Ah! Finally! A quality review that isn’t that one that comes up when you search Acura TSX where it has the thumbnail “The Worst Performance Car” and then the entire review he talks about how good it is 🤷‍♂️. Glad it’s getting some love finally!!

Currently own an 06', best car out of the 8 I have owned so far..

Such a great car! Reliable, sporty and modestly luxury.

I have a 2005 manual TSX! Great car and at 150,000 miles, its still running great.

I love my 2004 TSX. I am a courier with a 225 mile route three times a week. I’ve owned it 5 years and it is the most maintenance free car I’ve owned in my 43 years of driving. Oil changes, tires, brake pads, transmission power flush, radiator flush and new spark plugs and coils is all I’ve needed to do. Back country roads are not a problem and consistently get 31 mpg even with spirited highway driving. Acura hit a home run with this build. Great video of this awesome little daily driver.

I bet it didn’t take long to sell. 6MT TSXs are understandably desirable and not too common - in my area, at least. Cars from the ‘90s and ‘00s really “hit the spot”. Just enough tech, just enough safety features, just enough efficiency and plenty of personality and character that an enthusiast could fall in love with. The TSX was no exception.

Love this cars they are PERFORMANCE AND COMFORT mix together. I had one for few years and never give me headaches just smiles and joy I really recommend this car.

oh man coming down from 14 civic SI, this makes me appreciate my 05 TSX even more. got mine last month 6 speed with about 168K miles on it for 4200. all it need was a new clutch and fluid change.

Best review of the TSX I've seen on KZfaq. A bit underrated and needs to be seen by more people, and you deserve this Like.

Recently picked up a 06' TSX in pearl white with 157k miles, clean title. It's an automatic, and I paid a total of $1,800 after paying for registration and insurance. I absolutely love this car, it has such a timeless design and its aged really well in my opinion.

This review was actually really well done and accurate. I just bought an 06 as my first car for $1500 off my neighbor. Seems to be the best decision I ever made, I love the car! It has just the right performance for my liking, handles like a beast, and it’s reliable. Also can’t forget it’s a Honda, so low insurance cost is there, even for me, just getting my license, it’s pretty affordable on one of these!! Edit: only cosmetic mods in my opinion it really needs it is a black roof wrap and a set of Enkei Icon wheels!! Specs are Premium Pearl White paint, A-Spec Spoiler and Split 5-spoke factory rims (two are bent from previous owner, which is the reason for needing to buy new ones)

This video makes me so happy I own a 2006 6MT still love it’s timeless styling and fun performance. I still think it is such a handsome car everytime I look at it !!

Wow, this is one of the cleanest 1st gen interiors I have seen on KZfaq. I have an 05 myself and it doesn’t look near this good,

Best car I’ve ever owned super reliable and fun to drive everytime I get in it

Awesome video. I too have a TSX and love it. Everything you said is bang on.

Just picked up a 2007! Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Just got one for my 18th birthday I love it

I love my CL7 Euro R. I was about to buy a CL7 Type S but I got lucky and saw a clean Euro R in my city.

What a great review. Checking out the TSX manual for my son's first car, this video was very informative.

QUALITY REVIEW wow dude seriously what a good ass video. I’m super impressed and might buy one as a daily

Amazing review, keep up the great work 🔥

Super quality review! Thanks!

This is actually a quality review of a Honda/ Acura. They do indeed make great cars. I myself on a CL7 2 litre Honda Accord variant of this car in the UK and absolutely love it! its not the fastest thing in the world with only 155bhp and a 5 speed manual, but it cruises so nice and is lovely and comfortable, I'd have another one though.

WOW!!😳 What an EXCELLENT video!! Thank you for such a informative channel and well done presentation! 🙏

Love this! Always wanted a 04-08 TSX as I currently own a 04 Acura TL but now I’m looking at a 2nd gen TSX!

Just bought an Automatic 04 with 113k miles and Absolutely Love it!!

Great review!

love my TSX, gonna film a walkaround of mine later today

Awesome video review. This was really useful. I just picked up an 08 TSX with 48K miles from a 94 year old lady. I LOVE it and can't wait to start modding.

I've got an 08 Silver TSX. Absolutely love this car. Great value for the money and just a great looking car, really timeless. Everytime I wash and clean the thing I'm reminded how much of a great machine it is. I liken to a high quality precision watch that isn't ridiculously expensive. Like a Tissot or high quality Seiko. I recently changed the lower control arms and struts/springs. Went with KYB and Tein 1 inch lowering springs. Great ride quality and proper stock ride height.

Very nice. My "fun car" is a 2012 Accord 6-6 coupe, but I have been looking at these and the 1st gen TLs to replace my old 2000 Camry from daily driver duty. Great video.

Subbed as I’m getting ready to buy one

This is the one I'm looking for..

