Acura TSX

Based on the Euro-market Accord, the TSX fills the niche between Acura’s smaller Civic-based ILX and larger U.S. Accord-based TL. It’s a bit roomier and more fun to drive than the former while offering a wagon body style that’s not available on the latter—or any other Acura. The sedan’s 2.4-liter four-cylinder can be linked to a six-speed manual or five-speed sequential shift automatic. Stepping up to the available 3.5-liter V-6 boosts performance yet pushes the TSX into TL’s price territory.
