The 2009 Acura TSX is redesigned with freshened styling and new features. This front-wheel drive sedan is Acura's entry-level car, and TSX shares some of its basic design with the European-market Honda Accord. The 2009 model is about 1 inch longer in wheelbase, 2.5 inches longer overall, and 3 inches wider than the 2004-2008 TSX. Interior dimensions are largely unchanged, however. The sole engine is a 201-hp 2.4-liter 4-cylinder. It teams with a 6-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmission. The automatic has steering wheel paddles to facilitate manual gear changes. The 2009 TSX comes in a single trim level that includes standard features such as a sunroof, wireless cell phone link, leather upholstery, heated front seats, and automatic climate control. Standard safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain side airbags, and front side airbags. An optional Technology Package, priced as a separate model, includes a navigation system with real-time traffic and weather information, rearview camera, and 10-speaker, 415-watt surround-sound audio system. This evaluation is based on preview test drives.
