The entry-level sedan at Honda’s upscale division is essentially unchanged for 2007. TSX uses a 205-hp 4-cyl engine and a 6-speed manual transmission or a 5-speed automatic. ABS and traction/antiskid control are standard. So are front side airbags and curtain side airbags. The one factory option is a navigation system. Priced as a separate model, it includes voice control for some navigation, audio, and climate functions. Leather upholstery and heated front seats are standard. So are a sunroof, xenon headlamps, and wireless cell-phone link.

A brand-new front-wheel-drive sport sedan joined the lineup of Honda’s luxury division as an early 2004 model. Slotted between the RSX sport coupe and the midsize TL luxury-performance sedan, the compact TSX four-door was similar to the European version of the Honda Accord. Following a modest makeover for 2006, the only change for 2007 is the addition of a standard tire pressure monitoring system

An aggressive demeanor is enhanced by the TSX’s body retaining the superior aerodynamics. The sporty appearance of the TSX is given by a 5-sided Acura grille, more angular side markers and bumper-integrated fog lamps. The nine-spoke alloy wheels are highlighted by more substantial side sills. The short, high trunk lid terminates sharply to help air separate cleanly off the back of the car at top speeds. The aggressive look is also given by the rear bumper and taillights.

Comfort is provided by a dual-zone climate control system and a power moonroof with sliding shade. The standard 360-watt Premium Sound System, the 6-disc in-dash CD changer, the cruise control and the functions of the optional latest-generation Acura Navigation System with Voice Recognition are controlled by the steering wheel-mounted switches. A HandsFree Link wireless phone interface, an auxiliary jack for digital music players and Acura’s Smart Maintenance System are also included in the TSX equipment.

The TSX was designed as a sporty compact sedan and was engineered to provide the sort of edgy performance preferred by driving enthusiasts. Its 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine pumps out a spunky 205 hp and is available with either a 5-speed automatic transmission or a 6-speed manual gearbox. Both versions are rated at 22 mpg in the city, with the automatic recording 31 mpg on the highway and the manual 30 mpg.

The TSX is equipped with a racing-style double-wishbone suspension for its front wheels, and features a vehicle stability system designed to help the driver maintain control—even in emergency maneuvers—by electronic monitoring and adjustment of braking and engine parameters. The exterior design includes fog lamps and a sharply terminated rear deck. Nine-spoke alloy wheels enhance the car’s profile view.
