The car is responsive and offers good driver feedback on the road. It is far less refined or stylish inside versus the brand-new competition from Lexus and Mercedes-Benz. On the Special Edition, the changes are deeper than expected, including:. Another smart change is the dark headliner, long a trademark upgrade on the BMW 3 series versus the M3. It darkens the mood of the cabin as well as resists stains better than the lighter-colored headliners.

Tech-wise, the TSX packs numerous extras as standard for all models, including: leather seats and a moonroof. Most of these are cost options on competing cars. The nav system is not a touchscreen and is mounted high up on the dash. The key difference between the TSX sedans available are the engine and transmission, as the base and Special edition models are powered by a 2. The V-6 model destroys the four on standard sprint tests by dropping the time from about 8.

There is a major weight penalty for the V-6, however, as it adds nearly pounds of flab under the hood. This is certainly noticeable during fast driving, as the TSX V-6 is much more prone to wheel spin and under-steer.

The V-6 also has a wider turning radius than the four or from other competing sedans. Blame this on the tighter engine compartment. As expected, fuel economy also suffers when moving to the V-6, dropping by 3 mpg in both city and highway tests to 19 city and 28 highway.

Both numbers are near the bottom of their class and ripe for improvement via a more modern automatic with more gears. By designing the car to pass all three types of crash tests, the result is a solid performer across the board.

Based on its overly sporty credentials, the Lexus CTh hatchback is disqualified, as is the BMW i , which comes in coupe form only in the United States. Even the base ISs are rear-drive and handle better than the Acura, despite similar sprint times.
