Thinkin about buying new TSX?

wats up guys? I am thinking about purchasing a 06 tsx with navi. I have an 01 CL type-s and its giving me nuttin but headaches. The transmission is going on it I know its covered under warranty but dont want to deal with it. My question is, is it really that much slower then the CL. I know if I purchased the tsx i would definetly get an intake and headers. How is this car you think I should stick with the CL or is the tsx worth it?, I really like the style of the tsx and the features it comes with. Also Ive been searchin and seein a lot of people havin rattling issues with the comptech headers, I hope its not everyone. Thanks guys.

Hmmm tough decision. If the tranny is going out and it's under warranty, I'd get it repaired. Afterward if you like the TSX, then trade in the CL for it.

I agree. If your CL has tranny issues when you sell/trade it, you're not going to get very much. Since it's under warranty, let Acura take care of it.

If you care a lot about power, my suggestion would be to test drive both the tsx and tl and see which you like better.

I would say not to buy the TSX If the first question you have is "is the TSX fast enough?" the answer is probably no.

I agree with Gibson6594....if power is mainly what you're looking for then your looking at the wrong model. Check on the TL this may be the car for you!!

I would get the TL but the money is tight, I like the look of the tsx so much better then the TL, Ill probly sell my CL and get the TSX and then put some goodies on it

if the 1st question is related to horses and/or torque....

you should look at something else. or go test drive the TSX to see a comparison.
