Scotty, I have a 2005 Chrysler Town and Country, just passed 200,000. Original engine, original transmission. Recently replaced the O2 sensors and the power steering return hose. Other than normal maintenance that's about it (new EGR valve when it had like 45k miles) I change the oil religiously and I service the transmission every 60k miles. Last time I had the mechanic service the transmission he said, "The fluid looks new, why are you having this serviced?" My reply, "have you ever seen a Chrysler product with this many miles on the original transmission?" He said "good point." It goes to show, if you maintain even a poorly made vehicle, you can get a lot of miles.
Still have my 04 TSX. Had it since 09 and have 210K miles and going strong. Run into all the typical problems with the car, but nothing too hard to fix myself. Most reliable car I've owned....which is why I still own it!
@JaPaNeSe_MxD_707 no transmission issues. Had to replace the power steering pump and alternator a few weeks ago. Power steering pump leaking is a common issue. Unfortunately, the fluid landed on the alternator and killed it. Not too hard of a fix though.
I have an 09’ TSX as my first car and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better first car. It has tons of features for its time and handles very well. I’m planning on driving it till the wheels fall off!
2012 Sportwagon 207k mi. The contacts in my master control need to be cleaned with some electronics cleaner every few years, then the rear windows work again. My oil light turns on every 3-4k miles - I use it as a reminder to get an oil change. I love how unique the wagon is. Whenever I see another one on the road, eye contact and a friendly nod are always exchanged.
I still own one. I ordered it back in November 2005 my model is a 2006 6-speed manual with Navi and it's been a very reliable car. I replaced the original front brakes at 174,000 miles. I'm on my fifth set of tires and my original clutch has been replaced at 224,600 miles. I still get over 36 miles to the gallon traveling at speeds over 70mph. I keep my car maintained with the proper maintenance. It runs like a top and it's still fun to drive and I plan on keeping it.
My 2012 TSX is approaching 300k miles - just gotta keep an eye on the oil level and it'll run forever! (reverse jinx). About 1 QT every 2,000 miles for mine.
I absolutely love my 06 tsx. Double wishbone suspension and a k24a2 😍 plus it was the first year they gave it the face lift. Gorgeous great running vehicle especially if you take care of it.
Me too!! I have an 06 Honda accord euro which is the same as the tsx. Although mine comes with a k20 (and not k24) i prefer the better fuel consumption and the reduce of weight. It runs so smoothly and the design aged really well, for a sedan from that range its not expected to be a luxury car but also maintain a sporty feel. The 06-08 Accord euro/tsx is probably the best honda ever built. Love it
I have a tsx like this with just under 200k great car I love it. to his observation of it riding rough that has always been a complaint from people even when it came out being the more sport oriented model Honda gave it harder struts. For a more luxurious ride the big brother tl or rl would be the smoother quieter ride as the tsx is a rebadged accord from Europe and Asia but for the tsx it got the harder sport suspension making it excellent at swinging through corners which is a trait I like. its handling around corners at high speeds is insane for a car like this. Straight line speed is lacking with the 2.4 but around corners it can easily stand up to modern sports cars with no issues my only complaint is the original wheel and tire set up for the base model are tiny 17x7 wheels but the v6 3.5 had an 18x9 and doing that upgrade and some good quality tires helps the 2.4 feel stronger around corners. Some also can equipped with back up camera and parking sensors but they're hard to come by it was also available with a 6 speed manual and in Europe an AWD version under the accord nameplate was available. These cars are slept on one day I think tuner people will hunt them down and drive the price up but for now theyre pretty inexpensive and the majority of them are well maintained and not super clapped out but every once in a while I see one in the junk yard or super best down on Facebook marketplace now unlike before
Hey Scotty !!! I have a 2012 Scion with an AZE Engine ... I was burning about 1/2 Qt. every 1500 miles. I took your suggestion and increased oil from 0-15 to 05-20 weight ... It has basically stopped the oil loss. You suggestion worked 100 % . Thanks Scotty ... You're crack'in me up !!!
@@haroldnavarro9055 Of course you look at your engine oil dipstick. For typical japanese 4 cylinder cars, the difference between the High and Low oil level markings on the dipstick is a quart.
I have 2013 TSX with over 158,000 miles and still running great! Bought it as certified pre-owned in 2014. The only major issue was replacement of hands free link under warranty.
I have a 08 TSX with 132k miles for being 15 years old it still drives great it has the automatic and it still shifts great made sure to change the fluid when I got it at 120k I have it modded with a cat back air intake and ktuner v1.2 it’s by no means fast but it can be pretty zippy with a tune it’s honestly faster than some new civics and it makes some beautiful noises with 2 step or the pops while down shifting it’s timeless and I’m driving it till the wheels fall off still has cold ac 15 years later!
2010 Tsx V6 196K, new front and rear struts, eliminated the warble noise in the back. Upgrade to slotted brake rotors. Full transmission flush along with new spark plugs, oil, valve cover gasket seals. replaced. Car drives and handles a lot better!
Great review Scotty! I'm still driving my 2005 Acura TSX with 250k miles with a 6 speed manual transmission. It's still a fun car to drive and gets great gas mileage the only negative thing is what you mentioned in your review about the car burning oil I usually have to put a quart in the engine every 1000 miles.
