Acura is well known for its high quality luxurious yet sporty vehicles and the TSX is a prime example of that. For 2010 the TSX is back with a more defined and updated front grille plus it will be available for the first time with a more powerful V6 engine. This plush four door sedan has a sophisticated appearance boasting clean and sharp lines. The flared fenders and xenon headlights bolsters the vehicle’s aggressive and daring physique. This vehicle comes in two trims; the TSX base model and the TSX V6. The base model comes with 17″ alloy wheels while the V6 sports a bolder set of 18″ wheels. The TSX is a compact vehicle that includes a myriad of premium amenities and value for its price.

Automotive shoppers have the choice of selecting from two different engines, a V4 and V6. The V4 engine is a 2.4 Liter with 201 HP while the V6 puts out 280 hp and 254 lb feet of torque. The V4 engine gets 21 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the freeway while the V6 receives 18 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the freeway. The V6 goes from 0-60 in just 5.9 seconds.

The interior is luxurious and sophisticated and sports metallic accents throughout. Standard options on every model include a climate control system, perforated seats appointed in fine leather, heated front seats plus a 7-speaker surround system with 360 watts of sound and a USB audio interface for compatibility with your favorite music players. The driver’s seat offers solid lumbar support and 8-way power adjustments. All models come with a power moon roof, heated mirrors and an anti theft system.

As far as options, the Technology Package can be purchased which consists of a 415 watt surround system with a 6-disc CD changer, a rearview camera, a voice activated navigation system which provides real time traffic and weather updates along with restaurant reviews and a climate control system that is GPS linked and maintains the interior temperature to correspond with the sun’s position.

As you would expect from Acura, the TSX has been loaded with advanced safety features. The Advanced Compatibility Engineering structure works to distribute crash force more evenly in case of an accident. The Electronic Brake Distribution corrects the pressure exerted on the brakes as necessary while the Anti Lock Braking System aids to help avoid the wheels from locking. An advanced air bag system is in place which utilizes the Occupant Position Detection System in order to prevent the bags from being activated if a smaller statured individual or child is seated in order to minimize injury. Seatbelts automatically tension during impact and active head restraints are in place.

The cost starts at around $29k which is a fair price for such a gorgeous car with lots of luxurious amenities. This would be the ideal vehicle for someone looking for an athletic ride with lots of nice extras like heated seats and a sweet premium sound system.
