2012 Acura TSX, 30k miles. Maroon over tan leather. Getting promoted into a sales role in about a month, needed some business wheels. Picked it up yesterday. First impressions:

The interior is flawless. Literally looks brand new, especially the seats. Stereo BUMPS. Really want to figure a way to keep the blue footwell LEDs on while driving. Tinted windows and a sunroof are a nice bonus.

Liking the 2.4L I-4; nice pickup, extremely smooth ride. 5 speed auto is nice too, way better than the CVT Accords I was also looking at. Has paddles, too.

Really digging the exterior color; pictures don’t do it justice. Not a chip/ding/scratch on it.

Good choice! Great color, and the Acura schnoz isn’t so bad on that one.

Nice car! But you should’ve gotten the wagon if you were getting the 2.4 auto (the only combo available on the wagon)

No really though, congrats on the new car and new job. Good luck!

There was only 1 wagon available in the Minneapolis area, had almost 100k miles! The wagon does look really slick, though.

and thanks!

yeah I think so too, the TL really shows the schnoz and is a bit bloated for my taste.

If it’s good enough for Zuckerberg, it’s definitely good enough for me haha. Interior is a surprisingly nice place to be, especially for a 3 year old car.

Awesome! My dad's got a 2012 TL, and I actually like Acuras. He would've gone for a TSX wagon but he didn't fit comfortably. Anyway, congrats on the purchase!

I love my 2012 TSX SE (mine also has only 30K miles). The 5 speed auto is nice, but I really wish I had opted for the manual (as hard as they are to find). I test drove one and it was a blast...light clutch, smooth shifts, perfect engagement point.
