I saw an Acura TSX on the road this afternoon. My first impression was “overpriced Civic.” Turns out that it’s built on the Accord platform. It’s tiny though.
After checking out the Acura TSX website, the 200 horsepower inline 4, available 6-speed manual tranny, and 17 inch rims almost justify the $28,000 pricetag. Almost.
For the record, you can get a Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V with a 175 horse I4 for $10,000 less. A Jetta GLI with a 200 horse V6 is about $5,000 less.
