The Good: Great road handling; smooth power delivery; bright, easy-to-use touch screen; DVD navigation with voice recognition; XM Satellite Radio; solid safety features.
The Bad: No Bluetooth integration; poor housing for DVD navigation system; doesn't support MP3 CDs.
The Bottom Line: The 2005 Acura TSX is a good all-around, fun-to-drive car with only a few minor shortcomings in the design and electronics departments.
