Acura TSX
Offering relatively sporty road handling, this compact sedan’s base engine is a 2.4L 4-cylinder, but a 3.5L V6 is available on option. The TSX comes standard with a 6-speed manual transmission, though buyers can opt for a 5-speed automatic if they prefer. Compared to the previous generation, this version is more spacious, luxurious and comfortable. Fit and finish are above par.
