Why should I also consider these?

Shoppers looking at the 2009 Acura TSX will probably be considering other front-wheel drive vehicles, and possibly all-wheel drive vehicles, but more expensive rear-wheel-drive sport sedans such as the BMW 3-Series and Lexus IS are likely above their budget and wants.

The Subaru Legacy GT has performance that rivals the TL, though its handling is a little more crisp and all-wheel drive makes it more all-weather-friendly.

The Legacy’s back seat is also tight.

However the Legacy isn’t as quiet and refined as the Acura.

The Nissan Maxima is another alternative; it’s not as feature-rich as the TSX, but it has a torquey V-6 engine that gives it scorching acceleration off the line.

The base, front-wheel-drive Audi A4 2.0T is also a worthy competitor, with similarly good fuel efficiency and edgier performance without a sacrifice in ride.

Versus any of these competitors, there’s another big selling point: Acura dealerships.

 
2009 Audi A4
The 2009 Audi A4 has grown into a more useful luxury sedan, though it goes overboard with optional, programmable handling.
 
2009 Subaru Legacy
The 2009 Subaru Legacy appeals to rugged, sporty, and practical types, but not those who expect top refinement.
 
2008 Nissan Maxima
The 2008 Nissan Maxima is a bit more aesthetically appealing than a top-of-the-line Altima or Accord, but it doesn’t perform any better.
