Civic Si Coupes were the Replacements for the Integra if anything was.
Hi kilmer sir how are you.
I watched the whole video and Scotty never mentioned how many miles it has! 😂
Scotty moved to the Northeast? Not in Tennessee no more?
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.
My 2012 TSX is so nice, timeless if I may say. Wish it was a little faster but it’s always a smooth ride, no complaints
Put some motul oil and cold air intake and watch it come to life
Plenty of upgrades for the K24Z3
Love my 2012 wagon, going on 52k miles of my own 115 total and it's been fantastic
Man, when a car is referred to as "older" because it has a CD player.....it makes me sad lol
The more technology, the more to worry about
I still remember when CD players came out for cars when I was a kid
I have a 2000 Dodge Dakota V6 so I still use the CD player and the cassette player
I MISS MY CD PLAYER!
With cassettes once purchased you can enjoy the music for years without having to pay constantly for the privilege.
@@bertoabarzua5372
I’d rather have it than not have it.
Who wants to have an inferior stereo just so they don’t have to worry about it?🤔
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!
Same got a 2010 2.4 and love it has over 228k miles and still drives like a dream
@@ynwjoel6245I got a 2010 2.4l w 149000 miles rn and I love it
I just bought an 09 TSX base model with 128k miles, so far so good! Hope to keep it for a while as well
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.
Who doesn’t want the K24A2? It makes 40 HP more than the K24A1 or K24A4.
I have a 07 tl type s now so I can't complain but dang do I miss my 07 tsx. The k24a2 has to be one of best honda engines ever made.
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
@@applepoop10 Did anyone here say they prefer any other Kseries Engine over the K24A2?
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"!
This is the 2nd gen TSX. I used to own an 2004 TSX the 1st gen great car. Both TSX generations Made in Japan because it’s a Euro/JDM Accord.
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.
Nah Bruh, I'LL be plannin on keepin that one. Thanks for the 411, now what's your address? 😉
Lucky. Mines an a/t but it's still fun as hell to drive on twisty roads. Ours is the last year they had the double wishbone I believe
@@radleybradford1356 😂😂
@@devonwarnock2625 Mine is A/T as well and I love it. I love the option of going full auto to Semi auto, makes me feel super sporty 🤓
Easy on the CD player. I'm still using mine! Should I throw them away and pay for a music service? No way.
Seems like a good choice if you're tired of the same old crap everyday 😂
@@cormaro13 That's what radio is for
Oh my! It's my car!! Almost! I love my Accord! Got a 58 (UK) tourer diesel. Those heated seats and dual temperature control ❤
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.
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.
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.
Thank you for the reminder to check my oil. (‘04 TSX, 214k miles)
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
2:14, Scotty had made me feel like a dinosaur! My fist car had an 8-track player! 😄
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!
Any transmission issues or power steering?
@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 a 2006 Honda Element with the same engine with 175, 000 mi on the clock. I change the oil every 7500 and it burns no oil between changes. Have always used Pennzoil full synthetic oil.
Got a tsx 2009 at 300k kms. Drives amazing and manual trans. Only thing cabin noise is getting higher.
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
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...
Better Re-Check the Oil level after Scotty gets done " Road Testing " it ..
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
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
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.....
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)
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
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!
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.
05 Accord here 195k miles original engine on a rebuilt tranny burning a little oil , hoping for another 100k
I still Have my 2014 tsx with 95k miles amazing car for its time and even today with upgrades its better than current cars
To rpk340. The Acura tSX replaced the integra in 2004. Look it up. Love you Scotty.
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.
Good review! Still got my 2010 TSX v6 166k miles !
My v6 have 105k
I got the v6 with 126k and runs great 💪
I like the part Scotty says when and where Honda shut down.
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
The second gen TSX is what I'm saving cash to buy in January. I have a third gen Integra right now.
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
The headgasket in my 06’ Ridgeline just shut down 😂
I need to replace my struts on my 02 acura tl type s. Cant afford it right now smh.
It didnt have cooled seats, not because it is older; my 2004 Lincoln LS had cooled seats and it was "older"
The TSX just wasn't the luxury car it was supposed to be.
That said, this one is still on the road, i dont know where my LS is these days, likely in recycled land. Loved that little V8
Your comparing a full size luxury car to an entry level sedan of course
The RSX was the Integra replacement by the way. I loved my TSX though loved that 2.4 iVtec
Acura RSX is the Integra replacement and badged Integra in Japan
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
My 94 Celica has a am/fm cassette player!
You mention Toyota had similar problem with 4cyc engines in 2007-2009. What about the 6cyc engine in those years for the Camrys?
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.
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 would love to see Honda bring back the Acura legend.
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 😮🔥
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.
Hi , can you tel me does it matter which port I use if I have multiple low and high ac ports? Thank you
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
Acura K series 2.4 also have had bad timing chain tensioners . Going out too soon
What year is that Accra TSX?
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
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 ?
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.
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 have a white one, which the wife drives... I have to ask permission.
Anyway,. It's good to see Scotty taking out my car!
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
How much money would it cost to actually change the piston rings and everyrhing that comes with it?
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 ??
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
TSX 1 gen should be reviewed :)
This was actually the Honda Accord in Europe and Japan.
Honda is king at 4 bangers, JDM as Fck.
I like the TL, but too much gas
I’m surprised you discussed this salvage car. Not worth any chance.
What year was this car that you reviewed here?
Damn, Toyota just shut down production yesterday.
Hey Scott. Let me first tell you thank you for your content, really make me want to learn more about cars and repair. But I do have a question haven’t learned manual and have no way too at the moment I was wondering is I know Honda have weak automatic transmission but I really love the look of the civic. I was wondering if there any particular years that are better than others? Thank you for your help
Lucas oil stabilizer will fix that issue.
It doesnt have struts?
And its a sport model? LIke its not that sporty, but it was something like experemental sport model?
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.
@@harveyhankerson8359
For people that couldn’t afford an Acura TL.
@@billmulvihill8452 personally thought the tl was too ugly
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
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've never said the words that I want an SUV I'm a car guy and thank god some still make cars!
Love my 2008 tsx! Great cars, just do regular oil changes and that engine will last well over 300k miles.
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.
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.
same tsx love it
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
Great info. Thank you
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. ??
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.
One more time Scotty said the automatic on an old car can fail anytime. So go with manual. And be happy forever.
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
What's with the thumbnail? You said
Honda just shut down , but nothing about it in the video 🤔
I had the European Honda Accord version of this with the 2.2 diesel for years. Great car.
My best friend drives a 2011 TSX.
Scotty you should maybe think of making right turns
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.
A lot of Honda guys would pull out that K24A2 200 HP engine and put it into their Honda Civic’s or CR-V.
"Honda Just Shut Down" what? Sorry I must've missed that part while you were repeating 192,000 miles. 😊
“Basically a rebadged Honda”
Standing in front of a rebadged Honda
