2009 Acura TSX Professional Reviews:
cars has reviewed the 2009 Acura TSX and given out”My biggest issue with the new TSX is its steering feel and feedback. Acura has replaced the hydraulic steering system in the previous car with a new electric power-steering system that doesn’t offer very inspiring oncenter feel; unlike many sport sedans, it doesn’t take much effort to turn the wheel left or right from its straight-ahead position, which means the driver has to pay extra attention to something that doesn’t normally require any thought.”
NewCarTestDrive has reviewed the 2009 Acura TSX and given out”The 2009 Acura TSX is kind of like the little engine that thought it could, but found out it couldn’t. As decent a car as it is, and it is a very decent car, it’s not the full-fledged sporty sedan it could be, and that Acura seems to want it to be. With all-wheel drive and just a little more power, it could give BMW and Audi a real run for their money.”
TheCarConnection has reviewed the 2009 Acura TSX and given out”The overall look, as we noted, is familiar, though the most distinctive design element is Acura’s new, shield-like grille. It’s a love-or-hate look that, to our eyes, is best displayed with lighter body colors. The added inches seem to provide Acura stylists an opportunity to give the ‘09 a more sporty, aggressive feel.”
auto123 has reviewed the 2009 Acura TSX and given out”Acura engineers ensured the new TSX would be as safe as possible, both in avoiding crashes and protecting occupants when they occur. The vehicle is equipped with powerful, 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes and a Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) program augmented with an Electronic Traction Control (TSC) system.”

Do you need premium fuel for 2008 or 2009 acura tsx?
May 29th, 2008 at 12:11 am
Yes, absolutely.
If you put in regular fuel, the car will still run. But the anti-knock sensors will work like mad to mitigate the damage to your engine.
With regular fuel, there will be less power available to you, and the maximum RPM you can reach will be capped. While this may be fine for normal driving, in an emergency situation you may suddenly find yourself restricted.
There are many reasons, including:
1) Higher compression engine means more power in a smaller engine, with better fuel consumption
2) Using premium gas allows for different catalytic converters and other emissions equipment, to reduce environmental harm.
The TSX is a fabulous car.

Can a 2009 Acura TSX use diesel, or is premium required?
June 2nd, 2008 at 1:14 am
first thing the actual filling hose nozzles are bigger for diesel and wont fit into your gas tank anyway….even if u filled your tank with diesel fuel it would be costly but would not damage your engine….look in your owners manual,call your dealer or look at the gas door and see if it says premium only..other wise use regular gas but no diesel fuel…acura tsx …nice car.
