New to AcuraZine forum
Hey all,
I have been reading and browsing around for some time now and finally decided register and introduce myself to the nice folks here.
I leased my 08 Carbon Grey Pearl with Ebony interior last month and already have around 2,500 miles on it.
My previous vehicle was a 2004 Infiniti G35 coupe which had to be returned to the bank after the lease was up. I wanted to stay in the 30k-35k price range while shopping for my next ride and TSX seemed to be an optimal car for the money.
Infiniti needs to borrow from Acura in terms of cool techy gadgets which came standard on the TSX and were not even offered on the G35.
The gas mileage is excellent compared to what I used to get on the G, which is really nice granted my commute is 100 miles to and from work.
I am looking to become a contributing member of this community and though I have no plans on modding the car (since it is leased) I am already getting some ideas for minor enhancements

Thanks for the welcome.
This is the deal I got (consider teir 1 credit):
$1,400 out of pocket = 1st month payment + bank fee + registration and tags
$345 per month for 36 months tax included in the payment

one question: don't you miss or you must really feel the loss of power coming from a VQ 3.5 V6 to a 2.4 i-VTEC I4 right?
well, for me i'm looking to go to Infiniti from Acura once I get a lot of problems from the TSX. i'm going to look at the G35x and EX35.

The TSX is a great handling car, enjoy it though!

TSX is the ultimate commuter car...the handling did surprise me at first, its very zippy for a sedan. What really sold me though ultimately was the MPG
welcome!

i guess it's not crucial or anything, but it does clutter up the forum.
and maybe it's just me. perhaps others don't feel the same as i do
