Product Overview

Acura TSX 2 (chassis code CU) is a mid-size sedan in production from 2008 to 2014. It was available with an inline-4 and a V6 that displaced 2.4L and 3.5L respectively.
Like the Gen1 TSX, the TSX 2 is just a variant of the Japanese / European market Honda Accord 8 sold globally. As such, the chassis and suspension setups are identical to the Accord 8.
Still, some many for the front-end of the Acura TSX to be a rather welcomed improvement.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Acura TSX 2 comes with double-wishbone and multi-link suspensions. While unusual for a FWD vehicle, this setup offers superior handling characteristics than a normal strut setup.
