One Year Later Car Review- 2007 Acura TSX

A little over a year ago, I went against my better judgment and waltzed over to West Chester Acura with Grace to look at a 2007 TSX. However, after a 30 minute test drive, we were both in love with the car, and ended up driving home with it.

So after a year and change worth of time, are we still in love with the little black four door with the squared off trunk?

Absolutely.

The TSX makes a perfectly competent commuting car, returning decent fuel economy from its four cylinder engine. It also makes a perfectly competent highway cruiser; noise levels are good, and the seats are plenty comfortable for extended stays. But put it onto a twisty road, and the TSX comes alive. Throw the TSX into a curve, and it responds with reflexes that could easily trick you into thinking the car is a thousand pounds lighter than it really is. No fuss, no drama, the car just goes exactly where you point it, and then chides you to give it a little more on the next run.

Between the motor that stays silky smooth all the way to its 7000 rpm redline, the perfectly dialed-in chassis, and great interior comfort, the car is just plain fun to drive. It's a car that you're happy to get into, day after day. Add to that the decent fuel economy and classic Honda reliability, and you have a formula that pretty much can't lose.
