Talking I love this car

I just brought home my baby. I love it more now than ever, its an amazing piece of machinery. From a guy who has never owned a Japanese car before, I'm sold. Rides beautifully, and it has more punch then its given credit for - even an auto like mine.

I'm an audiophile as well, and I am impressed with the stock system. Might not sound all-world, but what it lacks in power it makes up for in clarity.

Anyone else have any opinions on their new purchases ?

Congrats....Glad to hear you love the car. I hope that I will get my car soon.

If you don't mind me asking, where and how much did you pay for your car? I am in NYC, and wanted to see what price I could get if I had to start looking again.

so do you mean the 360 watt system doesnt really pack a punch as far as bass goes? the TL-S i drive has a pretty low wattage system, but it has a sorta mini woofer in the back that packs a pretty decent punch for the wattage. i was wondering how the TSX system is.

Well its only 360 watts max output, what you really have to look at is RMS power, which is probably somewhere around 200. Nonetheless, it sounds damn good, much more than I would expect from a stock system. I may add a sub later, but for now there is just enough thump to make me leave it alone.

Picked mine up Sat. Love it, why does anyone buy anything other than Honda/Acura. The attention to detail is incredible for a ~$26K car.

My only concerns was the lower torque. I came from a V6 Accord, so it is a step down in pwer for me, but the step up in style, handling, and sportiness more than make up for it.

I finally got mine on Tuesday after waiting 6 weeks for it to come in. I am truly impressed with the car.

The power is more than enough if you know how to drive a manual transmission car properly. I love the gearbox in this car. It's been a tough week at work waiting all day to get back behind the wheel... : )

I know what you mean Rally. From my office I can see my TSX in the parking lot, and its calling to me. I think I may need medication.
