Acura Introduces V6 Powered TSX for 2010

The Acura TSX was recently redesigned, but some felt that the second generation lacked the popular formula executed by the original model. As Acura’s entry level model, the Acura TSX featured excellent performance and quick handling. For the latest generation, it became larger, but without the help of more power.

For 2010, Acura is finally offering the TSX with more power. Thanks to a 3.5-liter V6, the 2010 TSX is available with 280 horsepower and 254 lb ft of toque. This needless to say should satisfy plenty of would-be TSX buyers that demand more power says Belleville Used Cars, which also features ample new Acuras. The engine is mated to a five-speed automatic transmission that is tuned more for fuel economy than off the line performance. Still, the TSX V6 can sprint to 60 mph in 6.4 seconds.

With the added power, the TSX has a surprisingly more mature demeanor. By no means is the TSX a high-performance sport sedan, but customers at Pittsburgh Acura Financing believe it certainly provides more of a premium sport feel compared to that of the inline four-cylinder model. With the added power, the TSX features 18 inch tires, a stiffer antiroll bar, and tweaked suspension which helps give the TSX superb handling characteristics.

The interior of the 2010 Acura TSX V6 provides drivers and passengers with a comfortable environment loaded with high-quality materials and fun gadgets. As with any Honda product, Pittsburgh Honda Service points out that ergonomics are excellent and the driver has excellent outward visibility while also having various controls easily within reach. Acura Service Langhorne's customers noticed the satellite navigation system is intuitive and provides helpful data, such as weather and real time traffic.

Although some Acura enthusiasts were disappointed by four-cylinder engine carried over to the second generation without a power increase, the new TSX V6 certainly adds what was missing. The Acura TSX is a great example of what all Honda products provide – value. Compared with other entry level premium sedans, the 2010 Acura TSX V6 balances practicality and affordability just as well as it balances performance and luxury. For consumers looking for a high-value premium sedan, the Acura TSX remains one of the most competitive choices available.
