The Acura TSX is The Best Luxury Car for Under $5000. And I bought one.

I've driven/owned an RX-8, G35, 350Z, WRX, and TSX. Even though the TSX isn't the fastest car, there's something about it that makes it one of my favorite. The design and profile is just beautiful and timeless. I have an 08 TSX with 40k miles, garage queen and people always mistake it for a 2015 or newer. Honda/Acura really did an amazing job with the design.

its a beautifully design vehicle, even looks better than some of the newer generation vehicles on the road today

Great video. I just bought an 05 TSX with only 97k miles on it and the way you talk about it makes me appreciate it even more

I bought my my niece's car a 2007 tsx. I absolutely love it has 175,000 miles, gets great gas mileage not to happy about having to put premium gas in. Great car I will be driving it for a good while.

Great video 🔥

Smart move man, an '07 is the best year for tuning I have one too ! Take care of her brother ! I'm keeping mine stock exept for a K&N drop in filter and looking to buy another to tune !

I got an 05 TSX 5AT in silver with 144k miles for my first car and I've had it for over a year now. Absolutely love it! It handles amazing around turns even with snow tores and so far the only issue I had was the alternator, as it went out after a couple weeks of getting it. Other than that, with how much I beat on this car it's held up perfectly so far. I love how the car looks but I'm starting to do some cosmetic mods to get it to look how I want it to. It's also in need of some body work and it's started to rust on the rear quarter, since I live in Minnesota salt and snow does a number on cars here. The rear quarter is very commonly where rust starts on these cars, and same with the Acura TLs if I'm correct. So I'll be fixing that this spring. Also looking into a Yonaka catback exhaust so it sounds nice without being raspy and loud, and still looking nice. Thinking about some enkei RPF1s to pair with my summer tires so I can have the stock, curb rashed wheels for my snow tires and the nice wheels for the summer. My only complaint about the car is I wish mine had the 6 speed manual, since with my adhd I always find myself using manual mode and I've heard that's not great on the transmission. But then again, that'd be a good excuse to swap 5AT for a 6MT. I also think the stock ride height is a little too high for my liking so I'd like to get it lowered about an inch and a half. Thanks for making this video!

I am an owner of a 2006 TSX with Navi and a 6 speed manual. I still love it to this day after several years of ownership and I look forward to few moderate mods like getting coils on all 4 wheels for improved handling.

I am driving 2006 TSX with 165000km in Canada. This car is very reliable and very fun to drive with manual transmission. I am the third owner of this car. The second owner had it for 1 year and sold it to me at 140,000 km 3 years ago

Terrific video sir. I have on 06 TL. I’ve gotten hell for not always using premium. I’ve usually used 87 octane and no noticeable difference. The car does have electronics to adjust for lower octane fuel. I have no ping, no check engine lights. I do however use top tier gas. Although in California the base gas is all the same. It’s the detergent package added that separates the brands. Thanks

Honda/acura was ahead of their time when they created the TSX. Still looks modern till this day!

I drove old Integras for 14 years then finally bought a 06 TSX 6 speed with 104k on it. A few light mods. I have put 30k on it so far and can’t wait to put a couple hundred thousand 😅 worst part is the rust for me but I live in a road salt area. I’ve replaced the original front end parts and little stuff like a coil pack and the app sensor. It seems to maintain the build quality of the 90s Hondas. It’s the perfect mix of sport and luxury to me.

Beautiful review. Let me know when you want to sell it. I have a rebuilt k24 engine ready to go in it if needed. Funny how I purchased my previous MR2 Turbo and current WRX in San Diego. It’s a sign.

Yes I have a 2009 and I use the gas that's suppose to go in it and it runs great 😅

Good review 👍

I purchased a brand new CGP w/ Graystone 06 TSX Navi 5AT with Aspec package (later added Progress RSB, F/R adjustable camber kit, and fastline rear powerlink endlinks from HeelToe Automotive). Had many trouble free driving years before handing down to our son for his H.S. and college car in 2014-2019. Had the usual age related issues at +140,000 miles of A/C compressor, P/S pump/rack leaks, alternator, condenser fan, and faded paint (zero issues with 2.4L or 5AT). It would still be on the road today with +200,000 miles if it wasn't totaled by a red light runner in 2019.

Being it's a Honda product it's most likely Not the end of it's lifespan like you've said in this and another video. That K24 engine is known for reliability and can run 300-500 thousand miles if taken care of. I'd keep the TSX

I saw this video late, but I hope you picked the Acura!!! ❤

Best car I ever owned. I really miss it!

Hey mate. That car will last forever!
