Newbie Here! Pics of Old Car!
Hey guys Im new to your site. I have been a member of vwvortex for around 4 years though. Unfortunately, after receiving my degree I needed a car that is in that entry level luxury departmtent. I think the TSX will be a great choice. However, after having a heavily modified 01 Jetta 1.8t I really am worried I am going to have a hard time with the limited power of the TSX. My Jetta dynoed at 198hp and 246ft/lbs, so it was pretty fast. I want to hold out and get a TL, but the price is just a little much for me right now.
Thoughts and comments??
Sorry for the small images.
And a pic of my friends Jetta

when/if you decide to get the tsx, you shouldn't have a problem with power, theres comptech s/c and i'm sure a turbo kit will be released sometime in the next year or two....the K24 motor has a lot of potential i think
def get a 6-spd

I work for a mortgage lender and I have to give price quotes over the phone and shifting and trying to do that at the same time tends to be a pain in my ass!

Sweet ride you got there.
You could always just go test drive a TSX and that'll let you know whether or not it has sufficient power for your needs.
As for getting an auto when you want a manual, getting a handsfree headset should do the trick because dont you know you shouldn't be quoting rates over the phone?
You haven't pulled the credit, you dont know what doc type they have to go, you dont know the situation. What if you quote a rate and then you can't honor it? Then you're screwed!
I'm a loan officer myself. I will never actually quote a rate until a credit has been pulled and iv'e taken a full application. It's just not worth the risk. You'll have a lot of PO'ed clients that later on find out they dont actually qualify for the rate you quoted them. Just a credit score isn't enough to justify qualifying at a certain rate. There's a lot more to it, there's LTV, DTI, job stability, amount of reserves in the bank... etc... lots of variables.
Sorry for the thread hijack...
nice ride though.

Second, I quote rates over the phone because I work on the wholesale side. I am an AE with Saxon Mortgage. We are a subprime lender. As an L.O. depending on if you work with for a bank or not, you will already have that info ready for a wholesale A.E. Thus, I am able to quote rates over the phone.
Trust me when I say I quote exact rates based on what the loan officer has told me about his/her clients.

Your right though, Hondas/Acuras just feel slower because of the lack of torque, even though they may be fast.

By all means! Driving and being on the phone is much less than a good idea. It's a no-brainer.Please get the 6MT and get off the phone before you kill someone.

She cut me off and made me spill the hot coffee I had between my thighs, and I had to drop my shaver to grab the wheel since I just happened to be adjusting the stereo with my other hand. On top of that I nearly choked on the sandwich I had in my mouth.
Damn cell phone drivers.
