2011-2014 Acura TSX Wagon.. What You Didn’t Know 

2004-2008 Acura TSX CL9.. What You Didn’t Know ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9Cp3GgFTg4g.html

I own a 2012 TSX Wagon, and I love the fact that I rarely see another one on the road. Excellent suspension and bullet proof reliability makes for a fine daily driver for me.

I owned 2 of them for many years. I bought a 2012 new and after a year my wife wanted one to replace her old car so we bought a 2013. Mine was the standard trim, hers has the Tech Package. We traded the 2012 last year for an RDX. I took her 2013 wagon. (SUV's aren't my thing) I love these cars. The only thing I did was put 18" Sparco Pro Corsa wheels (Tire Rack) on it and replace the standard air cleaner and cabin air filter with K&N filters. The 2012 was bulletproof and so is the 2013. Still get complements on the car occasionally. This video was enormously helpful and informative.

I have a 2011 w/ 116k miles and love it. Best car I've ever owned. Trouble free and just really fun to drive.

I have a 2012, just hit 100k miles 2 months ago, still running strong with no issues.

I own a 2013 acura tsx wagon with the tech package. Only 60k miles and I know what I have . Super rare. Never seen another in my area. And I'm never selling it

I've owned a 2012 TSX wagon for about six years now. Love it. I do wish Acura had made this in a manual. It's sad that we don't get a lot of wagons anymore.

Well, I don't recall ever seeing one on the road, therefore it's kinda cool. Wagons although kinda not popular really make much more sense than a SUV in an objective world. Great review Kevin.

Had a new 2013 one in white until a deer decided to leap into it's next life. I replaced it with a new 2014 one in white and it is honestly the best purchase I've ever made. A little under a decade and just over 100k miles. Personally, I'm quite pleased with the engine and "slower ride" because when I'm in sport mode on mountain roads, it is PLENTY fast, gas mileage is great, and I'm not getting pulled over as much as I used to 😅 Will definitely miss her when she's worn out in another decade! Every time I go to the dealership, all the techs and sales come out and talk about how great this car is and ask if im thinking about trading it in. When I answer no (while laughing), they nod and understand - love that!!

I purchased a used one about 6 months ago. It is low milage and well maintained. Definitely took me a little while to find one in such a good condition. Great vehicle for daily driving, and it's fun in higher rpms. My only complaint is its fuel economy. 19 mpg for normal driving in 85 city/15 highway condition.

I have a 2012 Sport wagon and it is a perfect daily driver for what I need it for. It's very reliable , easy/fun to drive and I get compliments all the time.

I bought mine new in 2012. I have 70k miles on it. I keep a log book of every maintenance item, right down to the wiper blades. Absolutely love this car. I don't ever intend to sell it. I replaced the front seat covers and the center armrest cover as the leather started to crack. I did tweak the idle speed. The car moves when you ask it to so no complaints there. Absolutely a great highway cruiser. I have a Corvette for go fast days but this is handsdown a really comfortable and tight drive.

I owned one for a year. I really liked it. I’d still have it if it came with the V6 that was available for the sedan. 206hp for a 3,600lb vehicle was inadequate.

I bought new and still own a 2014 Red TSX Wagon. Regular maintenance and no issues so far. I like the extra storage (It can carry 10 ft fence rails with all the windows up), and the 4 cyl engine is zippy enough for my needs. I replaced the tire inflator with a spare tire kit for about $100 and thankfully haven't needed it thus far. I get regular compliments and questions about it. One guy in a suit wanted to buy it out of the driveway, but I sent him on his way. From what I've read of its reliability, I expect to drive it at least another 9 years.

Bought one from a friend in 2019 with crazy low mileage, for an 8 yo car. My older kid now has it, but I miss that girl so much. My 2019 Outback seems like a tank compared to her. Also, when riding with my kid, they drive it like an old person. I'm so tempted to swap back b/c that car is so fun to drive. Not sure why so many people talk about it's slowness off the line or in the 1/4 mile, but maybe b/c I like to drive it in sport mode most of the time b/c of the high rev and treat it like an Acura sedan with a v6. It may not have the CarPlay and the "tech" is almost 10 yrs old (however I have found websites to get aftermarket stereos) is just a fun car to drive around town for the little driving that I do.

