My next car: Acura TSX wagon

The Saab story has become a sob story. Three of the best Saab specialists in town can't figure out what's wrong with it. Repair estimates range from $3,100 to $5,000+, with no guarantees. Worse, the parts needed for said repair are nowhere to be found.

So, a new chapter. Something reliable. I'm going to get a 2014 TSX wagon tomorrow or Friday. It's white.

  1. Good car. There are two TSX wagons for sale in Kazakhstan. Useless info but Acura is very unpopular here and people prefer 4 doors to 5 so TSX wagon is like a unicorn.

    P.S. Minichamps called their new budget line Maxichamps

  2. What about a Subaru? In our family experience, after 25 years of Subaru ownership they've been flawless, not a single reliability problem on our 3 Legacy.

  3. @Sanchez: People in America do not like 5 door wagons either. My Maxichamp name is derived from Minichamps!

  4. @Ripituc: I really miss my old TSX sedan. It was fun to drive, reliable, and was a good value.

  5. My Subaru wagon is fun to drive too, but then it's been lowered and is packing close to 400 HP.

    Too bad about the Saab, glad I didn't buy that one I was looking at about a year ago. Such a cool, interesting car. The TSX will be fun and faultless.

  7. @Ripituc: I want nothing to do with Saabs. Also, it's too small.

  8. I missed this whole saga - what was the root problem to begin with? Sorry you got burned by your experience!
