http://www.autobytel.com/acura/tsx/2012/?id=32972 The 2012 Acura TSX is a perfect mix of a luxury and sports car. You can trace the roots of the TSX all the way back to the Acura Integra which is a legend in the sport compact car world. But the TSX has grown up and sports 4-doors and tons of luxury features. But make no mistake; the sports car blood line is still present. The 2012 Acura TSX has a base price of $30,010 with the top of the line sedan version costing $38,650. The 2012 Acura TSX comes with 2 available engines. The first is a 2.4 liter 4-cylinder engine with VTECH. This engine makes 201 horsepower and 170 lb-ft. of torque and gets 22 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway. This engine is mated to either a 5-speed automatic transmission or a 6-speed manual. There is a lager 3.5 liter V-6 engine available. This motor produces 280 horsepower and 254 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy for this engine is 19 MPG in the city and 28 MPG on the highway. The sporty engine is just one of the many attributes that make the 2012 Acura TSX such a great performance sedan. The front suspension is a double-wishbone unit while the rear is a multi-link suspension which improves stability. The steering is very light and precise. There are 11 inch brakes all around that are highly responsive. High-Strength steel is used throughout the underbody which not only keeps weight down, but adds to the rigidiy of the vehicle. This helps with handling but more important aids in helping return a smoother ride. On the inside there is a ton of leather both on the seats and many of the surfaces. The Acura ELS Surround is a premium sound system that is available as an option. The Technology Package adds an 8-inch touch screen navigation unit. The 2012 Acura TSX comes with six airbags including front, side, and rear curtain airbags to protect all passengers.
