04 TL -> 06 (TSX or RSX)

Hi All
I've been driving a 2004 TL 6MT for a little over two years now. I test drove the TL and TSX before selecting the TL largerly for the extra power and all the toys. I drove an 2000 Integra previously.
Now I find that I miss the tossability of Integra and I am thinking about trading for a 2006 TSX 6MT or RSX-s (am I too old for this one).
Both the TSX and RSX just seem to be more fun! I drove them both on the weekend.
What do you think? Most threads are about going from a TSX to TL...
Thanks.

i've had my '05 TSX for 4 months now, and love it in nearly every way; HOWEVER, i do miss my old RSX a lot. i miss the smaller, thicker steering wheel, & the fact that the car is much smaller and feels sportier. that said, i don't miss the crappier stereo, the lack of armrest, or the bumpier ride on long trips.

i take it you don't need a backseat? you would be one of the older RSX owners that i've seen, but hey, if you like the car, go for it!

You might want to consider trying to get an 2004 MT TSX. With an 04, you would sacrifice some of the new features of the 06, but since there are more mods available for the 04 right now you would be able to make it close to as fast as your TL. So you would have the best of both worlds in a way. A luxury car with speed/power that is close to the TL, with the handling and tossability of the TSX. If you don't care about losing the extra power, get an 06 TSX navi, since it has Zagat, bluetooth, and some of the same features as your TL.

If you're purely into speed and don't care about the luxury the RSX would be a better choice since there are a lot more aftermarket mods for it such as Turbo, various SC kits, and Hondata K-Pro Tunable ECU.
