Name one article, internet or magazine that states that the accord handles better then the tsx... i would love to read that...

 

 

Don't you understand, FH -- Adam F. has been hypnotized!

 

Okay...what's with a Honda owner bashing its own kind? Dude, what's w/ the hate? So the Accord was better for you...it obviously isn't better for everyone--this website is proof. So why come onto a TSX website and start talking bad about the car?

i actually got mad one time.. i wanted a Honda Accord EX V-6 all white with a body kit and the 17 inch wheels... but then i saw my tsx and i was like "f*ck the accord." lol

 

Im not bashing the "tsx".its a great looking car and it has nicer leather and finish then the accord.but!!the Accord has a nicer engine and better outside looks plus beefyer control arms for handleing and better looks .hehe

 

So do you always have to end w/ your Accord being a better vehicle?

He has to justify what he bought. :P

 

I mean, all the power to him, but it kind of gets old. Do a search for all of his posts, for some fun reading. See a trend? Yes the Accords nice...but sheesh...

Anyway, sorry if I'm kind of ratting on Adam...we're all in the Honda family, right? Congratulations on your Accord coupe--I like the shape of them and they seem like great cars. I wish the coupe tail lights were slapped on the sedan...

I don't know... doesn't the Accord Coupe scream "mid-life crisis"? I mean, it's quite the family hauler. Oh, but wait! It's only 2 doors - it MUST be wild! j/k

So... I seem to remember that the original poster was asking if anyone had any regrets... who was that again? heh

 

The Accord having better looks? The coupe look like a bloody Mercury Cougar wanna-be for crying out loud! YEESH!

 

Ya your right the accord sedan has the worst back end compared to the coupe.Another thing i love about it is its back seats there soo fucken roomy.

? lol Man the tsx looks like a box on weels i wouldent talk.

 

No, that's the Scion xB, or the BB (black box) in Japan.

 

I need to be a moderator....

 

I think the scion is faster then the tsx and thats the sad part lol.

 

What I find strange is that the Civic EX has the same front head and leg room as the TSX, and has MORE leg room in the back.

 

Personally, I like the way the Accord Coupe looks a lot. My main problem with that vehicle was lack of head room. Also, it lacked features (HIDs, VSC) that I really wanted. But, I was pretty tempted by that car. Also, I had been driving Accord Coupes for years, and was sort of hoping to get a four door.

Now, as for the BMW vs. Audi vs. TSX thing. I'm in a rare situation in that my family actually has one of each. My dad has the BMW, my sister the Audi, and I have the TSX. I'm in each of these vehicles on a fairly regular basis and get to spend a lot of time looking at them.

I love the way each of these vehicles looks, inside and out. I get lots of admiring stares in my Meteor Silver TSX (even though some on this site call it a girl's color!). And, I like the fact that it is a rare vehicle. There are hoards of 3 series and A4s on the street out here. The BMW and A4 are each great looking sedans as well (particularly the A4) but I'm more than satisfied with my vehicle.

But, at the end of the day, the main issue for me is that I'm not comfortable driving vehciles that I think might be unreliable in the long run. So, it was basically going to have to be a Honda or Toyota product for me.

If I have any regrets at all, it might be that I should have waited for the TL and spent a little more for a bigger vehicle. Also, I still think the stiff ride of the TSX detracts from the overall package. But, otherwise I love the vehicle.

 

someone's power hungry.....

 

I thought that adam fiozer was banned already. But I see he is still pimping his moms car. I can understand why he wants so much room in the back because thats where he sits most of the time.

 

My only regret is that it look so long for Darth to get here.

Hey, Darth -- I get the idea you've been lucky enough to have better things to do than to see.....:

Not really. I just seem to be able to spot these guys a mile away.

 

man, where do you get your info?

"My biggest problem with Scion is the engine. The 1.5 liter four-cylinder engines produce a measly 108 horsepower, and for a 2004 model meant to appeal to a young audience, that’s just not enough power to get anyone excited."

yup, you're right it looks exactly like the honda element...if it didn't have the TSX badge I would've thought it was the element

is there a vote for most stupid post of the month??? adam dafool has my vote

 

dabuda...just ignore the troll.

 

My main problem with that vehicle was lack of head room....

lol the tsx does not have the room that the accord has.

 

Sorry, I was deciding on the 2003 Accord Coupe vs the TSX and after sitting in the coupe I felt so disgusted with the interior that I didn't even feel like taking it for a test drive. This was the parchment interior, and I found it pretty hideous. The interior build quality of the coupe was just not up to par with the TSX- leather looked pretty cracked and the interior padding was all worn and wrinkled.... no thanks.

Plus, the Accord automatic didn't have sportshift, and I don't care for manual with all the stop and go traffic I hafta deal with. Rear visibility was also a huge problem with the coupe. If you're happy with your coupe, good for you, but to be honest, it's not the car for me.

But calling the TSX a box on wheels? That's a pretty sure sign that you're a troll, cause you haven't given the styling an ounce of thought. Seriously, go see the TSX in person before saying anything.

 

Yes, the accord is nice and big . Thats why its cross-shopped against minivans.

 

Again, another unfounded comment. Here's the specs from the brochures... I'll star the stats that are higher in each vehicle for you.

TSX specs:
Head room: 37.8* / 37.3*
Leg room: 42.4 / 34.2*
Hip room: 54.4* / 54.4***
Shoulder room: 55.4 / 53.5

Accord Coupe 6MT specs:
Head room: 37.5 / 36.1
Leg room: 43.1* / 31.9
Hip room: 54.2 / 46.1
Shoulder room: 56.1* / 55.4*

But when you take into account that the Accord Coupe is 11.7 inches wider and 4.3 inches longer than the TSX, the TSX definitely has a higher interior comfort / exterior size ratio. And I don't see how a huge backseat 46.1 inches makes...

 

adam da fool

 

Head room is a funny issue, because I find little relation between the stats on paper and my actual expereince in the car. For example, on paper, the G35 has more head room than either the Accord or TSX (if I recall correctly). Yet, I found that when I adjusted the seats so that I was close enough to the steering wheel to drive, I was actually hitting my head. Issues like the shape of the seats, adjustability of steering wheel, intrusiveness of sunroof all matter. In the Accord coupe, the front of the car slopes so much that there is little head room near the steering wheel.

I hit my head on the roof in the G35 sedan and Accord coupe. I had no problem with the Accord sedan or TSX. In both, I found head room to be quite comfortable. In fact, I fit perfectly into both the Accord Sedan and TSX.

But, as always, YMMV.

 

The Accord coupe's rear head room is also significantly smaller. It's only 1.2 inches less, but it means a 6-footer will bump his head on the roof.
