Acura TSX Sport Wagon for lease

Acura TSX Sport Wagon

The redesign of the TSX Sport Wagon began with the 2009 model and continues this year with the addition of a V6. Some rejoice while others just do not know why Acura offers a powerful 6-cylinder on a car that focuses more on agility. In short, we liked the dynamism of the 4-cylinder, we must now discover the new V6.
Similar but different
First of all, there is no doubt that the new Acura design attempts to attach to his models did not please everyone. Some items are oversized so that the lines are very chiseled. Many speak of cars in the "Transformer" while others evoke the look of Pontiac. However, in the case of the TSX Sport Wagon, we see that the car seems to have escaped the pen designers. The visual style is similar to other brand products, but all is quiet and very traditional, unlike the TL and MDX.

This new style, however, provides a significant improvement in terms of handling. Indeed, the car that took the volume, his reactions are much more stable and solid. The TSX Sport Wagon offers 6.1 inches longer and 7.6 inches more width than its predecessor. The wheelbase is gaining 3.3 cm while the tracks have been widened by nearly 6.6 cm. There is no doubt that these changes have allowed both to increase the interior volume, but also to provide a behavior much more "sticky" on the road.
Once behind the wheel of the fireball, quickly and easily found an ideal driving position. Then you can enjoy an environment conducive to sporty driving. Obviously, when a car is controlled, it is usually by means of a manual transmission. However, in the case of the 6-cylinder version, Acura chose instead to offer only the 5-speed automatic transmission. At first glance, one would think that this is a huge mistake, but once camped behind the wheel well, it appeases anger enjoying the paddle.
Three ways to drive

Now then, this automatic transmission offers two modes. It can operate in position "D", which will experience a very civilized behavior. For a little more punch, it goes into "S". This gives the revolution mounted impressive, but also very fast. Highly stressed, the engine happily popular revolutions in the high and unlike many German models, the TSX Sport Wagon accepted with joy the trip far. And if that was not enough, it is also possible to change gear manually using the paddles. The result is not as fast and precise as the transmission of Volkswagen DSG, but mounted revolution, coupled with the exceptional sound of the engine and muffler make the experience completely amazing. In short, impossible not to enjoy driving this car.

Very impressive
On the road, the TSX Sport Wagon offers impressive stability. Compared to the 2008 model, we really feel that this is a completely different car. The gain in volume helped make the car very competitive with German as are Audi, BMW and Mercedes. The older version of the TSX Sport Wagon just did not measure up. With the V6, Acura back in the saddle. Encamped on the 18-inch tires, the V6-powered TSX Sport Wagon offers a ride adhesive. Roll occurs only when high cornering brake dives are hardly present. Of course, decked out with a 6-cylinder engine, the car shows a weight on the front higher than the 4 cylinders. Weight distribution is not ideal, but for the average person, the result on the road does not cause serious problems. By cons, pushed to the extreme and turn, the TSX Sport Wagon V6 has a tendency to understeer, which will be worse than if you approach the turn at over 150 km / h! Otherwise, the pipe is solid, very well assisted steering and suspension leveling the road admirably. The car also offers excellent sound and traveling 100 km / h seems such ease that one wonders if it really runs so fast.

Always quality
Inside, we find the same attention to detail as other Acura products. The finish is exemplary and the appropriate choice of materials. By offering a wider drive, the cabin gains in volume and printing width is very present in the dashboard. The presence of brushed aluminum adds a sense of sportiness while the two-tone instrument panel gives the element of luxury missing. The front seats are extremely comfortable and provide excellent support, both lumbar and lateral. The head support is soft and makes long trips much more enjoyable. At the rear, the situation is less positive. The legroom is just as opening the door to access the rear seats is a bit limited.
The 2010 TSX Sport Wagon V6 now has the makings of a true sports sedan. It competes favorably with the German class, but offers more reliability that seems foolproof. In short, the design has improved, the car took the volume and the engine now offers the "wow" that was missing. Difficult to have more!
