Got a 2008 TSX as a loaner today. Bone Stock 5AT.

Nice Car.

Seats were really good - well bolsterd.

Definetly peppier than I thought, even though I've heard other say it.

Turns pretty well. Some body roll, but not bad. Didn't get to push too hard due to rain throughout the day.

The 4-cyl isn't "whiny"; it's got a bit of low growl to it. Although your AT could use a 6-speed auto with shorter gearing.

Loved the trip computer readouts and the guage cluster was nice. Although I'm used to my speedo being ~90* different than yours. I kept looking down and the needle was in my "40 position", but I was doing 60 or 70. That'd take a little getting used to.

When a dumbass in some mega-SUV or another pulled out in front of me, I had the oppotunity to test the airbags and safety systems.

Instead I decided to test the brakes. They're good.

Anyhow, I can see why you all like the car so much. Some mods for susp and power and I'm sure it's a blast.

You know what'd be cool? Mid-Model refresh with a TSX Type-S. Put the current J32 from the 3G TL at ~258 HP in it and you guys would have some real fun.

 

bearcat, wait til you go for a ride in my tsx. all the above issues have been addressed to some degree. c u on the 17th!

 

V, I've seen your signature.

You've got FrankenTSX - I'm not riding in that Hot Rod unless you buy me an insurance policy.

 

BTW, nice review!