Our wagon has been a good car, It’s been great in road trips too! It’s great on gas on the highway and The styling is average like most cars are but it’s aged pretty well and still looks good.

this is the European Honda Accord Wagon with a Acura badge on it 😅, thanks Kevin 😀.

Man! I love these new reviews! Thank you !!!

when are we going to shut up about the engine and transmission???? what this WAGON comes with is fine. it's not an AMG. it's not an Audi RS. The car is great. not ok. it's great. what the car should be compared to is the VW wagon. the TSX is an entry level car. ENTRY LEVEL. the ride is great. the interior is great. the looks are better then great. look at another 2011 vehicle and see how badly they have aged. this WAGON still looks amazing.

I've owned many cars, but only loved 3: 1. '94 Impala SS. 2. '06 S2000. 3. '11 TSX wagon. It's just pretty perfect, and the fact that it's rare makes me love it even more.

she caried the large heavy golf bag, he wore her scarf around the neck. he had the light travel bag, love it. love the wagon!

I have not seen one on the road anywhere. None in Indiana..I would have bought one but bought Reg sedan 09

Best sport wagon design are the Dodge Magnum and the Caddy CTS wagons.

76K on my blue `11 wagon - debadged the "TSX" off the back, which still catches attention ("Acura makes a station wagon??"). I have a pesky parasitic current draw issue and had some recurring problems with the Bluetooth hardware (which is a known issue with its Broadcom chipset and static electricity). Just spent a month in the snow on Mount Hood with 'new' (to me) Blizzak tires mounted on 16" Acura rims (which just clear the brakes!). Drove it 700 miles to California and got ~33 MPG (including over passes and through storms). Absolutely LOVE this car (as did my late wife, who frequently preferred it over her Kia, and my late mother who I originally bought it for). My first car was a `91 Integra GS with 344K miles on it when my friend got drunk and totaled it. Despite mechanical wear and tear from many winters in Boston, oil changes were easy and the engine still purred like a kitten, three timing chains later, so I figured this car would be reliable - what I didn't count on, though, was the Japanese propensity to copy German engineering, and sure enough, the complex CAN-based electronics have been hard to troubleshoot. (Previous car was '01 Audi S4 Avant, which was a blast to drive but ultimately WAY more trouble than it was worth). #AmericaNeedsMoreWagons! 😎

Sold from 2008 on in the UK as Accord Touring but trying to find a petrol 2.4 manual 6-speed is now difficult. Many were diesel automatics which ended up in the hands of private hire cab owners. 300k on the clock is not uncommon. The high max torque of 350 Nm @ 2000 vs 192 Nm @ 4100 for the 2.4 petrol suited the wagon. Those wanting a Honda normally went with the CR-V which was the big seller. BMW, Audi and MB were the volume wagon sellers and easy to find used.

I wish we got the wagon in manual. I have a 2010 TSX sedan with a manual (and tech package which gives the ELS system, Navigation, and rear camera) and it's fun enough to drive, but like you said it's slow. Also interesting how you say the seats and ride is stiff. My TSX feels plush compared to the ride in my E63S, seats included. Even with Nappa leather, the E63S has much firmer seats than my TSX does. I agree, the TSX sportwagon is one of the better looking wagons in my opinion. Some can definitely look like a hearse, but Honda got it right with the proportions and rear end

Thank you for making a wonderful informative video! Wish I had this for reference before buying mines. I bought my ‘14 sport wagon last October with 97k miles, overpaid but im happy with my purchase. I’m thoroughly enjoying the car in its stock form and plan to mod mines without sacrificing the comfort and functionality.

I was looking for one about 2 years ago. My 2011 Civic got caught in a flood. Only one that wasn’t clapped out was over in CT for about $28K with taxes & 40k miles. I went & got the sedan with 38K miles instead in PA

from South Africa, here they are called Honda accords\ Tourer. Also here they do come in 2011 2.4L Manual transmissions. Automatics are more arround, but there is Manuals as well.

I drove my 2011 blue TSX wagon for 12 years until daughter took it to college this fall. I miss both of them. We get lots of compliments on the looks of it, especially from Gen Z age.

