I've noticed....
it's been one hell of a bitch-fest in here! Is there really nothing else to bitch about this car that we are now nit-picking every little extraneous detail, which by the way, just about every other luxury brand experiences? Well, maybe not Lexus.
Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch. A more appropriate URL would be AcuraBitch.com. "Everything you need to know in order to bitch about you Acura."
[takes deep breath]
Just though I'd bitch about everyone bitchin in here, since I have virtually run out of things to bitch about my TSX.

I think its entertaining to listen to people bitch about how their headliner is not perfect, or there is too much cabin noise, or the stock tires are crap, or they wish they got the 6MT instead of the 5AT, or etc etc etc.
Then you could be like this poor chap who really does have something to bitch about.

I've noticed that when i turn the A/C off it actually takes a second or two for the cold air to stop blowing out of the vents. That is a waste of energy and probably reduces my gas mileage. 
The Acura service advisor was totally rude to me and told me to "Get a 
life!" What's that 1-800 number to Acura corporate. I want a new car.

all cars have problems. And if you think about it. You are gonna hear about more problems when you are on an internet forum and then probably hear them yourself... (for example, I never thought my car was loud but since everyone has been talking about the cabin noise I feel like I'm going deaf 
)

To expand on that point I think people create so many problems... I'm guilty of it as well but it happens. We love our cars so much we notice every little thing.
I got my windows tinted a couple weeks ago and when I was driving the car back I SWORE there was an engine noise that wasn't there before. I was watching them the whole time, they never even had the hood up (obviosuly! it was a tint job!) but it took me days to convince myself nothing could be wrong.
And then people get all indignant when the dealer can't hear the same noises they do. I def think its because the dealer has normal ears and we have super ears when it comes to our cars. just my

if you keep hearing about all the minor imperfections, you too will soon believe you are experiencing it. happens all the time.
normal for humans to feel this way, like when some people feel like they have every disease known to man, b/c, well, all they read and hear about are diseases...

We've had new and used cars/trucks. At least the TSX doesn't shake (I mean REALLY
) or bounce, you really got to listen for any noise b/c it's quiet, it accelerates when you ask it to, it looks awesome, etc...Yeah - I can nitpick. I can tell you a list of things that I don't like - but compared to the problems I've had before.... THEY ARE REALLY MINOR. No point even bitching about it.

Just picked up my 05 A-Spec 6MT a week ago and I have to say that I love this car! I've read all of the threads about cabin noise and I don't know what everyone is complaining about. I've heard one tiny rattle, but the car as a whole is 100% quieter than any other car I've ever driven. The handling and acceleration is on par with my old 95 GSR and I like it even better than the 02 WRX that I had! Thanks for putting out yet another great vehicle Honda!

Yeah, no car is perfect and to be honest the TSX comes pretty close.

So why all of a sudden the change of heart? You were/are the poster child for complaints on this car...

i've noticed our TSX isn't a "rare" car anymore.
some people in the past whine about i bought the TSX cause i wanted to be more exclusive and rare car. it was rare about a yr or two ago cause of the lack of advertising of the car and it's a new model.
i don't care if the TSX isn't rare anymore, a lot of people are beginning to take notice the TSX is a better deal than the TL and you get a lot of car for your money.
where else can you get a "luxury" brand car that's made in japan reliability with all these options and navi for under $30K? lexus, nope, infiniti, nope, bmw, yeah right.
