And it has four doors, which is handy. It remains practical without being dorky. Isn't it heavy? A '04 model with a manual and no navigation is just over 3200 lbs. By some accounts yes this is heavy, but for a car that comes so loaded to the gills with dula zone climate control, 8 airbags, a stock stereo that doesn't <em>need </em>to be replaced, power leather seats, etc...how can you bitch that much about weight? Honda's actually gone to lengths to keep weight down, employing measures such as a Magnesium transmission case (on 6MT models). This car still gets 30+ mph when driven sanely. Let's face it. We like driving. An Civic or Integra with a swap will spank the TSX silly. We want a fun and practical car that we won't be embarrassed taking to the valet.