Got mine in March of 2019 with 177,700 miles and as of right now it runs great the only thing I replaced is the battery and wheel bearings it’s an all around nice car and very reliable

Yes best car I've had so far. 06 cl9 with bolt ons and reflash. Awesome daily.

How hp was rated was changed for the +06 TSX compared to how hp was rated for the 04-05 models. The +06 2.4L engine improvement up the hp to 205. The 200hp 04-05 TSX was rated at 192-195 hp whe the new measurement was applied. You can feel the hp differences on the butt dyno if you drive a 04/05 TSX back-to-back with a 06/08.

This video sold me on the tsx… hopefully I can get my hands on a well maintained model.

Love your car. I'm currently building 07 that is black on black 6speed like yours. I can't wait to get it finished!!!

Excellent video

Finally a great Tsx review. I own a 04 Tsx 6spd manual and I'm never selling it!!

awesome review

your awesome bro i learned so much

Great Video. 💯💪🏾

Currently driving 04 Tsx. My favorite DD car. My 2nd Tsx owned.

I remember seeing this for sale on the tsx forum on fb. You sir, know how to care for a vehicle.

Fire bro!!!

9:31 I did not expect that sound effect lmao

Thats interesting. In my country, finland we have the wagon and sedan honda accord. You can get them with k20, k24 or 2,2dtci. And also the interior here is completely different. Nice car!

I've been using regular 87 in my 04 TSX for 4 1/2 years

I got a 07 TSX , makes a great daily driver.

Those wheels look great!

*I used your clear coat headlight instructions for my TSX and came out great*. Purchased my 2005 TSX in 2009... 11 years ago. It is built proof, engine and transmission oil laboratory results show that both are in good shape and have low amounts of wear. Current mileage is 155,000 mixed city and highway. Current upgrades are Bilstein shocks, 21mm rear swayer, subframe connectors, Z rated performance tires, Akebono break pads and centric rotors. . Handling is exceptional.Handling exceeds the oil pump system as it can pull enough G force to shove the oil away from the oil pick up... I'm religious on maintenance though also. Overkill to most. But I plan on keeping this car at least a total of 20 years.

I had an 04 and it was super reliable only once not starting due to a dead battery. My TSX always got complements. Unfortunately, it was totaled due to someone running a stop sign. I couldn't buy another due to how expensive they were and for the poor condition they were in. I ended buying a German car after and never again. It constantly had problems I had to fix. I guess the best part of that car was that I learned to work on my car. Got rid of it after a few years. Now I've owned an ILX for a few years which is like the spiritual successor to the TXS.

I’m hoping to find a nice 07 or 08 when I sell and upgrade from my 8th gen civic in the next year or 2, love my civic but I am so ready for a luxury/performance car that still keeps you in the Honda family of quality !

Cheers for the review! I feel lucky to have found my Royal Blue TSX (2006) with a 6-speed gearbox! My only complaint is that the gear shifter knob is undersized and underwhelming, so I’m going to replace that.

Great review! And did you installed rear camber kit when you lowered it? Also what was the off set of your bbs? Did it rub?

Man, I woulda cried selling that TSX. I just bought a 2007 a couple years ago with Nav and the 5-speed auto (wish I could have found a 6-speed.) Put an Injen CAI and Flashpro tune on it, and it's been the best daily driver I've ever had, and still fun to drive!

Just picked up a 2004 tsx 6 speed with 250k for $750 needed a core support . Replaced it for $70 . Best deal ever . Drives great still . It’s my 5th tsx

subbed! ur my hero.. land crusher and tsxxxx

Had a 2004 TSX for 7 years. Everything was great, except for front seats. My aching back!

Glad I bought one!

Own the 04’ Effin love my 6speed! Almost at 200k

Disconnect hands free on passenger side to remove parasitic draw. Replaced starter recently from eBay ($89) , serp belt and plugs and it's running better than ever at 122.5 (I kept it 🙂)

Iv had the most reliable liable cars. 04 forester, 98 GS300, 08 TSX so proud of myself

size accounting for the amount of people it seats is limiting but i am a 6'1 big guy and a 2006 tsx fit me perfectly

It's indeed the double wishbones that make it hold the line so well over bumpy roads.

Nice detailed video! Your videos help me a great deal. I love my 6MT TSX. They don't make them like they used too! Stuck between your Koni setup or Tein Flex Z coilovers. Do you mind sharing the link to where you got your suspension? Thanks!

Just got an 06 auto ,160K miles $5500; it’ll need some TLC but engine runs fantastic. Still looking great

I’ve been running mine on 87 for 5 years. 😂 It loves it.

I own a manual 2006 lowered as well! Love my whip.

Wish I gotten a 2006-2008. Stuck with my 2005 :(

I just got an 06 now and I definitely want to clean my head lights first

Have an 07 and I live in Ohio too Down from an accidental and blown ignition coil and spark plug but I love it so! 6m trans as well

great cars have 2 of them

Anyone know what brand the stock stereo and speakers are on the 2004 TSX? Sounds better than a 2008 TL I had.

i also have an 06 , planning to add android radio head unit.

