Good evening,
I'm looking for a little advice. I'm currently looking at 2 TSX, one is an 04 6MT and the other is a 08 auto. both cars are roughly the same mileage with in 3 thousand of each other and the price is roughly the same, just a couple hundred of each other. that being said, which would you all recommend? I'm leaning toward the 04 6MT just because 6MT but I wanna get your all opinion on which would be the better choice. please give me your pros and cons to each and what i should look for in buying one of these.

thanks in advance

 

How much are they asking for the TSX's...?

Personally, I would go with the 04 6MT because well, that's harder to come by and esp. if it has the same mileage as a car 4 years newer. In other words, the 04 has relatively low mileage overall.

 

asking 4500 and 181k miles but have not negotiated any yet and 4400 with 175k for the auto

 

well, it comes down to if you want to row your own gears or not....

if you enjoy having three pedals, why on earth would someone pick the auto version???


same thing is true for the auto...if someone has no desire to learn stick shift, why on earth would they pick the 6MT?

it's purely up to you and your preference on whether or not you want to clutch in at every stop light...or if you just want to cruise without worrying about shifting.

it's not about pros or cons as they are both the same car... it's purely your preference.

although, there are more pros to the 6MT; as in lighter weight and you can control when to shift...which makes the car more tossable because of these two aspects...

the auto transmission will be clunky and not be able to shift when YOU want it to...

so, decide if you want to cruise with the auto...or if you want to be multi-tasking with your left and right feet while shifting gears


for me; its no question. I'd choose the 6MT every fuckin time.