Ive seen 4 on the road this month, makes me want one

Thanks for an informative video. We bought a 2011 TSX Sport Wagon in mid 2022. It's the Tech package, and i was surprised how much I like the power rear hatch. The sound system is as strong as I'd need, after adding an aftermarket Bluetooth input. This is an all around excellent near luxury/ near sporty daily driver car for us. The K-series is plenty of power, though I do agree the manual 6 speed would have been great if offered. We were also looking at the Acura RDX SUV, newer years. I had a guy watching out at the dealer auctions for a Sport Wagon, and I'm glad he came through. Low miles, and you could just tell that this car has been loved and cared for, with just a few tasteful refined mods. I felt it was a bargain especially compared with SUVs. I've only ever seen two others - might just get another one, if available.

I had the 2011 TSX I loved this car, road like a cloud sporty clean comfy and unique I miss it so much I only sold it after my bf was murdered and was scared to be in it because of how unique it was I now have an MDX and I'll never own anything else ever again other than an Acura I'd love to see this car be redesigned and come back out!!

Proud owner of a 2011 Sport Wagon!

I agree with this video, especially regarding the insufficient horsepower. He is not asking for a European engine, but he simply states that it was a missed opportunity to become a better contender in its class just by offering the same very capable six cylinder engine with AWD which was already being offered in the TSX sedans. This car could have greatly benefited from increased horse power because wagons are excepted to haul more weight, not to mention its own weight of almost 4000 lbs., I believe. I also agree with some reviews that it can do without all the changes if you are budget conscience and prefer reliability over performance. One can be more than satisfied with this car than its European competitors who fail miserly in the reliability and affordability of the maintenance if the high performance is a secondary demand. Unfortunately this car remains to be a city dwelling, errand running grocery getter rather than having the opportunity to offer a fine touring engine capable of going cross-country without blowing a gasket trying to get it up to the speed. My wife and I along with my son and Pitbull have owned 2014 TSX wagon with Tech package. It has been a very reliable, practical, and nifty family car with fully loaded with convenience features as offered in its Euro competitors minus the performance features such as Six cylinder or turbo powered engine, Stick-shift or higher gears and especially the AWD system which is crucial in severe weather and bumpy roads. It is now at 130000+ being used by our now 30 year old son. We are currently looking for a comparable replacement such as Subaru outback or Audi Avant or All road- because they are half the price of TSX Wagons in the used car market. This video and commentaries are very accurate and fair. Like he says the car is what it is. It offers a lot more than many others out there regardless of its performance shortcomings, but most importantly the peace of mind that even if it breaks down, it won't break the bank although I am still paying the installments from the catalic convertor replacement, engine mount service, wheel bearing arm replacements total of $3000 to PEPBOYS Los Angeles. Just for reference: I have previously owned trouble free 1992 and 1995 Acura Integra, as well as, 2002 Audi A4 Avant wagon AWD stick shift and 2004 Audi A4 sedan with hefty maintenance expenses.

I detailed a lot of them in Naples FL! The nice car fun to drive I had a 2012 tsx sedan!

They should have at least optioned it with the 6 speed manual.... I had a 2010 TSX manual as well. Lovely driving car. I would have loved to own the wagon with the 6mt.

I agree this is one of the better looking modern wagons. The first gen Mazda 6 wagon, Ford Mondeo wagon and Dodge Magnum/300 Estate are some of my favorites. This car likely would've sold much better with a J30 or J35 in it. A K24 simply wasn't enough power for a relatively heavy car with "luxury" branding and pricing.

Looks like a Saab if you look closely, I just passed one the other day. They look cool!

Has anyone had their wagon throw a power steering error sign? How have you gotten it fixed? We have replaced the power steering but still there.

Had a 2013and loved it, I wish I never sold it. Looking for a 13 or 14

Good Touring (Wagon) appreciate size. Reminds me of the BMW E39 touring. It needed two engine and transmission choices.

Some of the most methodical and intelligent people I know drive Acura’s. One a ‘12 TL and the other a ‘20 MDX.

I have a 13 tsx sedan. Love the car and will be getting the tsx wagon. They are popping up for sale

I bought my 2013 new and stiil have it. I loved the looks of it. I would have bought one with a V6 if they ever had them. I got the tech package ...one problem I had was the battery. The battery it comes with just can't handle all the electronics like the ELS sound system. I had them install the Acura remote starter but the car battery just didn't have enough juice. So I changed it out with a larger one. Last year I noticed the passenger window pillar leaking water. That cost me 800$ to fix. Now I'm noticing on cold mornings the tech screen will come up with colored lines through it. If I restart the car the screen seems to come back. Anyone experience that? What has to be replaced? Oh I only have 56k on it. The first 4 or 5 years I owned it I had people all the time wanting to buy it. Even now people come up to me saying things like "what a nice car never knew acura sold them"

I love my Tsx

The k24 is good. Its the 5 speed autos long gears that hold it back. The 6 speed manual gearing is much steeper.

