First off... a big thanks to everyone who posts in here for the various tips, advice, rants, photos, humor, etc. They were a big help!! So thanks!!

I picked up my 2004 Acura TSX w/Navi, 6-speed, Carbon Gray w/Quartz interior last night after saying a long good-bye to my faithful '97 Prelude. Got it after only a 1 week wait from Acura of Boston with 2 miles on it (heh, I put about 60 miles on it last night alone though). Got it for $600 off MSRP which I think I could have done a bit better on... gah, I hate haggling. Oh well, live and learn.

I'll have photos, reviews, issues, etc. later on... but for right now, my first thoughts are WOW. Coming off the Prelude the sheer number of nice little touches and gadgets is just great. Plus it felt really comfortable right from the start, this is going to be a very fun car.

Thanks again all!

I agree on all counts. I picked it up on monday night and I'm still amazed by it. Nicest car I've owned so far, it's just alot of fun to drive.

Cheers, and congrats on the new cars. After 2200 miles mine still has that new car smell when I open the door. Snif .... Ahhhhh.

Thanks folks!

Though I would totally like to point out how completely unfair it is that when a lady posts about getting her new ride, she get's tons of responses and I get a just a couple.

Heheheh... though I guess it's good to see we all have our priorities straight.

Congrats on the purchase. You couldn't have picked a better color combo, IMO.

How many miles were on your Prelude & was it a SS or manual? The reason I ask is I handed our '99 Prelude SS (auto) w/55000 miles to our son & traded his '97 CL in for an '04 RSX-S for my wife to drive. The Prelude has been reliable, I am just a bit uneasy about so many autos having tranny problems. Any problems with your Lude? How was the trade-in value?

Congrats on your new ride. VTEC is not as prominent as it was in the Lude.