@@tonyjordan1320 lol I agree! The downside is that i believe it causes my catalytic converter to fail and I live a state where a smog is required every two years for my car.
I have a 13 tsx…got it in 2016 with 24k miles. Paid 18k for it. It now has 94k miles on it and all I ever had to change on it besides the oil, was the wipers. Best purchase I ever made
2012 Acura RSX Tech Wagon Here. 122k miles as of today. However.....at 62K miles the Half Shafts had to be replaced, the suspension rattles on bumps a little, the starter makes a grinding noise every once and a while when disengaging from the ring gear. It is a daily driver, I do drive it in Michigan. Michigan is BRUTAL on cars. Not just the salt, it's an unusually high accident rate and the roads are HORRIBLE and there are tons of dirt ones too. Recent study showed that the average Michigan driver spends about $800 PER YEAR more on their vehicles in: depreciation and repairs than the rest of the US average.
I'm glad I ran in to this video! I actually have a 2012 Acura TSX myself mine isn't as high miles as that but they are smooth. The fact its pretty quiet inside the cabin and having good hearing makes hearing everything around me so easy as well. I bought it when it was near 93,000 miles and now at 110,000 now and never had anything crazy go on. I personally am all about being on the highway so all of my driving time with it is being mostly on highways even took it on 3-4 road trips and did very well gets good gas mileage highway driving as well my Average Fuel A would just tell me I'd get around 32-35 mpg with a long range for gas too!
I have a 2010 tsx, 190000 miles, no oil burning issues. Its super comfortable, but here at 6000ft it gets garbage mileage and its incredibly slow. When I visit home in Oklahoma it has 0 issues. Low 30s mpg vs 19 in Colorado.
Scott I have a 2005 malibu...no real problems with 200,000..my question is why a sealed transmission? No problems out of it. My well trusted mechanic says couple hundred to change fluid which includes pulling the pan etc...
If the owner gets tired of the oil consumption on this Acura he could just change the piston rings. It’s actually not a bad job on these Honda 4 cylinders. There are youtube videos showing how to do it.
I just purchased an 08 Corolla with 100k miles and I treat it the best I can. It is shiny and runs like a top. This Acura video gives me so much more confidence that my Corolla has TONS of life left. I enjoy my long days of commuting back and forth, enjoying Toyota reliability.
Ok try again..I have a 2005 malibu with 200,000..no problems..what is sealed tranny...my mechanic says about 200 to change fluid including dropping pan etc. And what's reason for sealed
@@michaelkorrek7856 I think because it saved Chevy $$ to make a sealed transmission. CVT's are like that too, I don't think there's a dipstick to check how the oil looks, just crazy.
I bought the Acura TSX 2004 used specifically because I did not want a SUV. I figured gas prices will be going up, and they did. It gets me around town in a much more nimble manner, and has great acceleration. I keep a 1990 Toyota Pickup for when I need capacity.
I’ve had an’88 Integra, ‘94 or ‘95 Legend Coupe (awesome!), ‘99 TL, ‘07 (ish) RSX & now with a ‘12 TSX Sportwagen w/ 135k on it & no troubles. Our Acura dealership service tech whispered in our ear that changing the transmission fluid every year on the automatic would likely extend the life of the manumatic & so we do. Our ‘99 TL was given up on b/c the auto trans. failed. Aside from that, we have been big believers. Also have owned a number of X-Drive BMWs (in Vermont) and while their performance is awesome their reliability comes NOWHERE remotely close to the Acuras! If Acura offered SH-AWD on their smaller cars (& bring back the wagon!) we’d kiss BMW goodbye forever.
My 2012 tsx is a techpack with tan interior with black diamond stiched seats lowered 2 inch on 19 inch gunmetal hfps from a accord sport with stock stereo in rear swap with 2 ds18 pros and 1 jbl to bass
I am the original owner of a 2012 TSX with 210K... The car is still all original and nothing has ever gone wrong ever except having to replace the ignition coils at 200K. I replaced the struts at 110K and made the car ride so much better like scotty pointed out. Single best car I have ever owned.
I love my 09 TSX luckily I bought mine used and it had the oil burning fixed. Smooth and fun driving here in Mexico 😎 (except for the potholes everywhere)
Wow that car sounds nice! Even after taking good care of my engine …….In April at 263,400 miles I somehow I blew the gasket , I decided to have my 95hondadelsol engine rebuilt …….cost a fortune …but I’m happy with my decision ……it drives sooooo smooth now ( I also had suspension work done on it too)
@@kattywilliams35I think it's worth it! The only thing to look out for with the 3.5 engine is the timing belt and water pump, as they wear over time, and can cause the belt to snap.
@@elmoneyyy I couldn't find a good TSX, I bought a 2007 Acura TL. It has the J series V6, all the power options, I'm glad I bought it! It's stock, I might do a Tesla style stereo.
I still like hatchbacks, station wagons and vans. The only thing wrong with suvs is that they are too many. You can see them more and more often even here in Romania (small country in eastern Europe).
