Yes, it's another wagon. We're automotive journalists. Of course, we're going to fall for a wagon just about every time.

Especially if it's even remotely sporty.

This 2012 Acura TSX Sport Wagon has an automatic transmission and just 73,000 miles on the clock. It's claimed to be in good condition and hasn't been in an accident. The seller says the only problems are normal wear and tear.

Features include heated seats, all-weather floor mats, and a sunroof.

Give this Texas-based car a look here.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

As 28-Cars has pointed out, the Honda tax is strong with this one. I like it in concept better than a crossover (came close to buying one several times) but couldn't submit to the K24/5AT combination knowing how much more flexible (and enjoyable) the K24/6MT is.

I wouldn't scoff at someone who bought this. It's good. Just not Honda tax good.

For $18K you could get a lovely e91 of the same vintage in great shape, with a stick and RWD-biased AWD.

ChristianWimmer Great first car for someone’s teenage daughter.
SCE to AUX Imagine the challenge of trying to sell the Ariya or the tired Leaf.
Offbeat Oddity I would have to test them out, but the Corolla might actually have a slight edge. I'd prefer the 2.0 in both cars, but to get one in a Civic with a decent amount of equipment, I'd be stuck with the Sport where the fuel economy suffers vs. the Corolla. If the Civic EX had a 2.0, it would be a much tougher decision.
User get rid of the four cylinders, technology is so advanced that a four litre V8 is possible.. and plausible.. cadillac had a serious problem detuning v8s in the past, now theyre over-revving the fours and it sounds horrible.. get rid of the bosses and put the engineers in the front seat..
BOF Not difficult: full-size body-on-frame sedan, V8, RWD, floaty land yachts. Unabashed comfort and presence. Big FWD Eldo too. While I’m at it, fix Buick much the same way just a little less ostentatious and include a large wagon w/3rd row.
