I've had my TSX 6pd navi for a week now and absolutely love the car. I came from an '02 TL and I don't miss it....well maybe a little of the straight line acceleration, but overall the TSX handles much better and whole lot more fun.

Here's the history (most recent to earliest):
- 1990 Nissan Maxima SE 5-spd (great car; just wore it out)
- 1982 BMW 733i 5-spd (another great car; under-powered but majestic)
- 1989 Honda Civic DX 5-spd (loved it, but too small for the kids)
- 1979 Honda CVCC 4-spd (yeah, baby!)
- 1974 Datsun 260Z 4-spd (first love; wonderful design, but not too sporty by today's standards)
Until I created this list, I didn't realize that I've never owned an automatic (though my wife has a 2001 Toyota Highlander V6). Interesting.
I really like the 6MT, but am I the only one who thinks that the shift pattern is a little awkward? I find it awkward to shift into 5th and 6th--the shift pattern seems to be much more of an "H" than a "W", if you know what I mean.

1994 Honda Accord - baby blue (stock!). I don't think I'll leave the Honda Motor Company...best throttle response and handling of any car in the same class.
I love the pearl white TSX!

I just sold my '91 Acura Integra LS yesterday, awaiting the arrival of my '05 TSX on wednesday! The Integra was a great car, hard to let it go but so excited about the new addition 
Will be nice to have a car newer than 14 years old.........

I took a little bit of a right turn. My current vehicle is a Ford Escape. I was towing a boat, doing a little off roading, and commuting so it was a good choice. I sold the boat and not doing any off roading any more so time for a great car.
BTW - I did like the Ford Escape and ordered mine months before the first one was ever built and I believe that I received the first one in Western Canada. Time for a change though.

The 06 TSX we have ordered will replace my wife's 98 CL which has been an absolute gem, not one problem in seven years (waste of extended warranty).
We're really only getting rid of it cause I want a NAV system. Can't see the CL leave the family so we're giving it to our son, not that anyone asked!!

Getting an '05 TSX in two days!
Prior:
- 2000 Acura 3.5 RL (Blue, grey leather interior)
- 2000 Audi A6 Avant (Green, beige leather interior)
...And now I'm back. The Audi was very shortlived. Pfft.

Yup...taken in spring just a few days before I took her in and drove my TSX out...*sniff*...I have mixed feelings about this.