Are you seeing suvs with a real frame underneath or are the SUVs you see unibodies? The unibodies are less safe than the ones with the real metal frames underneath like on my truck or Jeep for work. I have nothing bad to think about Romania or it's people. Some extremely serious Olympic athletes have been from Romania. Maybe if I am granted good health, run out of work, hopefully I can one day visit your country and people. 🙏👏🥇👋
@@JuliaJames-zx5xy Only suvs with unibody. Most of them are made by Kia and Hyundai. All of them are made in the last 5 years and they already started to rust. The more reliable suvs are made by Toyota or VAG (VW Audi Skoda...).
@@lupulflamand5673 Wow. Thank you for answering me. This is interesting. Are these SUVs used for city driving mostly? Or are they used for long distances or both. Now I will have to look up your country to get a small idea of what the land & weather are like. My son worked for GM as a software engineer for a short time. He warned me to not get a unibody. He said they can be very dangerous in a wreck. He said get a Corvette instead of a Camaro because they still have a frame under them. That was 3-4 years ago. I have a right hand drive Jeep I used for work. It has a real frame. I've looked at older used Jeeps and they would be rusting underneath, driveshaft, frame, etc. What is put on your roads for ice and snow? Any salt used for melting frozen areas?
Would you consider doing a video about scan tools and what the information means and the ranges the data should be at? Sort of the way you do pre inspections for people but with your trademark thorough explanation
The tsx is a rebadged jdm accord the integra was replaced by the rsx. The rsx was dropped to push for the tsx. The new integra is a replacement for the ilx
My 2006 5spd civic ex 2door was bought was when I was 24. I'm now 41 and it's my daily. 435 000km 270 000 mil . In that time I have not put more than $1300 into repairs 😮🔥
got one at 60.000 miles :), but our european roads are trash so you can consider it twice that mileage in terms of WEAR and tear, hardware wise just burns oil, the 2012 model (europe 2.0 engine not the 2.4 engine) otherwise same car, only the 2012 model for the 2.0 burns oil due to a design change to pistons, 2009,2010,2011,2013,2014 ones have the same piston design, the one that didn't burn oil anymore they failed but they reverted back after 2012 at least for the 2.0 engine
adding one oz of penzoil two stroke oil per 5 gallons of gasoline in the tank will reduce oil consumption to almost nothing. and it will improve the top cylinder lubrication.
Is this the exact same engine in the 2004-2008 Acura TSX models?? I know they are both 2.4 liter 4 cylinder engines. The reason I'm asking is because I'm looking at buying a 2005-2008 TSX with under 100k as my new daily. About 4 years ago I bought a 2017 Audi SQ5. I bought it in Summer 2020 with 50k miles on it. It was extremely well maintained by the original owner. I was worried about it possibly buring oil but all the research I had done stated that it would not be much of an issue if at all with the last couple production years of the SQ5 with the supercharged 3.0 6 Cylinder Engines. Folks in the Audi Forums were all saying it was the earlier 2009-2015 4 cylinder turbo and 6 cylinder supercharged model Audi's that had issues with excessive oil burning. It was due to the piston rings failing as they got more miles put on them. Anyway, I bought the SQ5 from my local Audi Dealership at 50k miles in my favorite spec which was the black exterior with the black Alcantara/leather and carbon fiber trim. For 10k miles it was the all around best vehicle I have ever owned in my life and I've owned lots of different types of vehicles. At 60k miles the low oil alert light came on which was about 900 miles after my 3rd oil change. My heart sank because I knew what it meant. The dealership had done one at 50k when I bought it then I did them every 3k miles up until that point. My piston rings just started failing and it was burning a quart about every 900 miles. My local Audi Delearship where I bought it even replaced the PCV Valve for free to try and make the issue better but it did not help. I traded it in for a 2014 Lexus GX460 which does not burn any oil at all! In fact when I bought it I bought and installed a new genuine oem polished exhaust tip. Not only does the polished tip never get black but the inside of the polished tip never gets black...........The inside! The TSX models I am interested in buying has about 90k miles on it and it's a 2005. I won't buy it though if it will burn excessive oil in the future.
This one is actually european+japanese Accord 2.4i 2011+. I have the same one, but with manual :D Some people do not beleave me it has 11+ years already, still looks like new, 200000+km
Manual Acura and Honda are great I wonder if the transmission had already been replaced. Unless it was babied the 4cyl motors are perfect fit on those automatic transmissions they can last but if it’s beat on then you’ll at least have to replace the transmission once before 200k miles. Especially the V6 engine Many go out around 100-150k in auto I loved my Acura integra coupe manual great on gas and quick even stock Granted TL is more luxury then integra even accords
My favorite years have to be from 06 to 08, the first gen. In japan they were the 2.4 type s. Befoe that was the Euro R with a K20. For hard-core Acura fans, this car first gen TSX is almost a must own as the 2nd gen TL Type S. 2014 marks the saddest year for Acura fans. They killed both TL and TSX.
