with something else, what would it be?

Reason i ask is that my buddy is looking for a 4 door car with navi and leather for around 20-24k. He found a few TSX that he really likes for around 30k miles. Is there anything he should be aware of while looking at used ones?

Are most of you happy with the tsx or wish you bought somthing else instead?

 

if i could replace it, i would consider a legacy gt 5mt.

can't confirm whether i would indeed make the switch, but, i think it would make a good comparison...

 

Audi A4 or a BMW 330i, maybe a C class? Volvo, they have hot cars out. Infiniti?

I like the TSX sometime, but then some days I hate it.

 

Why hate it?

Car seems like a bargain when used even. Leather with navi and such for around 20-24k is hot for a 2004 model.

 

Audi A4

 

If I could replace it, I'd replace it with a PWP 6MT TSX.

 

You don't say??

Me, I got bored of my 04 AT TSX so I replaced it with an 06 MT TSX.

Honestly, I drove so many cars when I wanted to get back into the MT and nothing really impresses me as much as the TSX. A few cars came close, but none of them were enough to actually beat out the TSX on what mattered the most to me.

 

When I first got it, I was happy. It was a nice car, had everything I needed for how much I paid. Then, for me, it went meh. Didnt give me huge rush when I drove it like I used to.

But, I would buy it. Not a bad car, just needs RWD and more power

 

Oh thats ok in our case, hes not crazy about speed anyways. Just wants a nice reliable cruiser.

 

I know one thing, I would never get an A4. They are worst peices of shit ever to be created on Gods green Earth. Worthless crappy cars I tell you and only a completely mornic idiot would ever drive one.


Yes, I know Crazy has one, that's the point

 

Just assure him that it's about 10 times more reliable than your Audi.

 

Speaking of which, when i open my sunroof... the car then decides to close it.

My car thinks of my health and doesnt want me to catch a cold.

 

Yeah, what has kept me away from Audi so far is it's atrocious reliability reputation. It has steered me into buying the TSX, and at this day I would probably repeat with another TSX if I had to.

 

 

g35c
is350
bmw330ci

 

Even though it might have small glitches here and there.. its still a blast to drive.

Not like the tranny will blow and leave me stuck somewhere.

Guessing the TSX doesnt have issues with their autotranny?

 

Sounds like your asking 2 different questions here. If I were to replace my TSX, trying to fit your critera of a 4 door car with navi and leather, I would take the TSX again.

But, if I were to replace my car right now, it would be a G35C...Though it might be possible next year for me to replace the TSX with an RDX...

 

If speed isn't a concern then I can't think of a better choice. Its stylish, handles extremly well, good on gas and reliable. You'll find that 99% of TSX cmplaints are power related.

 

i wish mine came with aishwarya rai

 

Nope. Good try, crazy.

 

Does the girlfriend know about this obsession?

 

She only likes rich Indians, really

 

 

What makes you think he's not?

 

The TSX is a great value for the money you're putting down. If you need a car that offers the luxuries of the TSX, then ya, you'd have to stick with maybe the A4 2.0T, IS250, 325i, and maybe the C230. But then again, you'd be paying a lot more to get the car to the TSX's level.

Me, I'm actually going to trade my car in for an Evo before the year is over.

 

^^ He feels the need, the need for speed.

 

With four doors? That's easy. BMW M5.

Now, if only someone could hand over $85k...

 

If I were to replace the TSX right now, I'd get the 06 TSX if money were a consideration.....or an Enzo if money and family needs were not. The TSX is such a rewarding car.

Curious, is anyone considering trading up to a 3G TL once they're done with the TSX?

 

I would get a Maybach! j/k I love my TSX and wouldn't trade it for anything in its class.

 

id get an E46 330Ci

 

I am, assuming they put SH-AWD in it

 

:shakehead never...i feel like i'm driving a boat when I drive that car...too damn big for my taste

 

But that does seem like the upgrade path for alot of former TSX owners. Lured by more power.

 

I'm not immune to the desire for speed, but if I really want that speed, I want it in something lighter weight, like a Porsche.

 

tell him to get a f'n TSX.
i do not own one and it's my dream car.

 

After I sat in a 6MT '06 TL last weekend, I'd have to admit I was drooling all over the interior with the better leather, more gadgets, and room to spare.

Although there's part of me seeing myself "graduate" into a 330i when/if a ZHP becomes available, my morning commute today made me think of the TL. You see, my back has been troubling me and the TSX is actually turning out to be alot more rough for my tastes lately. For once, I was craving a quieter, smoother, automatic car.

Oh well, until that day comes, I'm in denial. The TSX is less rough considering our Integras we came from. I guess I'm turning into a wuss that will have RL aspirations soon.... :theghey:

 

E46 M3 or G35c

 

Friend of mine let me drive his M5 a few weeks ago...that car is an absolute beast! As soon as I win the lottery, I am getting one!

It was pretty tough getting back into the 4-banger after that.

Now I'm depressed.

 

I got all happy until I saw the price range. Ha. I wanted to yell and scream Mercedes AMG CLS55.

 

I just picked up an '04 with 32K miles and navi for a little over $22K last month. Best decision I ever made...other than marrying my wife. (You never know when the wife is going to log onto the computer and read your posts! )

Tell him to get a TSX. I searched for months and I couldn't find a combination of great features, reliability, resale value, and all-around fun like I see in the TSX.

If he's not looking for a super fast car and his taste is more toward a smaller car with goodies, tell him to check out the '05 Mazda3 SP23 or the '06 Mazda3 Grand Touring (pretty much the same thing, they just changed the name). Leather, heated seats, six disc, xenon headlights, moonroof, curtain airbags, available navi, very fun to drive, etc. You could get a brand new one fully loaded with navi for under $24K. A nice little car. I drove a couple and came pretty close to getting one, but the TSX won me over with its more upscale feel, a few extra features, and the Acura name/reputation/reliability/resale.
