Been A Year...and I'm Lovin' It!!!

Well, my TSX's 1 year anniversary has come and gone, and I must say that I'm still in love with this car!

Unlike many others on this forum, I've had no problems with my car (except for a squeaky clutch - which was easily fixed with a quick lube job). I've had no rattles...no problems with the breaks...the tires are great...the radio reception is fantastic...and I think the sound system is awesome!

My TSX has survived a Saskatchewan Winter with -50 Celcius temperatures and 2 road-trips to Edmonton & Jasper National Park (if you ever get the chance, drive the road up to Miette Hot Springs - incredible! Remember: 50 km/h is just a suggestion ).

I still get many compliments and "oohs" & "ahhs" over my car, most recently while in Jasper at the Columbia Icefields; I was walking back up from a hike and discovered an entire group of high school guys (about 17 years old) drooling over my TSX...they all wanted to know about "how it really goes, eh?". Meanwhile, the riced up Mitsubushi (lime green with a giant spoiler...pics to follow) was getting no love at all!

My dealership (Dilawri Acura in Regina) has been awesome...big love to Garth & the whole crew - always friendly and willing to answer any question I've got (no matter how stupid) and help out in any way.

So, I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm happy and plan on many years of driving with my super-sexay TSX!

Cheers!

I just thought it would be nice to see a positive post on here rather than all the my-car-rattles-and-my-stereo-doesn't-work-and-my-clutch-squeaks-and-I've-got-rust-and-my-seat-slides-when-I-brake posts...might give some hope to people who're thinking of buying this car.

Yes , stone chips are a fact of life, especially with the newer water based environmentally friendly paints.
After 6 months and a daily 100 mile commute my TSX has two.
My parents new Mercedes ML350 is less than a month old and already has a new stone chip on it.

How many miles or kilometers do you have on the car Gomez?

Also, are there any pics available of your car. Red is growing on me as of late.

Same here. 1st birthday today, and though I have had some issues covered by warranty, I can still say I'm extremely satisfied as a whole with the car.

Let's see how it's gonna be in a year from now.

Sauceman:

80,000 kilometers in one year? I just did the conversion. It is the equivalent of 49,709 miles. WOW!

Gomez:

Thanks for the link.

It has been some very enjoyable mileage!
