I had been looking for a car when my brother bought a RSX-S, and I was impressed. After some research, I bought my 04 6MT CGP about 16 months ago while I was out of town, and I have been enjoying it everyday including the 860 mile drive home.
I have added the OEM bodykit and Aspec suspension through Group Buys , 18" RonJon Inspires, and tinted the windows. I might consider Hondata after the warranty, but I love it the way it is.
Obviously no regrets!

I love this car but I think I should've spent my money more wisely and picked up a Civic or Accord. Especially now that I'm out of college and about to purchase a condo having an extra $10 grand would've been nice =)
I'm just planning on riding my car out for another 3 years or so before making an upgrade.

Yes, I regret getting my TSX.
I regret the fact that the TSX is such a great car (with all the mods), that everyone I know wants to trade me their car for mine. Hahaha! Overall, I am extremely happy with it. It compliments everything else in my garage.

I love my car and I cannot wait to get the new model if they improve the HP. That is really the only thing I want more of. I can never have enough GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO in my car!

I actually really like my '06 TSX, I'm just a little miffed to see orange spots all within the trunk lip.
I suppose it isn't anything a little rubbing compound and elbow grease won't fix, but I definitely hope that I can find a permanent solution to make it go away.

I feel the need...
Have owned my SSM 5AT since May '04 and no regrets after almost 40,000 miles.
Sure, sometimes I yearn for a bit more power and occasionally wish I'd chosen 6MT - but overall it's an outstanding car.

That is a real neat avatar ABP-CL9-TSX Most original one I've seen for a TSX owner.
I voted no regrets either. Honestly, this is a car I can see myself owning for 10+ years..... unless I fall head over heels for the new one.
It's just such a great all-around performer (not too big, not too small; good power, good gas mileage; excellent handling, but not uncomfortable ride, sporty but understated elegant look; quality/reliability, timeless styling, etc.)

I love getting in my car and driving it every day.
Still, sometimes I can't figure out if I'm modding the crap out of my car because I made the wrong choice or because modding is so addicting......

Since you guys all seem really pleased with your TSX's, I figure I'll ask this question here.
How do you guys like the K24A2 in the TSX? How does the car feel?
Currently I have a 06 RSX Type S and love the car but wish it had some of the options the TSX has. Aka HIDs, Navi, Bluetooth, heated seats, homelink, auto-dimming mirror, etc etc. Essentially all the luxury options that an Acura should come with but for some reason they were never put into the RSX. I love the K20Z1 in the car and the feel of it screaming up to redline in VTEC but still wish it had those extra options that the TSX has, which makes me consider trading it in sometime soon for a 07 TSX 6 speed.
For those who have the TSX 6 speed, how fast does the car feel? If you have driven the RSX-S, how does it compare? Thats my only main concern that since the TSX is heavier, the performance will be less than what im currently at with my RSX.
Thanks guys.

Yep, there are plenty of complaints, and even from me haha. I do wish I had gotten the 6MT as well, but I'm completely satisfied with the 5AT too. I just love getting in my car everyday, unless some artard decides to rear end me for the 4th time now or hit my car in a parking lot and run.

Regrets?
None. However...
Doors -- I must say that the sound made by my doors when they close don't sound right. I may take to the dealer to make sure they're on all right.
Wiper Blades -- The wiper blades from the factory are way too noisy. My Civic had quieter sweeps across the windshield. I'm getting those changed out the next chance I get so that'll be resolved.
Things I wish the TSX had....
Keyless Start
MP3 CD Changer
But no regrets whatsoever! This car is the bomb.

I traded an 04 Tl for the 06 TSX about a year ago.
The car is nimbler and sportier than the TL but doesnt have as much power - but it has enough!
I feel there is more road noise and as the previous poster said, the dorrs sound tinny when they close. But no real complaints or regrets.
The 07 G35 sedan does look kinda suhweet though....

If the TSX works out in the next year or so my oldest daughter will get this as her 1st car (to drive to school) and then I'll get a new TL.
So far the TSX was a good decision...

I definitely have a few regrets. I definitely should have checked on parts and labor costs for repairs. It's through the roof. I would possibly been better off paying for parts and labor on an audi or porsche. I like my TSX okay, but it doesn't thrill me like it initially did.

Not an Ashtray
My TSX has nearly 60,000 miles on it. The ONLY regrets that I might have is that 1) Sometimes I think I should have waited for the TL, 2) I still think the ride is too stiff and busy. But, the car has been hyper reliable, still love the way it looks, still find it really comfortable.
Its been a fun car to own!
