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 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.

Rover Sig Market placement: One good (large) car, one good (mid-sized) SUV, plus the Escalade (because).Attention to detail. I see nice looking caddies with some ugly features (wheels, trim). I don't know about interiors because no one I know has a caddie.The world does not need another BMW. Not everybody is in sales. Cadillac could be selling cars to all of us Boomers, who remember the large Oldsmobiles, Buicks, Mercuries, etc., of yesteryear and their comfort and, yes, style of a sort.
Tassos Back in my day, Nissans were the choice for forward-thinking, progressive folks who appreciated quality and innovation. But now? Seems like they're just for those who can't afford better. It's a shame to see a brand with such promise become the go-to for the budget-conscious (POORS!) crowd. Makes you wonder what happened to standards and aspirations. Guess you can't expect much from a generation that thinks a Nissan is a status symbol.
MaintenanceCosts The 2024 Lincoln Nautilus is actually doing what Cadillac ought to do to the XT5. Giant wraparound screen, very showy interior with fancy materials, new emphasis on quiet.
Tassos You know, back when cars were built to last, we didn't have all this fuss about "new car smell" being toxic. It's just another liberal conspiracy to make us fear everything, including the scent of American ingenuity. If you ask me, it's all a ploy by Big Government to regulate every aspect of our lives, right down to the air we breathe in our own cars. Give me freedom over a fake fragrance any day!

Aja8888 I love my new car smell as it's better than smelling the refineries and chemical plants around me here in Houston.
