Starting at a price of $29,610 the Acura TSX Sedan competes against the likes of Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, and the Lexus IS. It comes with a 2.4 Liter Inline 4 engine coupled to a 6-speed manual transmission. However, there is a V6 engine on offer for power-hungry enthusiasts. The interior is well decorated with a touch of luxury and includes a long list of standard features. It is also one of the best in terms of offering safety.
As per our recommendation, it is a better deal to go with the base 2.4L trim. Though the engine can feel a bit underpowered it has an excellent fuel economy and a long list of standard features that will make your penny count.

The 2011 Acura TSX comes in three variants mainly: 2.4L TSX, 2.4L TSX Sport Wagon, and V6. The 2.4 L is the base trim and starts at a price of $29,610 and includes all the standard features. The 2.4 L TSX Sport Wagon though priced a bit higher because its wagon layout offers the same standard features which are available in the 2.4 L TSX Sedan. The top-end V6 trim is for the power-seekers who want a thrill in their drive.

The 2011 Acura TSX is powered by a 2.4 Liter Inline 4 engine delivering 201 horsepower and 172 lb-ft of torque. It comes with a manual transmission having a front-wheel-drive layout. The Acura TSX comes in two available powertrains and each has its own perks.
The 4 cylinder engine lacks power but offers top of the line fuel-efficiency. The V6 engine however has ample power for passing and accelerating but lacks the fuel-efficiency.
