2007 Acura TSX - CNET Reviews

With its efficient engine, mundane exterior, and high-tech cabin electronics, the 2007 Acura TSX makes a perfect commuter car for sensible IT professionals and accountants. On the other hand, Acura TSX drivers can impress their geeky friends by telling the car where they want to go, what temperature they want, what radio station to tune in to, and what phone number to call. This is one conversational car, which will follow your dictates (as long as they come from the car's list of available commands) without fail. But the car's navigation database is excellent, even including a built-in Zagat Guide for restaurants. The Zagat Guide gave us the idea for testing the TSX tech. We weren't going to do zero-to-60mph runs, as we did with the Audi A3, or attempt to drive to Los Angeles and back on a single tank, as we did with the Mercedes-Benz E320. The TSX's engine is neither that fast nor that efficient. Although we could find plenty of promising restaurants in the car's database, the navigation system wouldn't let us easily program them all in. Once you input a destination, you can search for places along your route, but you can't put in way... Nor can you put in one destination, then add more after that one. So we had to select our first restaurant, go there, then select our second, and so forth. Source: www.cnet.com
