2006 Acura TSX Review
Added convenience features and freshened styling highlight 2006 for the entry-level sedan at Honda's upscale division. TSX has a 205-hp 4-cyl engine with a 6-speed manual transmission or an optional 5-speed automatic with manual shift capability. ABS, an antiskid system, and 17-inch alloy wheels are standard. So are curtain side airbags and front side airbags. The TSX also comes with leather upholstery with heated front seats, sunroof, and xenon headlamps. For '06, it adds Acura's HandsFreeLink, a wireless connection for using cell phones through the audio system; a memory system for the driver seat; and a digital-media auxiliary jack. The only option is a navigation system, which is priced as a separate model and includes voice recognition for some navigation, audio, and climate functions.
Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 17 classes based on size, price, and market position. Premium Compact Cars are similar in size but more expensive than Compact Cars. Premium Compacts have more standard equipment and an upscale image when compared to Compact Cars.

Our Best Buys in the Premium Compact Car class are Acura TSX, Audi A4, and BMW 3-Series. At this time we have no Recommended picks.

New or significantly redesigned models in this class include Audi A3 and Lexus IS.

News
This Acura should be redesigned for either 2007 or '08. Timing depends on Honda's schedule for a new European-market Accord, which parents the upscale, U.S.-only TSX. A coupe is expected to join the sedan as an upscale replacement for the small RSX, which is being dropped after '06.
