I've done some whining myself (although I always try to keep it constructive/informative). But I've never doubted that the TSX was, and is, the best choice for me, by far

I'm no psycho on the road, but I can't believe I haven't earned myself a citation yet Just too much fun to resist

If the TSX goes through no problems the same way the old 99 Accord did, up until 90,000 miles in 4.5 yrs, then I'll consider it a very good quality car.

But, happy at the good gas mileage and rarity of the car, because some people look at the car and say I've never seen that car before.

My 99 Accord sedan was made in Japan, no probs until the catalytic converter, timing belt, and bad brakes started occurring around 89K miles.

I hope the TSX will surpass the 6th gen Accord in terms of quality. Well, we'll find out in 4.5 yrs how well the TSX did if I keep it that long.

I love my TL! I want to say as a TL owner that I really like the TSX. I always do a double take when I see one. Great car you guys have.

I LOVE MY BABY!! It's so much fun to drive and knock on wood, no problems at all so far. My commute is only 15 mi one way, and most of the time, that's not enough quality time with my baby, so I don't want to get out!

Definitely get the SNHOND3 adapter. I have it and I couldn't live without it. It's worth every cent. Having my 20GB iPod's music collection available all the time in my TSX makes me look forward to driving it even more.

I'm already partially committed to the AUX input/MP3 add-on. There goes my tax refund!

Oh, and I'm happy with my TSX too!

I love mine too! I don't know if it's the weather or higher humidity, but the only thing that made my gorgeous TSX less than perfect before was the creaking noise from the dashboard/windshield, but even that is largely gone now... also, the more mileage I have on it, the faster it gets!!! AMAZING CAR!

Thanks for this wonderful thread!

I am also very happy with the car. I don't drive it everyday to keep the mileage low, so it's a pleasure to get in it and go!

What a relief to hear from all of you happy TSX owners. As a hopefully soon TSX owner I was worried after hearing all of the problem threads.My RSX-S is a real sweety but I'm looking for luxury and quiet now.

Power when I need it, very comfortable, and loads of fun to drive and toss around. Now that I've really broken it in, it feels faster, and I get to know the redline a little bit more It's nice to drive a unique car that stands out in the crowd of BMWs and Audis

Bon jour

The current TSX is my 4th Acura (2 Integra + 1 TSX).
TSX is the bigest bang for the buck.
On top of that, it saved my rear when an UPS truck hit me last year.
It is a quartz Nav, MP3, tint.
Cheers & enjoy your cars.

I too am very happy with the car thus far and I have had it for 11 months now. I don't have any rattle issues and the only major issue I had was with water getting into my driver side headlight assembly, which was taken care of within a reasonable amount of time. My experience with the service dept. at Lindsay Acura in Columbus, OH has been great as well.

Thumbs up

2 weeks and 800+ miles in...

I love the TSX! I have been absolutely thrilled with the car so far, totally fun to drive, looks beautiful, slick transmission, best gadgets, fantastic build quality, great gas mileage, totally great.

Did have a flat tire only 1 day in, but the service dept. at Acura of Boston was on it in a flash. Great service there and at the dealer during the sale. So far it has been my absolute best experience with a new car... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

19,00 Miles and Loving every mile

Not one regret. My Carbon TSX w/ navi has all the pep needed, especially when you use the right RPM for the job. This car jumps between 4K to 7K, it's solid, gets 28 city and 31 highway and has a great sound system. What more can you want?

The TSX I absolutely love.
But I still kinda regret getting it..

Because when I was looking for a new car, I was looking to get a 4 door sports car, with tons of potential.

I liked the STi's performance, but wasn't too crazy about its styling(not that its bad looking, but just not my taste).

What I REALLY wanted was the EVO8, but everybody told me not to get it, cz i'd kill myself lol.. and plus the interior just wasn't upto my taste, it was just TOO simple, and lastly the ride was just TOO harsh.. The performance of the car made up for all of that though.. in stock form that car is an animal. But mainly I couldn't get it, because my parents forbid me from buying it. They kno wat the car is capable of, and how my driving is..

The next car that I really liked (altho its nothing performancewise) compared to the STi, EVO8, or even a SRT-4.
was the TSX. I really liked how this car performed overall, and up until 2 nights ago I was like ehh.. evo schmevo this TSX is great, until some stupid 16year old ricer in a V8 Camaro burned me out, thats when I thought to myself "shoulda got an evo..." hehe..

But otherwise, i LOVE the TSX. Its a GREAT car. Pretty quick too, not as fast as the cars I mentioned above, but still quick.

I regret getting a black TSX. Specially since the dealer offered another $500 less to take a gray one on the lot. What was I thinking?!!! :'(

I live my TSX!

I swore after I got my Mini Cooper I wouldn't get another first year car, but what did I do? Got rid of the Mini and got a TSX.
Oh well! No Regrets! I love my TSX!

Thought A4 or TSX. A few months later, got the TSX. Now 2 Months 3500 Miles. Loving It. Wished I would have gotten the NAV system though. Future buyers, $2000 more for the NAV well worth it.
