The Acura TSX is incredibly reliable and stylish. The body style, in particular, looks timeless. The interior is stylish and has tan leather, faux wood grain, and a modern-looking console. The navy exterior looks expensive when it is clean. I drive on a dirt road to work every weekday, and the car has held up very well. In fact, in my six years of ownership it has only been in the shop once for a reason outside of my control. Otherwise, maintenance has been limited to oil changes, inspections, and flat tires. While it is a smaller car, it is not uncomfortable for passengers. The driver's seat is comfortable and has heated cushions. I do dislike that it takes premium fuel, and that it doesn't have a rear camera or navigation. However, the last two features are not common on cars made in 2008. The car is practical for me as an executive, as it looks stylish and well-made. It is also practical from the standpoint that it has a large trunk to hold chairs when my husband and I go to outdoor events, and the back seat folds down to accommodate larger items. To fold the seat down, one must insert the key into a lock in the back seat and that can be frustrating.

I love how compact the Acura TSX is and how it still provides adequate space for all my needs. I have had this car for so many years and it has not failed me once. I feel in control when driving, but not so much that I fear the car is too small to handle. For me, I often worry about parallel parking or parking in general, and this car is of the perfect size for all spaces. I never have any trouble, and it has honestly given me so much confidence with my driving capabilities. It truly is just a great reliable car if you stick with your maintenance routines you can have this car running good as new for a long time, like me!