Mileage - 24mpg city / 30mpg highway?

Nice looking ride I prefer over suv

Lol funny that I'm seeing this video now I didn't even know a wagon version of that car existed til like 2 weeks ago. I live in Canada we only got the sedan version up here. I saw one driving around my city the other day I was trying to figure out what car it was and I recognized the front of it. I didn't get to see the license plate but I figured it was from the US after I did a quick Google search and saw the wagon was only sold in the US

I thought they should have put the K23 turbo engine from the first gen RDX in the TSX it would have been a rocket

I'm in the market for a pickup truck.. but if I can find a '13 in good condition, I'd jump all over it. These are so unique with a slight drop and wheels.

Can anyone tell me what a 626 LMR GT wagon is needing information badly it beat my z06 by 2 cars a buddy of mine is trying to pay me with this car???

I own a 2012 sedan 3.5 v6 and I love it 💪

Have/like a 2013 with navigation, white. Found it on the www two years ago at a Toyota dealership with 26,000 miles on it in like new condition. Was one owner dealer serviced. I was looking for one knowing Suits me good with being a out door enthusiast to carry all my gear. Could definitely use more power. Me Coming from a Acura TL, gsr, Integra other Acuras. Each I've owned for many years put hundred's of thousands of miles on. The tsx wagon performance, build quality is definitely not as good. But.... Me at 59 years old no worries. To make this car a little more perfect ...for me. Upgrade The performance six cylinder or turbo, upgrade build quality to like ride of my TL type s ,all wheel drive along with better bass from sound system.

Where do you get all the footage from I want to be as professional as you when I grow up

Im considering one of these for my next daily. Currently drive a 2015 Golf R, but I need more space as the gf and I want to start a family but I'll be damned if I drive an SUV. It just needs more power for my liking, so maybe a supercharger kit or j swap?

They SHOUDLVE gave it a better engine

So your telling me you can’t make this car go fast ??? I’m trying to buy a car and I’m looking at a wagon 2012 and I like it but I also what to make some changes for a little boost .

A hearse on wheels, fancy that 🤔🤣

I have a 2012 Acura TSX Special edition and it got 253K miles on it.

I really don’t understand why manufacturers gravitate to the sport models, like the Lexus F sport, it’s completely useless in everyday driving, you can’t sport around on congested roads and it make the ride harsher. I personally want the luxury aspect of these vehicles.

when we getting the rsx and rsx type s video

Acura: we suspect the TSX wagon buyer will be an older gentleman, married, with children, or someone with an active lifestyle like a cyclist or a cross country camping enthusiast. 11 years later: Me a younger male, single, no children, somewhat of an active lifestyle style. Also me: slammed his 2011 TSX to the floor and goes to car show😂 The reaction I get from people in my wagon is so cool, a lot of people have never seen a TSX wagon in person and some didn’t even know they existed, I’m just happy to show people my rare gem.

I want one of these so bad they're just stupidly expensive. & not just now, they've always been a little pricey

Bruv didn’t say hearse on wheels what u live in Greenland and have it on snow tracks

The 2004and 2005 cl9 wagon in sold in England

Boost it

Honda and wrong decisions? Is that possible 😂

I wish I had bought one in 2016. I still don't like the nose on them and worried about the transmission.

👊🏾👍🏾👍🏾

But a hearse does have wheels 🤷

I own one 😂

👍👍✔✔

Yo bro

This Spherior acura tsx is ugly with the beak grille. First gen TSX Euro Accord are more nicer.

This is why they don't bring wagon anymore to the U.S, because Americans rather buy a mediocre horrible looking crossover than a wagon. EU on top for having better taste.

this is totally useless video ,when you want a wagon the most important is what it can carry you dont give any capacities at all but i can see its bloody useless the vw sportwagon is bigger w t f

The j series v6 and awd would've made this the Japanese audi rs6
