The 2008 Acura TSX is part of the first generation of this performance-oriented compact sedan. Powered by a 2.4L four-cylinder engine that produces 205 horsepower, it features a buttery smooth five-speed automatic transmission with SportShift manual override, although a six-speed manual is available for driving enthusiasts. The front-wheel-drive TSX is well equipped with luxury touches including leather upholstery, and a premium sound system with CD player, satellite radio and MP3 input. It also boasts Acura's typical reputation for reliability. Safety features include antilock brakes, stability control, front-seat side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags. For the tech-savvy, it features Bluetooth handsfree interface and an optional navigation system. There were no major changes for the 2008 model year as an all-new model was slated for 2009.