In my 2012, I usually drive in manual mode as my normal mode but now the transmission doesn’t wanna listen when i want to upshift 😢 so back to NpC mode; I gotta do transmission flush and/or check the paddles themselves 😓
Bought my 2012 wagon (K24 4 cyl) new. Service it by the book. 140k miles. Have replaced all four coils, alternator, battery three times, front and rear shocks all leaking for the last 40k miles, both drive axles replaced. Transmission (5 spd auto) replaced by Acura under warranty at 55k miles (excessive whining) - and based on smell it NEEDS a service every 30k miles. Interior: rear window switch failing, vanity light control module dead (read: no door lights and passenger map light is dead), rear hatch supports replaced 2x, perforated leather seats rip at the sewing joins under your butt (because it's 50% leather and 50% air, duh... Performance surprises: A/C robs the engine of 20% of it's power, paddle shifts are complete garbage: NOT rev-matched, making using the paddles a scarily-abrupt and rough gear change, and unlike every k24 on the planet, because this is Acura engine mapping (not Honda) you CANNOT find a chip or any other purchasable modification for this version of K24 motor for more power. Last: power delivery is abysmal: lots of noise and very little push. It's also very lumpy in delivery (bUt It'S gOt V-tEcH!). Feels super primitive compared to any turbo-4 or any 6 or 8 cyl. Stupid. Doesn't burn oil, but DOES require premium fuel. This is NOT anywhere near Toyota reliability. And it's no quieter or more-comfy than a Honda Accord. Won't be buying another Honda/Acura product - it's a badging exercise with zero aftermarket performance potential and no more reliable than an upscale American or Euro product. Waaaaaay too many negatives.
I have been driving TSX 2006 automatic since 2006. It’s a great car but recently started showing electrical problems like the electronic climate display doesn’t work all the time, door lock problem and burns oil. But the drive is still fantastic!
Scotty, can you explain a German guy, why the EGR Valve for my Honda Accord 2.2l Diese costs 1440 Euros, while VW same part only cost 35 bucks and OMG 85 ??
My 08 carried me for right at 10 years, as a second owner starting off about 150k and until I smacked a deer and totaled it (then fixed it myself!) I had very few issues. The deer incident gave way to transmission issues from replacing lost fluid from the condenser, but it made it to 373k (I was hoping to make it to 375, but no complaints!) Over all this was one of my favorite vehicles ever- very comfortable, looked really nice, sporty enough to have fun and I didn't baby it- lots of disabling the VSA and manual shifting on the dirt roads
I have an 06 Honda accord euro which is the same as the first gen tsx. Although mine comes with a k20 (and not k24) i prefer the better fuel consumption and the reduce of weight. It runs so smoothly and the design aged really well, for a sedan from that range its not expected to be a luxury car but also maintain a sporty feel.

Mr. Kilmer, I will be planning to buy a 2004 Isuzu Rodeo 4WD mid-size SUV with the 3.5 L V6 engine, which produces 250 horsepower and with the four-speed automatic transmission in the foreseeable future. It can be a great first vehicle to purchase as a novice driver, because the engine is reliable and the transmission would shift properly. Also, the final model year of the Rodeo will definitely be a great vehicle to go on road trips, as well as camping and other adventures, because it will perform better on the highway and on busier city streets, compared to almost all newer vehicles, which are technically unreliable. It would be my dream vehicle for sure. Thank you very much and have a great night.
DO NOT BUY THE RODEO OF ANY YEAR WITH THE 3.5 V6!!! Ex-Mechanic….The 4Valve HO V6 had several issues which isuzu payed dearly for and was a contributing factor of them pulling out of the U.S. market. The less powerful, smaller v6 was VERY durable. DO SOME UTUBE VIDEO RESEARCH ON IT! 😊
As known as DBA CU2, Honda Accord, K24A/Z still a dream out of a dream. I even saw a euro s model with a standard transmission for sale, man, that was a touching deal.

@@applepoop10 Did anyone here say they prefer any other Kseries Engine over the K24A2?
I have a tsx like this with just under 200k great car I love it. to his observation of it riding rough that has always been a complaint from people even when it came out being the more sport oriented model Honda gave it harder struts. For a more luxurious ride the big brother tl or rl would be the smoother quieter ride as the tsx is a rebadged accord from Europe and Asia but for the tsx it got the harder sport suspension making it excellent at swinging through corners which is a trait I like. its handling around corners at high speeds is insane for a car like this. Straight line speed is lacking with the 2.4 but around corners it can easily stand up to modern sports cars with no issues my only complaint is the original wheel and tire set up for the base model are tiny 17x7 wheels but the v6 3.5 had an 18x9 and doing that upgrade and some good quality tires helps the 2.4 feel stronger around corners. Some also can equipped with back up camera and parking sensors but they're hard to come by it was also available with a 6 speed manual and in Europe an AWD version under the accord nameplate was available. These cars are slept on one day I think tuner people will hunt them down and drive the price up but for now theyre pretty inexpensive and the majority of them are well maintained and not super clapped out but every once in a while I see one in the junk yard or super best down on Facebook marketplace now unlike before
Hey Scotty !!! I have a 2012 Scion with an AZE Engine ... I was burning about 1/2 Qt. every 1500 miles. I took your suggestion and increased oil from 0-15 to 05-20 weight ... It has basically stopped the oil loss. You suggestion worked 100 % . Thanks Scotty ... You're crack'in me up !!!
I had one if these 2012 special edition. Very nice car but interior seats are crap
That's the old school solution. Glad it worked!
How would i know how much oil im burning?
@@haroldnavarro9055 Of course you look at your engine oil dipstick. For typical japanese 4 cylinder cars, the difference between the High and Low oil level markings on the dipstick is a quart.
I have 2013 TSX with over 158,000 miles and still running great! Bought it as certified pre-owned in 2014. The only major issue was replacement of hands free link under warranty.
