:) Well I received my new TSX last Wednesday. My Wife will be principally driving it. I must say I really like it. It accelerates very well, especially since it is the manual. It is a very quiet car for a 4 cylinder, and the doors close with a quality thunk that my MDX does not have. The fit and finish is excellent and the seat grips my 240 lb, 6'4" frame, and I am very conforatable in the car, mind you the headroom could be better. The more I see the car the better I like it. The stereo system, which is the high end unit sounds fabulous, especially XM, and cd's and even FM. I never thought I would, but I will likely subscribe to XM as the sound is amazing.
The car grips the road, and I will tell you, once you figure out all the buttons, they are very easy to use. I know a lot of people complain about the non-touch screen Nav system, but I like this system, and I am used to the touch screen with my MDX.
This car is very solid and it appears Acura is taking a serious run at BMW, for a lot less money. This is a drivers car, and I love the manual shifter. And the gas mileage is great. I suggest that a 6 cylinder in this car is not warranted. Perhaps a deisel.
One odd thing, there is no remote gas door opener. You must push on the gas door when the car doors are unlocked, and it pops open. It will not open if the doors are locked. I do not like this.
I love the one touch sunoof.
There is a ton of techy things on this car which I just love and am still learning about.
I find there are some bad blind spots.
Great car so far.
