Talking Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Saturday I picked up a CG/quartz 6MT w/ Navi. I have followed the TSX since Feb 03 and have been an active member here (and at the previous forum) ever since. I am almost bought the exact same combo this summer, TWICE. They had the same combo at both dealerships near me, but I didn’t bite. Instead I waited and placed the car on order 11/05/03. Now it is nearly 4 months later it is all mine. It has certainly been a very long wait.

My TSX is everything I thought it would be and more. I drove it off the lot with only 6.5 miles. So far on the trip computer I am getting better than 25 mpg in mixed driving. I will just have to see what the actual mileage is when I fill up. From the many reports of bad mileage for the 6MT on this forum must say I am delighted that mine doesn’t appear to have that problem. Maybe I up-shift at lower rpm than some?

Actually I am totally delighted. The car has surpassed my expectations in every way. No rattles! Beautiful styling in and out! Voice recognition and Navi work great, no glitches. Great sound system! Good mileage! Smooth! Quiet! Great handling! Damn, is it fast!

It is an improvement in every area over my previous car, a 1993 Acura Vigor GS 5MT. And I absolutely loved my Vigor.

I am a very proud papa. Here are my first pics!!

Way to go! I have the EXACT same car, down to the foglights. This car rocks. Wait till you break it in, you're going to love downshifiting to third from sixth while cruising down the highway going 65 mph. That puts you to around 4700 RPM and what a blast!

I am still going to baby it for a while. I have only got it above 4500 rpm once. That of course was a lot of fun.

Congrats, PR. It's been a long time coming, but I'm sure you'll agree that it was worth the wait.

P.S. Does she have a name?

Congrats!!!

Been waitin' since Dec '02 myself. Latest cause for delay: accumulating wealth for a house downpayment.

That's a beautiful vehicle you got there (just watch out for those glass bumpers!! :-) )

Sweet ride! I glad you finally got her. Just remember to watch your speed because you tend to go faster than you think your going.
