Talking From a Honda Odyssey to a TSX, WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!

I just got my brand new '06 TSX last week and I must say that this car is amazing. I definetally can't compare my TSX to the Odyssey cause it just wouldn't be fair. The Odyssey would just die. But I must say it feels great to now be able accelerate like mad on the street and not be scared of flipping over or destroying the engine.

Also I think this is a really great forum and it really helped me decide on buying the TSX and I hope to contribute to this forum in the future.

It is a major change from an odyssey to a TSX. Congrats on the purchase!

You were driving a Honda Odyssey at age 20. Were you eager to fit into the soccer mom club that meets every wednesday at 11am for coffee and cake !!

The Odyssey was an '03 i think. It was given me to drive when I first got my license. Didnt really have much of a choice in the matter. But now with a TSX i'm hitting speeds I never would have tried with a van. It feels great!

When i said the odyssey would die is that at the speeds I go at with the TSX I probably would have red lined the rpm on the odyssey and maybe even flipped it at turns. what a difference.

Engine on the Oddy's is bulletproof, you should be more worried about blowing up the trans.