Got a tsx 2009 at 300k kms. Drives amazing and manual trans. Only thing cabin noise is getting higher.
Thank you for the reminder to check my oil. (‘04 TSX, 214k miles)
I have a 08 TSX with 132k miles for being 15 years old it still drives great it has the automatic and it still shifts great made sure to change the fluid when I got it at 120k I have it modded with a cat back air intake and ktuner v1.2 it’s by no means fast but it can be pretty zippy with a tune it’s honestly faster than some new civics and it makes some beautiful noises with 2 step or the pops while down shifting it’s timeless and I’m driving it till the wheels fall off still has cold ac 15 years later!
2:14 How many others felt REALLY OLD when they heard CD's described so dismissively? "it 's an OLDER car so it has A CD PLAYER"!
Good review! Still got my 2010 TSX v6 166k miles !
My v6 have 105k
I got the v6 with 126k and runs great 💪
2010 Tsx V6 196K, new front and rear struts, eliminated the warble noise in the back. Upgrade to slotted brake rotors. Full transmission flush along with new spark plugs, oil, valve cover gasket seals. replaced. Car drives and handles a lot better!
Better Re-Check the Oil level after Scotty gets done " Road Testing " it ..
Great review Scotty! I'm still driving my 2005 Acura TSX with 250k miles with a 6 speed manual transmission. It's still a fun car to drive and gets great gas mileage the only negative thing is what you mentioned in your review about the car burning oil I usually have to put a quart in the engine every 1000 miles.
Engine oil every 1000 miles???
@@1--y yes unfortunately
For a almost 20yrs old car I'd take the oil burning like a badge of honor..
@@tonyjordan1320 lol I agree! The downside is that i believe it causes my catalytic converter to fail and I live a state where a smog is required every two years for my car.
@@rubenespinoza1256 Huh, I didn't think of that, replacing the cat every two yrs would put a damper on the keep it going as long as possible.....
Hi Scotty: I have the same vehicle with 170k. Yes it burns a little oil but what a great car. Has always been fun to drive.
I still Have my 2014 tsx with 95k miles amazing car for its time and even today with upgrades its better than current cars
I have 288;000 miles with no oil burn and no major repairs. Replaced south and do my own oil change with quality Valvoline and good filters.
I have a 13 tsx…got it in 2016 with 24k miles. Paid 18k for it. It now has 94k miles on it and all I ever had to change on it besides the oil, was the wipers. Best purchase I ever made
2012 Acura RSX Tech Wagon Here. 122k miles as of today. However.....at 62K miles the Half Shafts had to be replaced, the suspension rattles on bumps a little, the starter makes a grinding noise every once and a while when disengaging from the ring gear. It is a daily driver, I do drive it in Michigan. Michigan is BRUTAL on cars. Not just the salt, it's an unusually high accident rate and the roads are HORRIBLE and there are tons of dirt ones too. Recent study showed that the average Michigan driver spends about $800 PER YEAR more on their vehicles in: depreciation and repairs than the rest of the US average.
I'm glad I ran in to this video! I actually have a 2012 Acura TSX myself mine isn't as high miles as that but they are smooth. The fact its pretty quiet inside the cabin and having good hearing makes hearing everything around me so easy as well. I bought it when it was near 93,000 miles and now at 110,000 now and never had anything crazy go on. I personally am all about being on the highway so all of my driving time with it is being mostly on highways even took it on 3-4 road trips and did very well gets good gas mileage highway driving as well my Average Fuel A would just tell me I'd get around 32-35 mpg with a long range for gas too!
Great cars!!
I top out at 29.7 and that's driving like I'm retired.
So crazy I got my ‘10 at 86k now at 112k and going strong
I have a 2010 tsx, 190000 miles, no oil burning issues. Its super comfortable, but here at 6000ft it gets garbage mileage and its incredibly slow. When I visit home in Oklahoma it has 0 issues. Low 30s mpg vs 19 in Colorado.
I have the V6
And yup mine is 2010 also ! Great cars
I have an 09 tsx, 257k miles I have loved it and have been pleasantly surprised with how bulletproof this thing has been all in all great car
I would love to see Honda bring back the Acura legend.
The RSX was the Integra replacement by the way. I loved my TSX though loved that 2.4 iVtec
Honda is king at 4 bangers, JDM as Fck.
Scott I have a 2005 malibu...no real problems with 200,000..my question is why a sealed transmission? No problems out of it. My well trusted mechanic says couple hundred to change fluid which includes pulling the pan etc...
If the owner gets tired of the oil consumption on this Acura he could just change the piston rings. It’s actually not a bad job on these Honda 4 cylinders. There are youtube videos showing how to do it.
05 Accord here 195k miles original engine on a rebuilt tranny burning a little oil , hoping for another 100k
I just purchased an 08 Corolla with 100k miles and I treat it the best I can. It is shiny and runs like a top.
This Acura video gives me so much more confidence that my Corolla has TONS of life left. I enjoy my long days of commuting back and forth, enjoying Toyota reliability.
@@harveyhankerson8359 That sounds awesome. I love the car and it came with factory service records on the car with transmission services too.
Stay on top of your oil changes and don't do burnouts everywhere and it'll make it a long, long way.
