Very nice, but expensive to maintain.

It's a great car. After 6 year of owning it, everything remains in good shape except for the leather. I started noticing deterioration 2 years ago.

First Acura I’ve owned

This car is rare and most have over 100k miles. The one I purchased has 57k mikes for a 2012 and was dealer serviced. Well maintained. So far I’m very happy, it’s comfortable, fun to drive, like the versatility of a wagon. Looking forward to driving it for many yeara

Love this car

I've never had a problem with an Acura, I owned my last one for 13 years with not one problem. I wish there was a little bit more legroom in the back seat area but other than that I have no complaints.

Practical yet stylish

We absolutely love this car! It is the sport wagon version of the TSX and it has great performance as well as super spacious for being a sport car. We love the style of the outside and the inside is very sleek and comfortable. It has lots of ports for different options for listening to music or connecting a device all hidden from the initia view but still easy to find and manage. We are very pleased and happy with our purchase.

Best Car I?ve Ever Owned

I absolutely love my Acura! Best purchase I?ve ever made. The car is classy but sporty. I feel like a million bucks when I drive it. It?s a 4 cylinder but has power like a 6 cylinder. Interior is gorgeous and has few extra features I?m impressed with. Definitely recommend this car.

Most dependable vehicle/Low Maintenance

This vehicle is very dependable considering getting a luxury sedan in a lower price and low maintenance range. I have yet to see an Acura with Engine/Transmission problems, which I have not seen myself. They drive real smooth if maintained very well. Never seen an Acura break down on the road either. Just keep oil changes and regular maintenance on time.

It's True. Acuras don't brake and don't fade.

I was always surprised to see Acuras on the road in really good exterior condition. It's hard to see them with fading paint, worn parts or anything that makes them look old. Honestly, I've seen other 5 yr old brands looking like a 12 year old Acura out there. One day, back in 2010 I bought my TL and a year later, bought the TSX for my wife. The engines are sensational, which is something people don't get. They usually say there's more powerful cars out there..except that no ones notice that the power that Honda engines give you are always there, for many thousands of miles without showing age. But hey, go get a 330HP car out there and see if it lasts enough to hold your investment and still serve someone really well when you sell it. I am yet to see any brand do that that better than Hondas and Toyotas. The important thing is: in the past 6 or so years owning these cars, I've spent nothing more than fuel, tires and brakes.

Most reliable and comfortable car I owned.

I think it's the last of its kind and we probably won't see a car that great ever again. When I took it for an oil change even employees said that model gave the least problems.
