating the tires. Didn't they have to take the tires off to fix the brakes? No happy with the dealer. I'm not too happy with this car or Acura so far.

Check out some of the TSX blogs and you'll see several buyers with the same issues....read morehide

Pros

Reliable, comfortable, good looking

Cons

nothing after two and a half years

Purchased As Used

It's my first luxury sedan purchase. I was considering a BMW 3 series and am glad I purchased the TSX. BMWs seem to always be in the shop for small, annoying repairs. The TSX is not too quiet on the road, but the sound system makes up for it. My navigation package is adequate, would like it better if it was "smart" with accident and road condition information. I use the local dealer for maintenance and repairs, all of it affordable without high pressure push ups. This won't be my last Acura...read morehide

Pros

quick on the pick up, seat heaters, easy on gas, integrated bluetooth, FUN,

Cons

stiff ride, crappy dealer.

Purchased As Used

I've only ever owned Acuras, but upgraded from a 2000 Integra.

What a difference! Acura sells on the basis that you already have everything you need in a luxury vehicle so you don't have to worry about many add-ons. I miss my stick shift, but now I have a real backseat for my dogs and plenty of cargo space (comparatively speaking). The stock leather cleans up nicely as well.

The ride's a little stiff (true) but it's a sporty car, so the trade off is a less flexible chassis to get the handling. That's just the way it is, so do your homework....read morehide

Pros

Sporty...Nice Inside

Cons

FIRM RIDE and NOISY

Purchased As Not Purchased

I just bought a 2011 Hyundai Sonata, my Wifes MDX was in for service so she wanted the Sonata and I ended up with this TSX. I will take my Sonata anytime. Ride is Harsh, Noisy inside. Too many creaks and rattles for a car with 3k miles on it. Buy the Sonata and use the extra 10k for something else........read morehide

Pros

Good Quality

Cons

Very rough ride, not enough front +rear legroom

Purchased As New

This is my followup review. I have had this car for 1.5 years and would not lease it again. Positives: sporty, handles very well, decent fuel economy, reliability, heat + a/c, heated seats and abundant tech features. Negatives: not ideal for NYC driving-you feel every bump!, outside noise constantly intrudes, legroom is insufficient front and rear, small trunk, no interior gas tank release, did I mention the firm ride!
Bottom Line-It is a good, reliable car, but not for me. If ride comfort is the least bit of an issue this car is not the correct choice....read morehide

Pros

Love the look, All the standard features, excellent on gas, reasonable price

Cons

small back seat - but I'm the only one in the car so that doesn't really matter!

Purchased As New

I love this car! It comes with all sorts of standard features you would pay extra for in a different car in it's class. They pay attention to the details and seem to have used all top quality materials. For example - I went from a Saab to this TSX and I notice that the Xenon headlights are much brighter and the leather is softer. It has also been nice not having to fill my tank in two weeks! Acura was also the most reasonable when it came to the price in the end....read morehide
