TSX obsession..Why??
This isnt right:'(
I figured i took care of my "itch" a year and a half ago by buying an RSX-S. The new car i had before that (89 CRX Si) i loved and kept for over 12 years. So you see, I am not one of those people that buys every 2-3 years if i'm happy. Any other Ex RSX owners out there that are now in a TSX? If so, are you totally happy with your decision or do you miss your RSX??
Why am i so obsessed with this little four door? I cant get it outta my mind!!. Does it make sense ($$$) to trade up so soon?
What are my possible options??
Help

Sorry, couldn't resist.
Didn't have an RSX, but, was a chronic Acura guy -- had an '03 TL-S, which I got in Feb. 2002, and before that, an '88 Legend for 14 years (count 'em). I sort of looked at the RSX before I got the TL-S, also looked at just about everything else at that time.
But nothing did it like the TSX. I couldn't wait to get rid of my TL-S for the TSX, and, no regrets. And even though the new TL seems like it's sweet, it'll have a hard time tearing me away from the TSX.
So, you've got company. But, that doesn't mean you're being reasonable. After all, maybe we're not either.

Spent about a year looking at cars... but couldn't find one that fit all my needs. I liked the G35 but for the price... I didn't feel it was a good value. I was going to end up getting a 2yo GS300. Then one day I was looking at kbb.com and I saw the TSX and I not only liked the styling... I realized I could get one LOADED for about $25K. Bought one the next day.

As for me.... I like TSX before it was released. In april when I need a new car, I couldn't afford TSX (got a lot of bills to pay :p). I went with Mazda6 I4 instead. 4 months later, my wife totaled my M6 on hwy(lucky she came out fine). I was thinking about getting another M6 but my wife was psychologically scared with M6. I then told her, if no more M6, only the more expensive TSX will satisfy me.
Here I am. A new TSX owner.

I owe 4 grand on my Harley still, i guess i will wait until it is paid off and then look out, TSX here i come!!!!! This should only take me around 6 months. By then, hopefully i wont have to wait for what i want either. (5AT, Nav, Red) I am a loyal honda acura guy too and wont bother 'shopping around'; all other car brands are big pieces of shit if you ask me....LOL

Being rational isn't always fun, however.

I hear ya. I'm not a previous RSX owner, but I just bought a volvo in May'02. It is a good car, minus some small front end issues, but I just had to have the TSX once I saw it.
Its quite an extra chunk of out my wallet each month (vs $0), but I'm ok with that.
