This was the last good year of the TSX; perfect styling, not overbloated and heavy like the current car, and great engine and gearbox. Acura needs to stick to their roots instead of just getting bigger and fatter like everyone else's luxury cars.
@kingjim4 go with the tsx. It's k24a2 motor is really popular for tuning and aftermarket parts. The TL Is more of a luxury vehicle, rather than a racing/tuner car.
How the heck is this car slow? Mine is a 2010 Honda civic coupe and it only has 140 horsepower. Cars that are like 70 years old have more power than this!!!
Man, I'm torn between an '07-'08 TSX and an '07-'08 TL... Both awesome cars with great luxury features. I wish I could just buy both!
Acura really F'd up in 2009 and beyond though.. Making pretty much all their models look like ugly space cars. Following the automaker trend, I guess...?
No, 04-08 TSX's DO NOT HAVE ANY IPOD INTEGRATION, it only has aux or xm, but if you want ipod integration, you would need aftermarket.....for example isimple, dice r4 or USAspec
Drove this as a loaner while my 07 TL was being serviced and I was amazed (for lack of a better word) at the way this car drives and handles. Also, the Xenon headlights on this car are far superior looking and offer a lot better illumination then in my TL's. And when it comes to handling curves. FUCKING AMAZING. Blows my TL's handling hands down. I was an idiot for not test driving this car when I was car shopping...if I did I would have purchased it over the TL. The TL is great but too heavy
agreed my brother....the TL is an amzing car especially the generation you have...but if you have a small family or no kids, the tsx is awsome, im currently saving money for one right now. currently i drive an acura 1.7 el. they sell it in canada look it up on google 2001-205 acura 1.7 el
im buying a tsx 1st gen 2004-2008 after i finish school. i have the cash to buy one up to $20,000 but i want the price to go down a bit. i will be getting 6mt, red on tan or whie on tan
@ acuratlnigga: your family probably live in a trailer park or a project because you sound so uneducated and I'm not gonna waste my time with you so please don't forget to get your food stamp and go kill yourself
I don't like the 2009 TSX because of its rims. I also don't like the look and layout of the dash because there are so many buttons as well as a big center knob versus the 2008 model with a more simple layout of a dashboard. Nobody likes a complicated dashboard.
But I somewhat like the front end of the new model. Exterior styling of the previous generation's was a bit conservative-looking.
Love this car and own one. Too bad about the train wreck 2009 redesign. I'll take a pass and wait for the 3rd generation...see you in model year 2014.
I have a 2008 AT. Only 4k miles so far but the car is great. Only knock I have on the car is that the stereo is adequate at best. Add an Ipod to it and it sounds great!

I used to like this car, but now its design has taken away all sporty and luxurious feel this car had and turned it into a Civic. But after all, Acuras are just glorified Hondas.
what the hell are u talkin about, this car is beautiful. It finally has the interior features to compete with cars like the 3 series, c-class and lexus is 250.
Mine is a 2004 and agree with Brandon....nothing is done great but everything is done well. 25mpg on gasoline commuting, 21 mpg on E10 premium. Drive it like a motorcycle rather than a car and then it comes alive. 31,000 miles trouble free.
Had an 06 6mt, and the car has basically gone unchanged since then. A great bang for the buck. Does nothing great but everything well...a great car overall for what it is (a 4 door FWD sedan...)
Does the 2008 TSX have an outside temperature gauge and a compass? Just curious.

i don't like it rims either. nor the dash. 2008 is much better designed. but i wish 2008 had the back-up camera. it's a sweet feature in 2009.

Some aftermarket rims accept the TPMS sensors, another option is just putting the sensors on a wheelbarrow tire in the trunk.

Like the IS250 did to the IS300, the 2009 TSX has moved more towards comfort and luxury over driver involvement.
