My new TSX

Been driving our new Arctic Blue Pearl TSX, 6 speed for about 2 weeks and the wife and I are having a blast! we had test driven a few cars before we made our final choice, including a BMW 325i, very nice but couldn't help but think you're paying a lot of extra money for the BMW name. A Subara Legacy GT, lot's of power, nice road balance, but the durability of the frameless windows made me alittle nervious over years of use, also for that kind of money I want the engine to be smooth even when idling. We aslo picked the TSX over it's bigger brother the TL, just thought the extra money for the additional power and features just didn't justify the cost, don't much like the dash either. And finally a Honda Accord V6, nice power but didn't feel that much quicker than the TSX even though it is, handling is a little soft, just didn't have much sporting feel to it, I guess that why it's a main stream car. Also I still have issues with the styling of the back end.
So why did we buy the TSX. It's great to look at, has nice power, seats 4 with comfort, has standard features others just dream about, it's priced right and it won't break. Oh ya, the engine is ultra smooth, even at idle. Anyway enough for now. See Ya.

I agree man I loved my tsx, it was love at first sight when I saw the tsx come out in 04, I kept doing the research of the car till my parents decided to get me it for a graduation gift (05 Artic Bue Pearl)

I told them the accord is a nice reliable car, but the back lights are fugly.. I like the old gen accord coupes and maybe the new 1.. still not attractive looking.

Wrx sti I was dissappointed at the interior job..

Bmw i'm never a good person with thosr rear wheel drive in ny always sees a bmw on the side of the road with a tire missing

welcome =)

Congrats!

Lucky b@stard! Hard to find ABP/6MT combo! That was my first color choice but the dealership only had a CG/6MT on the lot which was my second choice.

Enjoy!

Mazda6: hmmm not too sure (Ford engine)
BMW 3 series: too rich for my blood
