The TSX is definitely family-friendly, and it's one of the very few 4-door sedans that you can still get with a 6MT (hopefully, that will still be true two years from now).

Two years from now there will be all kinds of different alternatives available, so don't worry about it now. I'd just enjoy the STi for the next few years and make the most of it. It must be a really fun car to drive!

The STi is my favorite car, and is definitely a blast to drive. I know plenty of guys that are married with kids, that still have a STi, and use it as their family car. Marriage or not with or without kids. It's your decision, but I'd say drive the STi of what it's worth, then if you really think the change is necessary, then do so and get the TSX. For now, enjoy the STi.

S14 n Tsx

lmao. You got two year plus few more years (unless, you want to have a child right after your marriage). I say stick with STi for few more years and trade in for 08 tsx or something else. Its kind of early for yourself to do that. You will be very disappointed with performance on tsx compare to your STi.

iluvmytsx

Well for sure iam going to get rid of it next year right around aug...let see the new tsx,and well i just dont want a sports car any more...it to bumpy and if i have kids it not a good car for them you...and i dont want to mod any more thanks all for your replys..iam going to keep it for now and just save money and stuff but i love tsx too much

si2tsx

you should check out the TL type S

iluvmytsx

I check it out but it too much out of my range i want to keep it in the 31 thnaks thow

psteng19

There's not much more rear seat room in the TSX over the STi.
Keep the STi and save some money because you'll probably get raped on the trade in.

Since you are going to get married and have kids, I would suggest the Odysses.=p

EuRTSX

Oh heavens no

1slowTSX

Why not!

Mokos23

Just do it! Nike

acn684

i say wait till the new tsx comes out, sti's are a blast to drive.

iluvmytsx

Going to keep the sti till next year to see how the 08 TSX look......the main reason is the ride its to stiff of a car ...and tsx are hotness

That's a damn nice car. I'd keep it personally. As good as the TSX is, you'll get nowhere near the performance out of it as the STi. Just more refinement and comfort.

How stiff is the ride in your car?

iluvmytsx

Well i had it stock for a while and it was stiff...my furture wife started to complan and i drive about 100 miles a day so it suck..and now i have tein flex/edfc and it got so much worst and i dont no what to do any more i autocross on the week end so i have all of the suspenstion hook up,front rear sway bars..25mm/end link front&rear,h-brace, struts everything..so it made it worst and i dont want a second car..can aford it so i need only one car just to be happy with and my soon to be family me and my wife,,in about 1 year and them kids you know what i mean thanks every one for your opnion and help it make my life easyer

rugbybrado

why donty you worry about tha tone when you have kids.

juicygirljen

Aww you're getting married in two years?

CarbonGray Earl

Keep it. I had a 98 Gen 3 Integra throughout my daughters first 2 years and we were fine. The STi is a little bigger than that, so you'll be okay for the first kid. You can put the rearward facing seat in the middle. However if you have 2 kids, like I now have, putting a rearward facing seat behind the passenger seat will eat up space even in the TSX. I'm just lucky my wife is 5'2"...

stphy32

I would do what everyone is suggesting and wait until your future wife actually has the child. I have an '05 TSX and my boyfriend has an '05 STi... and I get extremely bored driving my TSX, after I have been in his (even in just the passenger seat!).... 100HP+ difference & no turbo makes the TSX seem b-o-r-i-n-g.... don't get me wrong, I love my car and TSX interior > STi anyday

I may even trade in my TSX for a Leg GT spec. B

Mokos23

Whoa, welcome back stphy!

Did Moda_way unban her?

offset_98

What the....
Keep it! Its two years away! ...and then keep it another year after that!

Ride Slow Homey

its scary how fast your car looks in pictures.. parked

Mockenrue

I was suprised at how easy the Spec B is to find now. There were no regular Legacy GTs within several hours drive of Pittsburgh a month ago, but there were two spec B's (one of which was bought by a co-worker based in part on my recomendation). They are just sitting on the lots...

By the way, good to see you somewhere that isn't "there".

Iam just going to wait to see the 08 tsx,ya its fasty cobb stage 2 protuned...dyno at 310 and 367 to the wells......

umhaha84

lol guy in my class got his STI stolen, it almost made me cry

stphy32

please bring the Leg STi here!!!

JDMPLUS

if you want luxury more than power and speed then you will definitely like the TSX.

But i'm telling you, you might miss the power....


Thanks

First of all, congrats on getting engaged!

I think I can see how driving 100 miles per day and having a fiance that's sick of the ride can make you want to give up the STi

The TSX will give you the refinement and comfort you want. You just have to make sure you will be okay with the huge power drop. Otherwise another car I'd suggest for you is the new Infinit G35.

I loved the TSX so much, nothing could make me smile more than it did. (tested E90 325i, IS 250, Legacy GT) Sometimes when you love something so much, only that one will do. :grin:

Overtaxed

Addendum: For an even more comfortable ride, try the IS if you haven't already. Your fiance may like that one the best. My hubby doesn't like firm rides, so the TSX was still "very" firm to him, and IS was most palatable. It's a fine sports sedan.

nauticapinoy

I agree the IS is a nice comfy ride solid car too...

My sister has IS250 and ride is soooo smooth and comfy. If I had a family I would choose IS over TSX but w/o, TSX is all the way.

You might consider a wagon when you have a child.


don't bother with those ugly small wheels. The car looks like a dork with those wheels, but if you can put bigger wheels and drop, it would look nice.

Since there is no TSX wagon in US, you might want to consider VWs, Audis, older IS/Altezza wagon.

But back to your original qs, depending on what you really want. Since I always like the look of the TSX, I probably would trade it in. Hoping, can get the TL down the road. However, stick with your STi is not a bad idea at all...since it's also a hot car.

Good luck...

With a one-year old and another on the way, I wish they brought that bad boy to the states with the 2.2 i-CTDi... in Milano Red, of course!

To the OP, good luck with marriage and a baby at 21... You must be very organized and/or good at identifying what you want. I can barely handle it all at 36.

super4

STI... but anyway, maybe wait and go for the 09, AWD, turbo and all the luxury, hopefully relaibility.