Ok try again..I have a 2005 malibu with 200,000..no problems..what is sealed tranny...my mechanic says about 200 to change fluid including dropping pan etc. And what's reason for sealed
@@michaelkorrek7856 I think because it saved Chevy $$ to make a sealed transmission. CVT's are like that too, I don't think there's a dipstick to check how the oil looks, just crazy.
@@metalmike570 no its no dipstick
The 1st gen TSX’s are way better. Mines at 270,000 miles. Most of the time the car only burns oil if it’s in high rpm’s
I bought the Acura TSX 2004 used specifically because I did not want a SUV. I figured gas prices will be going up, and they did. It gets me around town in a much more nimble
manner, and has great acceleration. I keep a 1990 Toyota Pickup for when I need capacity.
I’ve had an’88 Integra, ‘94 or ‘95 Legend Coupe (awesome!), ‘99 TL, ‘07 (ish) RSX & now with a ‘12 TSX Sportwagen w/ 135k on it & no troubles. Our Acura dealership service tech whispered in our ear that changing the transmission fluid every year on the automatic would likely extend the life of the manumatic & so we do. Our ‘99 TL was given up on b/c the auto trans. failed. Aside from that, we have been big believers. Also have owned a number of X-Drive BMWs (in Vermont) and while their performance is awesome their reliability comes NOWHERE remotely close to the Acuras! If Acura offered SH-AWD on their smaller cars (& bring back the wagon!) we’d kiss BMW goodbye forever.
My 2012 tsx is a techpack with tan interior with black diamond stiched seats lowered 2 inch on 19 inch gunmetal hfps from a accord sport with stock stereo in rear swap with 2 ds18 pros and 1 jbl to bass
Nice, mine is 09 tan interior white exterior, bagged with stocks and for music I got a chuchero 10” and 2 12 subs
To rpk340. The Acura tSX replaced the integra in 2004. Look it up. Love you Scotty.
I am the original owner of a 2012 TSX with 210K... The car is still all original and nothing has ever gone wrong ever except having to replace the ignition coils at 200K. I replaced the struts at 110K and made the car ride so much better like scotty pointed out. Single best car I have ever owned.
I love my 09 TSX luckily I bought mine used and it had the oil burning fixed. Smooth and fun driving here in Mexico 😎 (except for the potholes everywhere)
Wow that car sounds nice! Even after taking good care of my engine …….In April at 263,400 miles I somehow I blew the gasket , I decided to have my 95hondadelsol engine rebuilt …….cost a fortune …but I’m happy with my decision ……it drives sooooo smooth now ( I also had suspension work done on it too)
Test drove an Acura TSX yesterday. Quick darty handling, smooth quick acceleration. Very fun. Rotted rocker panels? Asking 6,500. Instant no.
Today: Bought a 2006 Camry V6 w/ 64k miles for $5k instead.
What year is that Accra TSX?
I have 2013 tsx special edition really love it when I go high speed and high rpm 😎😎😎 faster than some brand new car now days😂😂
Hello is it worth it in 2024 i got a deal but 3.5 v6
@@kattywilliams35I think it's worth it! The only thing to look out for with the 3.5 engine is the timing belt and water pump, as they wear over time, and can cause the belt to snap.
The second gen TSX is what I'm saving cash to buy in January. I have a third gen Integra right now.
Do you plan on doing any mods (cosmetic or engine) to it? What, if any?
@@elmoneyyy I couldn't find a good TSX, I bought a 2007 Acura TL. It has the J series V6, all the power options, I'm glad I bought it! It's stock, I might do a Tesla style stereo.
My 94 Celica has a am/fm cassette player!
I still like hatchbacks, station wagons and vans. The only thing wrong with suvs is that they are too many. You can see them more and more often even here in Romania (small country in eastern Europe).
Pentru că SUV=prOtEcȚiE
Are you seeing suvs with a real frame underneath or are the SUVs you see unibodies? The unibodies are less safe than the ones with the real metal frames underneath like on my truck or Jeep for work. I have nothing bad to think about Romania or it's people. Some extremely serious Olympic athletes have been from Romania. Maybe if I am granted good health, run out of work, hopefully I can one day visit your country and people. 🙏👏🥇👋
@@JuliaJames-zx5xy Only suvs with unibody. Most of them are made by Kia and Hyundai. All of them are made in the last 5 years and they already started to rust. The more reliable suvs are made by Toyota or VAG (VW Audi Skoda...).
@@lupulflamand5673 Wow. Thank you for answering me. This is interesting. Are these SUVs used for city driving mostly? Or are they used for long distances or both. Now I will have to look up your country to get a small idea of what the land & weather are like. My son worked for GM as a software engineer for a short time. He warned me to not get a unibody. He said they can be very dangerous in a wreck. He said get a Corvette instead of a Camaro because they still have a frame under them. That was 3-4 years ago. I have a right hand drive Jeep I used for work. It has a real frame. I've looked at older used Jeeps and they would be rusting underneath, driveshaft, frame, etc. What is put on your roads for ice and snow? Any salt used for melting frozen areas?
@@JuliaJames-zx5xythey are used for both city driving and long distances. And yes in the winter they use salt to melt the ice.
I like the part Scotty says when and where Honda shut down.
