i dont think they sold the EURO R here.
but i dont hear many cons to the TSX, other than it's underpowered for the fuel consumption.

No such thing as an acura tsx euro R. Don't let all the tyte jdm badges confuse you - in N/A there is only the Acura TSX.

There is a car called euro r but we dont have it in our market. Euro r is an accord which is a Honda and obviously Honda doesn't have this model in Canada. The "euro r's" you see here are just tsx's with euro r bodykit/emblems. The wannabe euro r's here have completely different specs lol

Iirc it has recaro front seats though
Edit: rethinking it, it's kinda silly. Tsx's have k24's and euro r's have k20's so wouldn't the tsx have more tq? but of course the euro r is probably tuned..
Edit 2:
Euro-R
Horsepower(kW) 220hp/8000rpm
Torque (Nm [kgm]/rpm) 206/6000
Weight (kg) 1390
TSX Specs
Power bhp (kW) 200hp/6800rpm
Torque lb-ft (Nm) at RPM: 225/ 4500
Weight (kg): 1466

I really like the look of a TSX especially with the Euro R body bits.
But... I have never been so dissapointed with a Honda/Acura product in my life. The car is brutally gutless, the interior is actually somewhat cheap in fit/finish, and it drives a bit like a domestic.. does not feel sporty to me at all... plus it's quite noisey inside.
I'm sure this could be corrected with 10k+ in mods but then you might as well just buy a 3 series BMW.

also depends on how you drive it too, but compared to the Accord EX they make similar power on similar engines, and you still need to use 91octane.
just some food for thought.

There's no Euro R here like everyone said, you can always do the Euro R cosmetic conversion though.
I would get a 05 or 06 because that's the only years you can get Hondata for (you can for 04 but it's the 1st year the TSX came out so I wouldn't recommend a 04), also the 06+ have bluetooth, memory seats and dash/bumpers are a bit different then the 04-05's.
IMO, the fuel economy sucks, I get about 450km on a tank (around $70 to fill), the car is underpowered and insurance is expensive but other then that, everything else is pretty good and you get the Honda reliability.

I know a couple guys that own one. They both modded it up pretty tastefully.
I thought of getting one too, but I just can't stand how underpowered the car is, and its a 2.4L engine too.
