Good review Mike.  At under $38k, I think this is a VERY strong value in a sporty midsize sedan.  I have to admit, I didn't realize they could be had at such at attractive price - which gets even better if you opt for the manual transmission.  I'm not a big fan of Acura designs inside or out (the beak... ugh... and something other than an unrelieved sea of medium-grey would lend a more premium look to the interior) - but I am a big fan of the way they drive.

It looks from Acura.ca that until you get to the Tech trim level that the car only comes in black,white and silver.   Bad Acura.    Furthermore   only Low beam HIDs...to cheap to put the mechanical beam deflector in that everyone else uses.

A pity 'cos it is an attractive car.

This latest model TSX has suffered some pretty bad reviews of its highway stability, usually attributed to the electric PS.  Mainly to do with wandering even on the straight and flat, making it a lousy cruiser.  Any updates on this?

I personally did not find that to be the case.  The steering is direct, but not twitchy.  I found that the 2012 Civic suffered from that issue more.
