The TSX’s styling is “pleasant but unremarkable,” and this 3,419-pound, front-wheel-drive sedan is powered by only a 201-hp engine. Yet the car does feature some impressive standard equipment, including power mirrors and moon roof, an anti-skid system, anti-lock brakes, and side and curtain air bags.
U.S. News & World Report
The new TSX rates third among the top five upscale small cars, “based on our analysis of 62 published reviews and test drives.” The luxurious interior comes with a “reasonable price tag.” The four-cylinder engine is dependably fuel-efficient, and the TSX does “very well in government crash tests.” Both a five-speed automatic and a six-speed manual are available.
