My TSX is essentially a Euro Accord and yet I have a few problems with my car already. I have a few problems with my new Acura TSX and it has only 4,xxx miles on it. I took delivery on the car on May 17th. Some of my CDs get jammed in the 6 disc changer and the engine has a tendency for overheating. However, turning off the A/C seems to solve this problem.
Another thing is my gas mileage on the TSX. The window sticker claims 22mpg in city and 31 on highway, but recently I've been getting 20 miles to the gallon. My range now is 250 miles compared to 410 miles when I got it. wtf?!? I got 28mpg the week after I bought it, but I have no idea whats the deal with the terrible gas mileage now. I don't have money to keep buying fuel like this! Especially when Premium 93 here costs $1.81!!!:madfawk:

Those are the problems I have with my new TSX, but I still like it even with these problems.

I think I will have to start driving my Honda CR-V more now and leave the TSX in the garage!
Dude, I can't even believe guys like you exist.

You've got a BRAND-NEW CAR that, among other things, overheats when you dare to use your a/c and your brilliant solution to the problem is to leave your baby in the garage and drive some pansy cute-ute?? Weak.

Umm, I've got a crazy idea that just might help solve some of your problems...

TAKE THE FRIGGIN CAR INTO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE!

Part of the price you paid for that 04 Acura was for a new car warranty, so you might as well use it while it lasts. As far as your gas mileage differences, there are LOTS of things that can cause mileage to vary, so I wouldn't even know where to begin with that issue, but I think that's small potatoes compared to the other stuff wrong with your car. It might be time to start wondering if you might have pulled a lemon...

On an unrelated topic, some punk in a TSX pulled up next to me at a light a couple nights ago and revved his little 4-banger at me. Well, light turned green and me and my 03 Accord Coupe EX-V6 handed that little brat his butt! Complete and total ownage. Lesson of the story? TSX owners, don't bring a knife to a gun fight...