Would you consider doing a video about scan tools and what the information means and the ranges the data should be at? Sort of the way you do pre inspections for people but with your trademark thorough explanation
Acura RSX is the Integra replacement and badged Integra in Japan
The tsx is a rebadged jdm accord the integra was replaced by the rsx. The rsx was dropped to push for the tsx. The new integra is a replacement for the ilx
TSX 1 gen should be reviewed :)
My 2006 5spd civic ex 2door was bought was when I was 24. I'm now 41 and it's my daily. 435 000km
270 000 mil . In that time I have not put more than $1300 into repairs 😮🔥
got one at 60.000 miles :), but our european roads are trash so you can consider it twice that mileage in terms of WEAR and tear, hardware wise
just burns oil, the 2012 model (europe 2.0 engine not the 2.4 engine) otherwise same car, only the 2012 model for the 2.0 burns oil due to a design change to pistons, 2009,2010,2011,2013,2014 ones have the same piston design, the one that didn't burn oil anymore
they failed but they reverted back after 2012
at least for the 2.0 engine
I need to replace my struts on my 02 acura tl type s. Cant afford it right now smh.
I had a 09 TSX for 9 years. It was an awesome car! Still my favorite to date. Would still ha e it, but needed more space.
adding one oz of penzoil two stroke oil per 5 gallons of gasoline in the tank will reduce oil consumption to almost nothing. and it will improve the top cylinder lubrication.
Is this the exact same engine in the 2004-2008 Acura TSX models?? I know they are both 2.4 liter 4 cylinder engines. The reason I'm asking is because I'm looking at buying a 2005-2008 TSX with under 100k as my new daily. About 4 years ago I bought a 2017 Audi SQ5. I bought it in Summer 2020 with 50k miles on it. It was extremely well maintained by the original owner. I was worried about it possibly buring oil but all the research I had done stated that it would not be much of an issue if at all with the last couple production years of the SQ5 with the supercharged 3.0 6 Cylinder Engines. Folks in the Audi Forums were all saying it was the earlier 2009-2015 4 cylinder turbo and 6 cylinder supercharged model Audi's that had issues with excessive oil burning. It was due to the piston rings failing as they got more miles put on them. Anyway, I bought the SQ5 from my local Audi Dealership at 50k miles in my favorite spec which was the black exterior with the black Alcantara/leather and carbon fiber trim. For 10k miles it was the all around best vehicle I have ever owned in my life and I've owned lots of different types of vehicles. At 60k miles the low oil alert light came on which was about 900 miles after my 3rd oil change. My heart sank because I knew what it meant. The dealership had done one at 50k when I bought it then I did them every 3k miles up until that point. My piston rings just started failing and it was burning a quart about every 900 miles. My local Audi Delearship where I bought it even replaced the PCV Valve for free to try and make the issue better but it did not help. I traded it in for a 2014 Lexus GX460 which does not burn any oil at all! In fact when I bought it I bought and installed a new genuine oem polished exhaust tip. Not only does the polished tip never get black but the inside of the polished tip never gets black...........The inside! The TSX models I am interested in buying has about 90k miles on it and it's a 2005. I won't buy it though if it will burn excessive oil in the future.
This one is actually european+japanese Accord 2.4i 2011+. I have the same one, but with manual :D Some people do not beleave me it has 11+ years already, still looks like new, 200000+km
They stopped making them almost 10 years ago
🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, because they figured out they were lasting too long.😅
@harveyhankerson8359 I've got a Chevy Avalanche with over 320k on it. They stopped making those, too.

For people that couldn’t afford an Acura TL.
@@billmulvihill8452 personally thought the tl was too ugly

“Basically a rebadged Honda”
Standing in front of a rebadged Honda
Better a rebadged honda than a rebadged chevy or rebaged vw tbh, the cars are great
Manual Acura and Honda are great I wonder if the transmission had already been replaced. Unless it was babied the 4cyl motors are perfect fit on those automatic transmissions they can last but if it’s beat on then you’ll at least have to replace the transmission once before 200k miles. Especially the V6 engine Many go out around 100-150k in auto
I loved my Acura integra coupe manual great on gas and quick even stock
Granted TL is more luxury then integra even accords
My favorite years have to be from 06 to 08, the first gen. In japan they were the 2.4 type s. Befoe that was the Euro R with a K20.
For hard-core Acura fans, this car first gen TSX is almost a must own as the 2nd gen TL Type S.
2014 marks the saddest year for Acura fans. They killed both TL and TSX.
This was actually the Honda Accord in Europe and Japan.
I like the TL, but too much gas
I have a white one, which the wife drives... I have to ask permission.
Anyway,. It's good to see Scotty taking out my car!
Damn, Toyota just shut down production yesterday.
Lucas oil stabilizer will fix that issue.
One more time Scotty said the automatic on an old car can fail anytime. So go with manual. And be happy forever.
You mention Toyota had similar problem with 4cyc engines in 2007-2009. What about the 6cyc engine in those years for the Camrys?
Love my 2008 tsx! Great cars, just do regular oil changes and that engine will last well over 300k miles.
In my 2012, I usually drive in manual mode as my normal mode but now the transmission doesn’t wanna listen when i want to upshift 😢 so back to NpC mode;
I gotta do transmission flush and/or check the paddles themselves 😓
I’m surprised you discussed this salvage car. Not worth any chance.
