TSX review

if this is not the right place to post this modds please move it.

i have a 3.0CL.
well today i drove the TSX. my aunts loaner car and i wasn't to impressed with it. i loved the breaks and the seats. but it has no balls what so ever. it was good to about 5500 rpm and then after that it would not pull. i thought i had my foot about half way on the throttle(i was gauging this by how far i push on my car), and when i went to push for more gas i barely moved it and i had my foot to the floor, i was like wtf, this is all it's got. the handeling was good on it, well i had the tires screaching around some corners . and i love how it is a free reving engine.

after driving that and then driving my 3.0CL about 10 minutes later i realized why i hate a 4 bangers, no torque what so ever. the TSX is rated to have the same HP numbers. but do i wish the CL had a SS mode in it, i should get a 3.2CLS. anyways i'd figure i'd post this and gave my review on it. discuss.

I love TSX's. Yeah, I love 3.2 in my CL-S, but the TSX was definitely quick enough for me. And the steering is so light and nimble.

i do agreee it is nice for a 4 banger, but i love having torque. and the steering is light and nible i liked that but every once in a while it felt like the wheel wanted to come out of my hand, like a strong jerk. i dunno maybe i was expecting more form it then what it had. yea it was an auto. it was quick on the get go but to me in the higgger rpm it just seemed to lose all power. maybe i'm just use to my car and my dads 04 TL, so quick.

The TSX is a smaller version of the TL .. I like the looks and the interior, it handles like a dream but I wouldnt take it over a TL-S or CL-S ... It doesn't have balls, maybe the 6spd would be fun to drive but for the money I don't see the TSX being worth it.
