One, Two, Three! Did Acura Strike Out With The TSX? |
Acura, Honda's upscale brand, widened and lengthened the TSX, which is loosely based on the European-market Honda Accord (a different, slightly smaller car than the U.S. Accord), making it truly midsize and more comfortable, though still short on rear-seat knee room.
Steering was a big minus in the loaded test car. That could be a deal-breaker for some, especially in a sports sedan where all controls should be excellent. Trying to broaden the car's appeal, Acura has fussed with the steering until it's a bit too boosted at lower speed and has little on-center feel at highway speed, forcing you to make little steering motions constantly to keep the car in its lane.
