The Sport Wagon comes standard with the TSX 201 horsepower, 2.4-liter 4-cylinder and five-speed automatic transmission. While fans would prefer the new Acura car will be a rival in front sports car Audi A4 and BMW 328i by combining a V6, manual transmission and AWD, the reality is that the TSX offers a balanced performance Sport Wagon the dynamics of almost all categories and superior fuel economy. Acura plans to offer only 4,000 units in North America, a temporarily take the temperature of American enthusiasm for a luxury car in Japan, so be on the list if you wish.
Sportwagon adds a new perspective to design the Toronto Stock Exchange, as the roofline tapering and pointed, the future shock angles gives the vehicle an image of speed, even at rest. Acura TSX has also tamed the beak, the design of gate bias before and fascia, which has undermined what is otherwise a solid car under the metal plates. The front end of the 2011 Acura TSX still looks great and techno, but exceeded its metal was considerably reduced.
Overall, the TSX offers an excellent way to drive daily, comfortable, large amount of standard equipment, plus a state-of-the-art navigation system and entertainment. In a four-cylinder under the pretext of driving experience can be a bit 'bland - the A4 and 3 Series are just more fun to drive. It might be useful to examine the downloadable versions of the Ford Fusion, Nissan Altima and Volkswagen CC as well. With the V6 and sports suspension and steering, however, the TSX gains more dynamic personality. In both cases, the TSX should be examined, and it is certainly one of the best luxury sedans and wagon market values.

Interior Design and Special Features
Although a little 'attenuated its predecessor, the 2011 Acura TSX is still quite dense, with buttons and switches, especially in the center console. Most of the checks and controls are fairly intuitive and logical, however. Equipped with a package of technology, the TSX offers an excellent navigation system (now based on the hard drive in 2011), with a voice command, real-time traffic, weather, and a large LCD screen, a control knob secondary. Involved in the Acura / ELS surround sound system is certainly enough to justify the extra cost.
New heating / cooling vents in the rear center console to provide greater comfort for rear passengers. Load center console box is now also temperature controlled to keep making better launch McDonald's cold or hot. Interior space is good for the sedan, with a slightly lower than the greats of the TL, and much more than competitors like the Lexus IS 250. The trunk measures 12.6 cubic feet. The Sport Wagon is opened further, providing nearly 61 cubic feet of cargo space with rear seats folded. This improves both the Audi A4 and BMW 3 series.
Driving Impressions
For 2011 Acura TSX rides quietly at highway speeds, thanks to thicker glass and better insulation. The power of four-cylinder engine is adequate, but compared to other luxury cars, entry-level to leave the Toronto Stock Exchange with a bit dull to drive character. The V6 Sportwagon is more alive with its sports suspension and in the case of V6, bolder acceleration. Both disks work well, the manual is easy to work with a short trip and coupling of the linear accelerator tip-in, while changes automatically provides smooth comfort.
