The TSX is priced closer to a V6 Camry or Accord that get about the same mpg with bigger, more powerful engines and more cabin space. The Saab 9-3 four cylinder sedan gets about the same mileage
Nothing amazingly good about the TSX mileage with a 4 cylinder, though some cars are worse.
As I said before, I stand corrected.
I'll try to be more careful in the future.
1500 cap cost + first month= total cash out of pocket $2000 + $288 month+tax..money factor was around 2% with residual of $16,7..., I don't have it right in front of me.. actual selling price was $27,000. I found 6 spd very difficult to find in south Florida. also difficult to avoid dealers fees without lots of effort.
I did not purchase at Rick Case Acura who had what i wanted near my home but instead went to Scanlon Acura in Ft. Meyers.. NO DEALER fee and reasonable, to me, price wise. It seems dealer price is really a function of national location,local economy.
2000rpm 60mph
2500rpm 70mph
2750rpm 80mph
3000 rpm 90mph
3500rpm 100mph
i got 33.5mpg on N 280 at 80mph. but there was downword slope in some places so there was coasting involved. 33mpg is not big deal for TSX if u drive more than 20 minutes on freeway in speeds between 60 to 80mph.
Thanks in advance!!!

Also, I discovered the car computer appears optimistic. When I compared what the car thought I was getting for a tank of gas yesterday (33.1 mpg) to the actual numbers (12.33 gallons in 380 miles), I got 30.8 mpg, which is still no slouch but ~7% lower.
Manual transmission may help too, though the EPA numbers say no. Of course, according to the EPA I shouldn't be getting anything like what I am. Could be the new EPA program assumes more aggressive acceleration or whatever, which I wasn't doing much of either.
However the mileage is so conditional on the state you drive and how warm the engine is. This morning after the engine was already warm (about half way into my commute) I filled up with gas and reset the MPG on the display. I then had some suburban 4 lane roads to drive on before hitting the freeway. The freeway was initially stop/start but then picked up to a more steady 55mph. I noticed that the average MPG increased and peaked at 40MPG in this steady state driving. Then turning off the freeway, I burned gas on some other minor roads before parking at work. That last bit reduced my average back down to 36MPG.
So for the 10 miles I did after I filled her up, I average 36 this morning. That's incredible! It won't stay that high and I would expect it to drop back below 30 to the high 20s on the drive home but I will monitor that and record it in a spreadsheet. It will be interesting to see if it improves with engine break-in.
Stock seems hit and miss around here. Of the two closest dealers, one still has over 20 TSX's in stock, the other is down to 8, only 1 non-NAVI. Other dealers within 100 miles have anywhere from 2 to about 15. I'm not in a position where I really need to buy, so I'm hanging out a bit and waiting to see if there's any price shift that happens once the '09s are officially in showrooms - I think if I could get one for $25k with the 2.9% financing, I'd probably bite.
Invoice: 28353
MSRP: 31005
MF: 0.0014
Residual: 56% of MSRP

Monthly payment: 350/month

He qualified for Tier 2 since he did not have much history, only about a couple of years.
What do you think guys - Good deal or not? How does the monthly payment look? Good?
I am posting this one for him
Great internet buy through Stevens Creek Acura in Santa Clara, CA.
I was not able to find an appropriate place to put up a financing question so please excuse me. Okay so i bought my TSX in aug 2006 with 4.9% from honda financing for 5 years. Do i have a chance of getting a lower interest rate if i choose to refinance my car? I am in central NJ.
Thank you in advance.
I don't think you'll be able to save any money by refinancing.

And you know what? I LOVE this little TSX driving bullet! Besides all the features you all know about, it has GREAT VISIBILITY. Important to me for safety.
Good luck to you, let us know what color and price you get.
Viva TSX!
I saw a couple of '09s when I was at the dealer - and while I think they will grow on me, I don't think I'm ever going to like that grille.
Ok, off to enjoy the new car ...
As I'm sure you will. I've had mine for a couple of months now, and just got back a week ago from a 2K mile drive around the Sierra (death valley, CA49, etc) -- wonderful.
You certainly got a better price than I did. I wanted a specific colour combination (red ext/black int) with no nav & a manual. There was only one that could be found in my end of the country.
I got the car I wanted and will be driving it for several years. It's all good.
I got the 2.9% promotional financing though AHFC for 60 months.
Enjoy the car!
I'm still a bit amazed at how easy the whole transaction was. Very impressed with the whole thing.
Also, it's a little bit of a rough ride in the city. Tire pressure is currently 38-39, should I lower this to 32 or so?
Second, I've had my Acura for two months and I would say the shaking is NOT normal - at least I haven't experienced any shaking at idle. The salesman is there to soothe you - have the service department look at it, or ask if you can sit in their other Acuras, start them, and see if "they all do that". - Be sure to have your salesman take you around, if you decide to do that!
My tsx ,bought new 11/17/06, has almost 45,000 problem-free miles- love it.
While I'm happy about the price, it seems that the 0.9% APR deal is gone. The dealer offers me 4.25% APR and says it is the lowest they can offer.
Comments?
I live in the Bay Area and I was wondering where did you get that price?
Thanks
Anyway, if we both went to leasing... I could potentially get two cars for just a couple of hundred dollars more than what I am paying for my one car? She would be interested in an '08 RDX and I the '09 TSX. Or would I be better of just do two separate deals?
Now talking about the 09 TSX itself well, in one word...it’s fantastic. I just test drove the car last weekend as I am in the market of one myself. You are correct the TSX does have memory seats but, no the mirrors are not included that. BUT, it rides well, is very quiet, and has loads of features. It was extremely impressive and a good buy for the money.
In response to the last post from lusitano, the Accord and the TSX are by no means the same car. In fact the TSX runs on a platform similar to the Civic and the Accord is twice the size at the TSX (exaggeration, but it is ALOT bigger car). The TSX has better fit and finish, better standard features, a better Nav system, and TSX has handling the Accord can’t match and to even compare the two is obtuse at best. My assessment of the comment might be harsh, but besides the fact that the colors are close to the same, the two are incomparable.
Best of luck...
I may choose to go the leasing route.
Does anyone know what the residual rate would be for 36 and 42 months?
Any current info on money factor rates? I should be able to get the best rate.
Does Acura have a loyalty program? I would be trading in an MDX.
Thanks
I only see info on the 2009 TSX on the Acura website.
I assume $26500 is including the rebate, so the price would really be $28,000 plus sales tax, then you get the $1500 rebate after that. Sales tax applies to the pre-rebate price.
If the rebate applies to my area and insurance isn't too much, I'll consider it. I hadn't bothered to test drive a TSX earlier because it was more money than I wanted to spend.
That means that the base 2008 with no navi should go for under 25K ($1000 incentive is for the base model), since it is selling most places for $25.8 and lower... minus $1000...
