Hey guys I just joined Acurazine.com and just wanted to say hi to those with some nice TSX's out there. So whats up? Im 15 and im lookin to hopefully own a TSX soon.
So if anyone of you have some tips or anything share please.

 

Welcome to the forum, make sure you do some research before buying a TSX. Make sure you test drive it as well. If you are looking for a drag racer, please don't buy the TSX.

 

HAHAH no im not im just lookin for a nice casual car to just cruise around in.

 

Then the TSX is your ride.

 

Finally, a mature youngin. Welcome to the club.

 

welcome
forget TSX
consider Civic
trust me

 

 

surf the threads here, and you'll learn a lot, really quick.

 

Yeah, Civic rule...

 

Unless there is inheritance involved, I'm assuming your parents will buy you the car. I'm through with shaking my head at it (seen one too many freshman in college in BMWs and Audis to care anymore), I hope one day I can afford to get my kids such a nice car.

But please tell me you will take some responsibility and at least help with payments, insurance or gas. Even if its just $20-$50/month, you will enjoy the car more. Trust me. Unlike this kid, https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33563

The TSX is a great car. You'll like the features and the ride of it. I am looking forward to a couple days off at the end-o-the-month and going mountain driving. It will be a first for me.

Drive safe if/when you do get the TSX.

 

Mountain driving in TSX is the best. I live 3 miles from the Blue Ridge Pkwy, it's a weekend activity for me. Enjoy!

And welcome to the forum TSXNewYorker. TSX is a great car. I just made my first payment and I still love it... I had thought writing that check would have been a little depressing, but it wasn't at all.

Welcome to AZine. Read and learn.

 

Welcome young man, you might want to start here (if you haven't already): https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32197

 

how much do you have in your piggy bank?


welcome...btw

 

Have you thought about just getting a warm-up car. Some type of used Civic or Accord? I started driving at 15 and I made a few mistakes until I got a real good feel for the car after a year or so (hitting curbs while parking, door dings, not seeing pot holes, dumb ass friends spilling shit in the back, etc..).

At 15, you are going to do something to jack up the car. Get the experience with a good beater car and then get the TSX at 17 and really take care of it.

 

Welcome to the driving world. If you can get a TSX at age 15, more power to ya. It's good you have the insight to visit a forum such as this one to get advice and learn more about the TSX BEFORE buying it. Welcome

 

I totaled a car 3 days after turning 17. At 31 I just now feel comfortable driving a car as nice as the TSX. It seems an odd pick for a 15-yr old, but hey, if you have the cash, it's better than a Tahoe.

 

Seriously, back when you were 15 and your folks said "Hey, when you can drive, we're going to get you a 320i", would you have said no? Not a chance...

I know what your saying, but I just dont see any kid ever wanting to do this when they have absolutely zero invested.

 

just imagine you are in his position. Would you honestly take a civic over a tsx? Knowing what you know now, you know that would be the wisest decision, but hindsight is 20/20. Every new driver thinks/knows they are responsible enough to take care of a nice car and they will respect and appreciate it to its fullest... even though in reality they wont. There is nothing we can say to change his mind or teach him. All these tips and warnings people are giving him is going through one ear and out the other.

 

I say starting with a bucket is the best path. Easier to learn from and less worry about damaging it. But thats me. Some people can drive well at a young age. As long as it isn't another idiot racing through the lanes trying to race in traffic, it should be fine. Age doesn't really matter in my opinion, hormones and the "need for speed" matters. Drive it safe and calm, and you shouldn't have worries.

BTW, welcome to the forums, and prepare to do some mods as time progresses.

 

You do not know how ture that is. . Besides the TSX will be my warm-up car and I will keep as long as I can. I drove my moms car before in the parking lot of home depot, but she has an 01' Corolla. I handled it pretty well in my mind.

 

But there also weren't car forums to knock some sense into me if it did happen

 

No you won't. yes I know.

 

Im wondering why your on these forums and dising the TSX and telling me to get the civic Just sayin that name gives me the chills.

 

How are you going to pay for the car, either TSX or Civic? Credit card?

 

my dad actually ponied up an extra 10 grand in an effort to buy me a used 325i when iw as 20 over the used altima i paid for myself.

i declined the 325i.

so "yes" is not the answer all the time.

 

a tsx might be too much of a good thing for a 15 year old, but if you can pull it off, more power to you! welcome to AZ. you thinking manual or auto?

 

LOL !!!



yeah sorry '2006 Car of the Year' is just too shitty for you
But again we need more people like your folks to keep cars like TSX a good value
So all power to you, I hope you get it !!

 

Yea, you paid for it yourself. If daddy was going to buy you the BMW straight up and you wouldnt have had to spend any of your own money, you wouldnt have said no. And if you argue that, you're lying.

 

Sorry for the late reply but im not really sure as to which one I want. If my girl wants to drive my car then maybe an auto but if she has her own car then its manual all the way. Make it more fun to drive.

 

IBnevertrustawomanwithyourcar



Just kidding man, definitely manual is the better way to go. =]

But if you really don't know what you're doing, you'll end up in a situation like I saw today coming home from school. Kid in a civic is on a slope at a redlight, doesn't engage correctly, stalls and slams into the bumper of the car behind him. It's not that hard, but yeah, definitely go for the manual

 

Some people need to learn how to drive manual. If you cant handle it dont get it.

 

That's a good boy, now go get a manual. :troutslap

 

if you're into modding, i'm sorry to say, but the manual is the way to go. i figured i was over and done with 3 pedals when i finally bought my tsx, boy was i wrong! i still have the aftermarket addiction that swallowed my civic whole. wish i would've went for the 6 spd instead of everyday convinience

 

Wait, you're 15 in NY. By no means do I want to put you down, but you don't even have a permit yet (so please drive legally), and even after you get a permit you can't even drive yet (you need insurance). Worry about other things for now like actually coming up with some of the money (I pay for my insurance, gas, etc. and 1/3 of the car up front) and learning more about the actual automobile itself and passing the road test. Not to mention school work haha.

 

NY Lotto is your friend, young Skywalker....

 

Is there a minimum age limit for purchansing Lotto tickets?

 

Well hello, welcome to the forums. Im 17 with a 06' black on black AT which i got a few months ago when i was 16. Its a great car IMO, but like everyone is saying, its not a street racing type car. I think its a great first car since it has a great safety rating which should give both you and your parents peace of mind, plus it is an extremely nice luxury automobile. If i were you though, i would make sure and go with the navi since it adds so much more pizzaz and functionality to the car, it is definately worth every penny ( i didnt get it and i regret it every day). Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions about the TSX from one kid to another, or if you want pictures of a specific part of the TSX.

Good luck to you!

 

wise choice there with a tsx young man. juss wondering..wat other cars have u concidered? and deengg..a car already at your age? i mean..i thought i was young gettin one..haha
