Used Car of the Day: 2006 Acura TSX

by Tim Healey

Published: June 27th, 2025

Today we bring you a 2006 Acura TSX that has perhaps the greatest feature of all -- a manual transmission.

In addition to the six-speed manual, this one features navigation and some suspension modifications. There are 182,000 miles on the odometer.

It does have a bit of minor crash damage that was never repaired -- appears to be cosmetic and nothing more -- and there's an issue with the interior lights. Also, the car occasionally and mysteriously smells of gasoline when idling. The CEL is not on, however.

If you're interested in an older sport sedan with a stick, you can find this one in Maryland for $6,500.

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.

Back when Acura's were good looking.

My father has a first-generation TSX with an automatic and about a third as many miles as this one. Last time it went in for service, I received a phone call from the shop about multiple five-figure offers to buy it.

Normie With modern cars and traffic, ponies can't survive the buffalo stampede.
Normie Back then my eyeballs just perceived this as a larger Lumina coupe with a clumsier greenhouse.Sometimes familial resemblance helps (period Mercedes); sometimes not.
Ty I personally loved the '92 Eldo & Seville. Very classy cars. I always heard, "buy a '92 with the naturally aspirated 4.9 because the Northstar engine of '93 was problematic. I owned a 1991 Seville STS (older body). Medium Red over Saddle leather. Hated it. Constant ABS problems. Had a friend who had a red '92 STS that never had an issue of any kind. I still find the styling, especially of the '92 STS, to still be classy, elegant yet sporty. I think they will be highly collectible in years to come.

Redapple2 Huh. Right and left must be of differing lengths. Otherwise, all shafts would go through all the same mfg steps and there would be no right and left. PS= most shafts in solid axles are the same length.
