After a short wait, my TSX (2005, 5AT/NAVI CGP) has arrived and I am traveling up to South Burlington today to pick it up. There's not many of these in central Vermont and is why I picked it and because I wanted to stick with a Honda having had the same civic for 6 years and 130,000 miles.

I look forward to posting about my first drive, etc. later and to be able to participate in the threads instead of just being a spectator as I've been for about a month now.

I feel like I know so much about the car already. Thanks!

 

Congrats!!! Today's the 1 year anniversery that I've had mine. Love it more everyday.. Good Luck!!

 

Congrats on your new purchase.

 

Congratulations on your new car -- hope you enjoy it as much as I have mine.

 

Thanks. I had my first trip in the snow today in vermont. the VSA light blinked as i ascended to the top of a hill, the elevation changes about 700 feet pretty rapidly and it was quite icy. Its nice to to know the vsa works, the blinking light is alittle distracting trying to focus on the road, though.

The tsx with the stock tires handled ok, but im getting snow tires ASAP.

 

 

pictures please =D

 

the VSA light blinks when the tires loose traction???

haha, i didn't know that...maybe i should floor my tsx on a corner and try to break the tires loose ...

 

Hey wesley, congratulations on your purchase. Even though I purchased my car from Acura of Auburn in Auburn MA, my car was a swap from Lewis Acura in South Burlington!

Looking forward to hearing your impressions of the car.

Hey congrads man!

Where in Vt do you live? I travel down there like twice a week.

 

Congrat's ! I was just writing a cheque for mine eactly one week ago today. Now I am in the process of researching and getting organized for snow tires already.

 

Congrats And Enjoy!!!

 

Thanks for all your kind words!

I'll try to put some pics up. Don't make fun, there's been nothing done to the car execpt for installing a Sirius Antenna on the rear deck covering the keyhole for the rear seat release, it is color matched for CGP, but i decided that i didnt need to mount it on the trunk lid or the roof. While I use the fold down seats, ill never use the key, but instead ill open them from the trunk. I've also bought OEM all weather mats off of eBay and mud gurads off of eBay recently.

I am flattered by my first "this thread is worthless without pics."

Other than that, its all stock, and i'm afraid ti will stay that way.

After 2500 miles in the last four weeks, it's been a real joy.

I think the VSA light came on in response to beginnging to slide off the road. We had a freak noreaster here with uncannily heavy thich snow that caused a lot fo problems and i nervously made the 27 mile commute home over mountainous roads home in one piece.

I am excited that many of the TSX owners here are from Canada which makes feel better about having this car is a snowy area that Vemont can sometimes be.

Thanks again everyone!

 

That's a coincidence!

I bought mine at Lewis and it was a trade from somewhere in New England. I wonder how to find out where it came from?

I dont think they sell a lot of TSX up there in South Burlington. I still havent seen another TSX with VT plates and I drive a lot around the state.

 

As you requested....I hope to update this frequently.

its funny that we all know what a stock TSX looks like but we always want to see pics anyway. nice car by that way what mods are you planning to do

 

I dont know yet. Other than the Sirius install through the inside fold down seat release, which i ran toa receiver in the armrest, i dont know what ill do.
