Although the 2009 model was a good driver, nice car, auto writers were left wishing for more.

The automotive industry has introduced a V6 engine – the same engine found in the larger Acura TL – offering reviewers and buyers of car an extra boost strength we have been looking for.

Despite the fact that the auditors have mixed feelings about the change of appearance from the 2009 model to the new 2010-which some consider “very safe” or “bad” – inside the TSX shows that we should not judge a book by its cover.

The car features top quality materials, including a particularly impressive ELS 10-speaker surround sound system, which is part of the technology package.

Or, if you want a great performer, but not necessarily having a luxury car and would like to save some cash to consider the Mazda 3.

Combine all this with a very cool and well-built interior (including a spectacular front seats), and it seems Acura has another winner on its hands.

Popular Mechanics summarizes the difference engine by saying, “Plant your right foot in a four-cylinder TSX and will wait until the tachometer hits high noon before you feel the engine growl.

Experience the TSX V6 is clearly different. “All the same, though the new TSX is a lively guide, handling is good but not great.

Every seam, switch, hardware and control the new TSX is high quality. “Revisionists stress the clarity of the optional 10-speaker of the TSX ELS Surround Sound System, or the system noise cancellation provided by Active Sound Control’s Acura.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has not yet completed testing for the 2010 TSX, but the name in 2009 to model a “Top Pick Safety” for the crash test scores.

Rust cover is provided for the first five years regardless of mileage, and safety zones are covered by 15-year or 150,000 miles limited warranty.

The 2010 TSX comes with the Total Care Package Luxury Acura, which offers 24-hour roadside assistance, emergency services and travel and concierge service, Acura the first four years or 50,000 miles.

We never found TSX Acura is wanting for power, but to bridge the gap between entry-level model and the largest TL, the company added a V-6-powered model TSX in 2010.

That the V-6 is the same 3.5-liter 24-valve, SOHC V-6 on the front TL-wheel-drive. It’s still a power 280 hp and 254 lb-ft of torque, which represents 79 hp and 84 lb-ft leap over the 2.4-liter I-4.

The choice for the six banger versions also feature buyers like leather seats, sunroof a power, seven speaker audio system as standard equipment.

Acura Technology package, including navigation, real-time traffic updates, and ten speakers Panasonic / ELS audio system surround, remains an optional extra.

The TSX V-6 comes standard with five-speed automatic transaxle Acura, and although it offers a manual mode and paddle shift necessary, will miss the silky six-speed manual offered four-cylinder cars.

Pricing has not been announced, but we estimate the base prices hovering around $ 32,000 – right between the four-cylinder TSX and TL front-wheel-drive.
