If there were any car that I would feel more confident about buying within its first year, it would be a Honda product. The engine is the same as before, but slightly revised. Different body, and there will be a few issues with a few cars that will need to be recalled and fixed. The TSX has been out for awhile though. I believe they came out last spring. I have thought the same thing, we all think this way. But, I would have no problem buying a honda on its first design. Though, they have had issues with the Accord VCM, however, it does not mean it is the "norm" of the Accord. Apparently they have worked to getting that resolved for the 09. Now, if it is a Chrysler or a GM product on its first year, well, I would be a little hesitant to do that.
There is no perfect car, try looking at the forums here about the new TSX. Read about what others have experienced, this will make you feel better. If there are issues, they certainly will post it. Just do your research, drive it. If you are like me, I take forever making decisions, its bad...lol. Everyone is like... just make a decision already..lol
I think you picking a Honda product is a step in the right direction. You will love it!
I loved my Accord!! Unfortunately forced into a GM product now. I would love to get an Accord or TSX.

Well, one known issue with the TSX is the design of the plastic pane that covers the nav screen. Under sunlight, it reflects the pattern of the surrounding dash, making the nav display all but illegible. Most people would probably not consider this a major defect, but it is a flaw nonetheless, and it is an example of a 1st-year issue that would likely be rectified later in the model cycle.

I bought a TSX in its first model year. I was satisfied with the car. I sold it after moving to DC because the service departments up here (Radley and Acura of Chevy Chase) were AWFUL.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy the car in a "redesign" year.

I know what you mean about lousy service departments. Luckily for me I do not have to deal with the local acura dealer (only for the annual state inspection.) I still get my 06 tsx serviced at Lehigh Valley Acura in Pa even tho I now live in NC. I get it done when I am in the area visiting family and friends.

That would be the case with me, If I had a TSX, I would not take to my dealer here, their bad, I would drive an hour to get anything done.

Greetings All,
I will be in the market for a new vehicle in the next year or so, and have focused on the new TSX or the Accord Coupe. I took the TSX for a test drive, and was very pleased with the 6 spd manual (after driving my uncomfortable '99 Legacy for the last 10 years). However I am from a northern climate, and frequently drive through unplowed snow. I am a little worried about that flimsy looking egg-crate grill in the lower portion of the front end on the TSX getting damaged when I have to drive through higher snow, snow drifts, or drifts created by snowplows. I realize the updated version has been out only a short time, but anyone have any experience with this potential problem?
My wife has an MDX, and we frequently use the local Acura dealer. They are great (Acura of Brookfield, WI).

There will be a v6 TSX for 2010. Production will start in August. 2009 TSX production will end this month.

I have read it on the other acura sites-the source is anonymous so to me just a rumor at this time. I will wait until Acura confirms what they are planning.

It cracks me up - people have been saying this since 2003. Acura already makes a V6 TSX - it's called the TL.