I got a 2005 6 speed manual. I love it.
How many miles on it?
@@rafaellinfernal9711 129k runs like new. I know that it can make it 300k without a problem.
Bought my 2012 wagon (K24 4 cyl) new. Service it by the book. 140k miles. Have replaced all four coils, alternator, battery three times, front and rear shocks all leaking for the last 40k miles, both drive axles replaced. Transmission (5 spd auto) replaced by Acura under warranty at 55k miles (excessive whining) - and based on smell it NEEDS a service every 30k miles.
Interior: rear window switch failing, vanity light control module dead (read: no door lights and passenger map light is dead), rear hatch supports replaced 2x, perforated leather seats rip at the sewing joins under your butt (because it's 50% leather and 50% air, duh...
Performance surprises: A/C robs the engine of 20% of it's power, paddle shifts are complete garbage: NOT rev-matched, making using the paddles a scarily-abrupt and rough gear change, and unlike every k24 on the planet, because this is Acura engine mapping (not Honda) you CANNOT find a chip or any other purchasable modification for this version of K24 motor for more power. Last: power delivery is abysmal: lots of noise and very little push. It's also very lumpy in delivery (bUt It'S gOt V-tEcH!). Feels super primitive compared to any turbo-4 or any 6 or 8 cyl. Stupid. Doesn't burn oil, but DOES require premium fuel.
This is NOT anywhere near Toyota reliability. And it's no quieter or more-comfy than a Honda Accord. Won't be buying another Honda/Acura product - it's a badging exercise with zero aftermarket performance potential and no more reliable than an upscale American or Euro product. Waaaaaay too many negatives.
It doesnt have struts?
And its a sport model? LIke its not that sporty, but it was something like experemental sport model?
The headgasket in my 06’ Ridgeline just shut down 😂
I have been driving TSX 2006 automatic since 2006. It’s a great car but recently started showing electrical problems like the electronic climate display doesn’t work all the time, door lock problem and burns oil. But the drive is still fantastic!
That's funny, my 2006 TSX w/ 200K doesn't burn or leak oil.
Scotty, can you explain a German guy, why the EGR Valve for my Honda Accord 2.2l Diese costs 1440 Euros, while VW same part only cost 35 bucks and OMG 85 ??
My 09 Tsx has 320000kms went into limp mode and cylinder 1 misfire :(
My 08 carried me for right at 10 years, as a second owner starting off about 150k and until I smacked a deer and totaled it (then fixed it myself!) I had very few issues. The deer incident gave way to transmission issues from replacing lost fluid from the condenser, but it made it to 373k (I was hoping to make it to 375, but no complaints!)
Over all this was one of my favorite vehicles ever- very comfortable, looked really nice, sporty enough to have fun and I didn't baby it- lots of disabling the VSA and manual shifting on the dirt roads
We had an 08 TSX, it was the best handling car we ever owned. It was the last year the 2.4l had a timing chain...wife totalled it😢!
Bruh, get another Tsx and make sure your wife doesn't take one look at it 😂
I thought the RSX replaced the Integra. ??
I have an 06 Honda accord euro which is the same as the first gen tsx. Although mine comes with a k20 (and not k24) i prefer the better fuel consumption and the reduce of weight. It runs so smoothly and the design aged really well, for a sedan from that range its not expected to be a luxury car but also maintain a sporty feel. The 06-08 Accord euro/tsx is probably the best honda ever built. Love it
Just lost my 07 to a wreck, 303,000 miles all original except alternator, starter, and AC compressor.
What year was this car that you reviewed here?
Scott my ABS AND THE SKID LIGHT KEEP COMING ON ON MY 2011 TOYOTA TACOMA TRUCK , is that about the tracking help me to understand it ?

How much money would it cost to actually change the piston rings and everyrhing that comes with it?
My best friend drives a 2011 TSX.
Mr. Kilmer, I will be planning to buy a 2004 Isuzu Rodeo 4WD mid-size SUV with the 3.5 L V6 engine, which produces 250 horsepower and with the four-speed automatic transmission in the foreseeable future. It can be a great first vehicle to purchase as a novice driver, because the engine is reliable and the transmission would shift properly. Also, the final model year of the Rodeo will definitely be a great vehicle to go on road trips, as well as camping and other adventures, because it will perform better on the highway and on busier city streets, compared to almost all newer vehicles, which are technically unreliable. It would be my dream vehicle for sure. Thank you very much and have a great night.
@@harveyhankerson8359 Thank you very much.
DO NOT BUY THE RODEO OF ANY YEAR WITH THE 3.5 V6!!!
Ex-Mechanic….The 4Valve HO V6 had several issues which isuzu payed dearly for and was a contributing factor of them pulling out of the U.S. market.
The less powerful, smaller v6 was VERY durable.
DO SOME UTUBE VIDEO RESEARCH ON IT!
😊
@@Caliber50bmg Thank you very much. The 3.2 L V6 engine of the Isuzu Rodeo is much more reliable, than the 3.5 L V6 engine.
As known as DBA CU2, Honda Accord, K24A/Z still a dream out of a dream.
I even saw a euro s model with a standard transmission for sale, man, that was a touching deal.
Tsx wasn't the replacement for Integra .The RSX was.The shares the same platform is the accord.I have both vehicles
