I am getting a TSX for christmas and i was just wondering how it drives and take turns? can someone give me some info on this

 

Your 15? Getting a $30,000 car as a christmas gift? And want to know how well it takes turns?

 

easy answer....take a test drive, thats next to impossible to answer, but if i had to say, it drives very well.

.....and nice x-mas present.

 

ya i get my license soon and my parents decided to just get it now! so yes i guess im a lucky kid

 

I'm up for adoption.

 

Same here,.....maybe we can go as a pair.

 

if it was only that simple...

 

They would have to adopt me over the internet, when they see I'm 65 I'm sure the deal would fall through.

Seriously Christmas=TSX, congratulations, what a wonderfull Christmas present. Things have changed, I remember getting a pair of mittens for christmas.

 

i'll be the first,

since you're asking this question = 15 years old, lack of experience, TSX will be owned.

 

Can I get in on this deal?

 

The 3 series BMW's and the TSX drive "differently", compared to most cars. Everything seems to work well together.

Spend some time in a go-kart, and read your Bondurant On High Performance Driving - twice!

 

I had to work so hard for my TSX and this kid just gets them for free, whats this world coming to.

 

Some people are born with a silver spoon in their mouth.... sadly I was not.

 

I agree. im jealous as a motherf....

 

15????
WTF!!??

sorry dude, shoulda gone w/ the new civic si coupe....
what the hell does this kid care about memory seats???

 

Maybe his parents wanted a safer/less sporty car for him.

 

Sounds like a fake User registration :gheyfight: :ghey: :gheylaugh:

 

ultra-gay....here i am saving money to afford the TSX and this 15 years old is getting one for Christmas. He's probably the kind that gets $100 for each B on his report card. I got a spanking if I didn't get higher than a B on my report card when I was in high school....

 

Well regardless, I think he was effectively scared away

 

yay

 

lol, i've seen worst though. You get all these punk kids around my area who does crack and smoke up all the time, high most of the time, never in class, in HS for their 6th year driving blinged up escalades, bmw's, mercedes. Some parents need to be more aware of their kids actions...

Even though I'm getting a tsx also from my parents - im 19, I'm very grateful for it. I'm also not one of those punk idiot kids so hopefully i'll bring good to this world in my future...

 

ah, the luck of some people.

 

Well, it drives like a dream.

Your one lucky dude!!!

 

i wish i get something like that for christmas too!!
i think lexus is350 will be nice!!

anyways i know one kid that got brand spanking new Evo MR for just getting a license... parents bought him a Evo when this kid dont even know how to drive stick!! damn~

i get to drive his Evo once a while and its a blast to drive. so fast compared to my auto tsx.. haha... damn...

 

Is there a difference between REALLY REALLY rich parents who get their kid a TSX, or an average earning income family getting their kid a used civic.

This just reminds me of that MTV show called "my sweet 16". If you see some of these girls and their crazy demands makes this 15 year old kid look good!

"if my dad doesnt get me a Range Rover for my bday i will never speak to him"
"this is a used car, Ewwwww"
15/16 year old brats, i do not blame them, but their parents

 

This same thread happens on every single forum at one point or another. And I always feel the need to throw my hat in the ring...

I'm actually very happy to see that only a few people have been negative about his age, most are just surprised. On most forums, people would've blasted his parents, him, his friends, possibly where he lives and maybe the blue moon because he's 15 and getting their car.

Parents who have worked hard and paid their dues shouldn't be chastised for wanting to get very safe (and most of the time, more expensive) cars for their kids. I really hope this guy (as well as other people that have this good fortune) pay at least some part of the price of the car. It makes one appreciate it that much more.

this kid seems like hes a good guy, didn't come in here bashing at us when we said he was lucky.

I know that my super sweet 16 show you're talking about. one of the girls actually said "I worked so hard my life I deserve this" <- gimme a break, nobody deserves a 100,000 dollar party...Some people can afford one, some people like them, but thats a different story.