I bought an 2004 TSX half trashed. it takes quite a bit of money to get it to where you have yours. but they way you have yours is where I'm wanting to go with mine. although I already have more HP than you because I've got a cold air intake and 4-2-1 exhaust headers. I also have a new deck and upgraded cabin speakers. I have some engine problems I need to sort out, but after that I do hope to upgrade suspension and get a new paint job. money money money.

Hi I’ve the UK version that plastic box behind bumper for noise it can be removed as you say .any think to blank off after removal.?

Nice but I own a 2 gen. TL, that 3.2/225 hp, is known as a run forever, now got 230k mi, still running strong for 21 years old.

Funny its like we have reversed situations. My 3rd gen 4runnwr got wrecked and now I have the opportunity to own a 07 tsx 6 speed. This car has been on my list for some time. If all goes well I should be the proud owner of this car in a couple weeks Has some rust spots on the roof but nothing one weekend of repairs can't fix. I hope I can go through with this purchase.

228k and counting on my 08' hands down the best daily

Great video I just bought this for my daughters first car last week but I not sure if the doors lock when you put on drive or you have to do it manually? Because she noticed don’t lock or unlock when she turn the car off Sorry crazy question Just wondering I want her safe so she might have to do this every time? Thanks again 2008 Acura tsx

My dad has a used car lot and picked one up for 600 from an auction with 140k miles, the 6 speed manual and all the options for 2006 😅 I’m thinking about buying it but he’ll still charge me extra lmao

Dude you need reflash its WAY BETTER after a reflash. Good car, good build quality, reliable, comfortable for some reason I like the Accord Euro version more.

Just bought an 06 Tsx ,I'm the 3rd owner and the 2nd owner beat it up. I'm in the process of trying to restore it, It feels great driving. Want to know where I can get the storage compartment for CD?

How to clean the headlights to my 2006 acura tsx

jus found a 06 tsx with 150k miles in my area super clean wondering if its worth the 4k askin price

Just picked up a 07 tsx with 168k miles for 3650 yesterday

I have an 07 Accord Euro

I bought a tsx for the same reason, I wanted to drive to work without the constant annoyance of a mustang revving beside me on the interstate. It was fun for about 5 years but I'm over it now so I'll probably keep my tsx mostly stock 😂😂 how lame right.

Anyone know how to change the language on a 2007?

What would be a good/ max amount of mileage to buy a used Acura tsx,rsx, or tl?

the 06-08 used a different rating system to measure HP, if compared similarly to the 04-05 it's more like a 20hp difference.. dyno results for 04-05 are usually in the 160whp range where as 06-08s are in the 180whp range

Was it loud in low revs or just high revs full throttle ???

damn miss my 07 6mt so much, but they have faulty brake caliper

They aged very well

I got a 2008 Acura TSX recently, i live in California and these cars easily go over 8k At a dealership if it has under 130k miles, and I got mine with 118k miles for $8,500, $9,500 after California taxes and fees, I put 7k miles so far and I had to put some work but nothing pricey, the paint is overall pretty good just some slight clearcoat failing on the roof and side mirrors and very very slightly on the hood but after polishing & waxing it almost kinda blended in and very shiny, but welcome to California Sun, no rust obviously in California, I did get a check engine light only 500miles in that had to do with the VTEC solenoid and looked it up being a semi-common problem on these I did it at home and the part cost $240 after shipping and taxes, one ignition coil failed which cost $92, redid spark plugs just in case when one ignition coil failed ever again so I know if I have a misfiring cylinder again it’s definitely the ignition coil, so the 4 spark plugs were $40, when I went to get the transmission fluid changed (it’s an automatic) since the fluid was on the darker side but not burnt, I went to a local mechanic that I trust and showed me the driver side axle seal that connects it to the transmission is leaking, happened on the 2006 Toyota Corolla I had before but that car had 300k miles and I did it at home and it was a pain in the ass, but he told me he’ll do it for $189 so it was a good price and I avoided spending a whole Sunday afternoon trying to remove the axle myself, they did the work in about a little over an hour, my rear engine mount is weak so Need to do that, and I had a power steering leak but the mechanic told me that one of the hose looks loose, at home me & my dad got the hose loose and then tight it again and the power steering leak stopped, LMAO so I got lucky it was a lose hose, interior wise I should have done more research about leather but I have ripped two of the leather seats and I can clearly tell now where the dealership reupholstered since the new leather is very soft while the old leather is not as soft, I’ll get seat covers later, for the moment I have patched up the ripped areas, when I bought the car there were no rips. So yeah I didn’t buy the best example but definitely not a bad example either, according to the carfax I’m only the 2nd owner so I guess the previous owner had not done much maintenance during the last couple years

How do you take off the silence box?

Love my 08 TSX!

That beak was godawful and lasted 10 years! Love the new giant A grills!
