Guide Review - 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon

[ahmed_7erzon]

For the most part, Acura has done an excellent job turning the TSX into a station wagon. (No big surprise; the TSX is actually the European version of the Honda Accord -- Acura is a division of Honda -- and Europeans take their wagons seriously.) The TSX Sport Wagon delivers 25.8 cubic feet of cargo space, not far behind the Volvo V50 (27.5) and Saab 9-3 SportCombi (29.4) and well past the Audi A4 Avant (17.3), though it still trails the boxy Volkswagen Jetta (32.8). Spacious it is, but frumpy it ain't; at the risk of sounding crude, the TSX Sport Wagon has a great-looking rear end.

The wide cargo bay (link goes to photo) has a hard floor and thick, durable carpets, along with tie-down hooks and a bit of under-floor storage. There's even an (optional) power-operated tailgate, a nice touch. About the only glaring omission is the lack of a scuff plate to cover the painted rear bumper.