I just hope this guy takes good care of it. Unlike that guy that went mudding in one =P
Hopefully hes one of those kids that are inspired to do more because of fortunate events.

 

Easy now. It's not his fault that his parents can afford to get him a car like that.

 

When I was 16, my father bought me a 20 year-old Triumph. I soon realized that there were a series of "lessons" that he was trying to teach me: life is expensive even with free stuff, but if you can figure out how to fix it you'll save a fortune and you'll learn that you can learn to do more than you thought you could do, and have fun doing it, too.

 

stop the hating.

It drives great

 

We've had very good fortune throughout working life (in our 40s now). Our oldest daughter turned 16 this past year, and we certainly could have run out and bought her a new car, but what kind of real-life training would that be?

She has a job (oh no! actual work!) and is saving for something like a '97 Civic with 100,000+ miles on it, probably be about $4000 or so. We'll match her funds as our first car 'gift' to her (this will be a surprise for her), and she's getting pretty close to the $2000 mark, so not too much more of a wait for her.

Hopefully this kid has his/her head on straight regardless of the parental extravagance. The first car that you'll fully enjoy is the one that you've actually earned.

 

My father told me a story about a friend of his, who as a teenager was given a Maserati Ghibli by his father; within a couple of weeks, he had stuffed the Maserati into the back of a truck, on a highway: the car didn't survive - another lesson learned!

 

When a 15 year old kid gets a car handed to him and comes to a forum to ask "how it handles" that bothers me. He's getting a free car, not only should it's performace capabilities not matter, but he shouldn't be in the interests of finding out the limits of those capabilities. It gives the impression that he will not care for this car very well, when truthfully, he should.

 

the kid is lucky, but it's not like there's anything wrong with a tsx for a gift (mine kinda was). i think even with a good head on your shoulders, you should start with a cheaper car just to get the experience, which takes years especiallly when you're a teenager. but hey, if your parents can afford the insurance premiums....

 

seems the guy left...i really think the user just registered for no reason, look at his name? we should lock this

 

But back on topic, i too want to know as i do not have the good fortune of owning a TSX (yet)

How fun is it really driving this car?

Is it one of those cars when you get in to it to go wherever you have to, you would say "Man, what a riiide!!"
or

Is it a car when going on a small road trip you would say "Lets take my TSX!!!"

 

 

ok if u know for sure you;re gonna be buying a TSX and ur asking how it drives, dude...go to the f-ing dealers and do a damn test drive...sheesh. well then again for Christmas=TSX, i guess ur not old enough to but im here to tell u the car drives like shit

consider urself lucky anyway. i didnt drive until i was 17 and i got my mom's accord. and now that i finally am able to get a TSX after college, im making all the payments.

 

Let me put it this way: After owning my TSX for almost 2 years, I still look forward to driving it whenever we go somewhere, anywhere.

I have no rattles, my sound system sounds great. It has decent pick-up off the line and very good power as the revs build. It hugs corners, its easy to pick any line through a turn. I'm equally happy cruizing at 85mph on I-5 as I am taking the twisties at 45mph on CA1. In my minds eye, its a sports car when I want to feel sporty, a luxury car when I want to feel pampered, and an everyday family hauler when I have rear seat passangers or need to fold the rear seat down to haul large items.

 

It handles like a champ, baby! The TSX has wonderful precise steering that responds beautifully to your slightest inputs, without feeling twitchy mind you, and the car takes a marvelous set in corners, inspiring confidence to push harder than you probably should.

The TSX has a very solid, planted feel. It may not be quite at the level of the vaunted 3 series, but it's all you really need for 8-9/10ths street driving. Please get the car with a manual transmission, as this only enhances the experience. Sorry, BMW, the TSX MT blows the E90's rubbery, notchy gearbox away!

The TSX accomplishes all this in stock form, with crappy all season tires. A couple of tweaks, such as A-Spec suspension (or coilovers), summer tires and a RSB, and you pretty much have a handling monster on your hands.

After two years, I'm happier than ever with my TSX, warts and all!

Man. When I was 16 I was driving a 1965 Beetle.
