I think that at age 4, you serve as the anchor for the young ones.

 

Ha!...you think you're old at 31? I'm 56 and love my TSX almost as much as I love my Honda VFR800 Interceptor.

 

That's not old for this car. 31 might be old compared to people who post on these forums but I bet the average age of the TSX owner falls somewhere in the mid 30's. I just turned 32 but I felt like I was 5 and just got a new bike for christmas when I got my TSX.

 

Oh yeah...I forgot...back when I got my second oil change, there was an old couple (60s) that drove up in their PWP TSX and dropped off their car for an oil change.... And they're not too old

 

Hmm... are you refering to Continential Acura? If you are, how much did you pay for your TSX?

 

...I'm 55. While I really like the TSX as a practical, well made, smallish mid sized family car, I sort of agree that I'm too old for the TSX, at my age I should be driving an Enzo or Carrera GT! But like most of us I suffer with what I can afford so for fun I drive a '95 Supra turbo slightly pumped up to crank out about 520hp.
We actually got the TSX about two months ago for my wife but I've been driving it mostly so far ...until this week when I told her she'd better get used to it and drive it and not worry about her shiney little new car or I'm taking it over permanently she loves it too.

 

i dont think you're too old...i see a lot of seniors here driving scions

 

31 and too old? NO WAY!!!!

jlukja, who is 41 and loves driving his TSX.

 

yeah, you're too old.

 

You have to grow old, but you don't have to grow up.

 

Hmm, didn't know you were old :P Were the tremors kicking in when you picked your username??? Or were you trying to pick another Acura model name

I was TSX watching today, and I'd say the average TSX pilot I see is older than me (I'd say mid 30s to 40s), with more estrogen (I'd say 50 mcg/mL or so).


jcg, who doesn't really know estrogen levels

 

I like the TSX because there is plenty of room for my cane.

 

:killer: :killer: :killer:

 

 

I saw grey hair dude was driving MR TSX last week... He's like 60+

 

On a roll last night TRU??

 

I got bored from the foosball game last night

It's the mascot of this thread

 

Keep in mind that even though most of owners that post here on the message board are 20somethings, that does not mean most of those who own an Acura TSX are 20somethings.

 

+ 1

 

All,

Thanks for all of your insights....I feel better now...LOL I actually bought the car for many of the same reasons that you all had mentioned......realiability, commuter practicality, fun to drive, better gas mileage (almost 10 Mpg more than my Passat V6 4-Motion). To be honest, I also wanted a sleeker sportier looking car than my Passat.

Thanks...everyone.... I can sleep now...

 

I saw someone's grandmother and a grandfather driving a SSM TSX on route 1 this evening and immediately thought of this post ......

 

i remeber reading acura press release a month or two b4 the tsx came out...
they were targeting 35 i think...

 

well, I guess I'll kick in (though I posted this before in the previous thread). I'm 69 and bought my 6MT TSX in May '03.

 

i'm the opposite...33 year old girl trapped in the body of a young 20-something. it's fun this way too.

 

My wife's like that.

Good times...

 

When I sat in the CG/black interior I had the overwhelming sensation---'this is a kid's car'--felt too young and sporty. Then I gravitated to the PWP/parchment and it grabbed me. Looked bigger, more luxurious and elegant, and as a mature geezer in his early 50's felt right at home. Something about the TL OTOH struck me as an older person's car. These are all intangibles, feelings for which we may or may not know the reasons. Bought a month ago w/o a shred of remorse. Still think about the Legacy GT wagon I spent a year trying to talk myself into though--will miss that cargo versatility. Will still consider buying it or the Forester next year or two.

 

Yes, being 53 I certainly agree with you that anyone in their "40s" looks completely idiotic driving a TSX. Only people aged 53 or slightly older look appropriate when driving a TSX. A sampling of informed automotive styling specialists and marketing geniuses also mentioned that 17 to 20-year-olds look even goofier in the TSX. If a teenager drives an SSM TSX, passers-by stop and stare at the sheer ridiculosity of it all. Dogs are overcome by an urge to pee. Birds plummet from the sky. Frito pies suddenly taste ... "different". And eveyone knows that MSM-colored TSXes are driven by wimps. As an "old person", I suffer from the same intolerance and judgemental attitude as all my aged peers ... unlike young people, who never make outlandish statements related to age. It is to laugh. Ha ha ha.
Actually, drive what you like, if you can afford it, and disregard the oiks who worry about "what it looks like" with you in it. Life is too short.

 

Thank you for sharing

 

I like to drive a car.

 

this thread is teh dum

:padlock:

 

might even say this thread has gotten "old"................................

 

ibtl...:padlock:

 

Why close it? Just letting it die down will do.

 

Or why not whore it?

 

Let's see I'm 61 and can afford a TSX so what's the problem. My fully outfited TSX drives almost as good as my Goldwing (motorcycle) which I put on 30,000 miles a year on, just for the fun of it. Who ever came up with this age = model car thing needs to get out in the real world a little more often. I can see strange things can happen to your grey matter when you spend to much time at their monitors.

 

ibtl ...again.

 

I'm working slowly toward my TSX (with buying a second house right now) so I'll probably be 30 when I get mine.

 

one is never too old for any car...you just have to get what you want...

 

Just wear a helmet on that chopper, man. Traumatic head injury is no picnic.

 

I don't want to offend the young crowd, but I'm buying TSX in order to drive my kids to school. Sounds like we have a lot of "mature" young people.
Originally, I was ordering a MINI Cooper until I realized I'm too old (30+) and the car is too small.
Always considered TSX an 25+ person's car. Are we forgetting this is a sportier and classier version of the 4 door family sedan Honda Accord?
If I'm 25, reckless and w/o kids, I would be getting 2 door cars like MINI Cooper S, WRX, or S2000. Now those cars are fun. I see a lot of people 50+ in my area driving TL. Then again, I also see people 50+ driving MINI Cooper. When my kids leave for college, I'll selling TSX and getting a MINI Cooper S or S2000. By then I'll be one of the bald guy on the road with a convertible.
