'98 Volvo S70 T5M.
Awesome power once the turbo spooled up. Good handling with the right set of tires. Would have owned it for 8 year but the car in front of me stops for no reason on the freeway, I stop but the semi behind me can't...also pushed me into the car in front, so insurance totaled it. Bastard in front takes off. I walked away in one piece. Looked at newer Volvos but they don't make Swedish Steel like they used to.
Decided on the TSX after comparing it with the other cars everyone else does. My first Auto tranny since I'm newly married and she doesn't drive yet. Car payments were going to be for her car, now it'll be for our car. I'll fix up my 86 4Runner to commute to work with and she'll use the TSX.

It was then replaced by the Audi that didn't even make it to 65,000 miles. Ugh. With $5,000 worth of maintenance in the past TWO AND A HALF months. ...Ridiculous.
Oh man. New TSX comes in today at 4:00. Yesss.

Leased 2002 Dodge Dakota SLT...I love my TSX, but I also miss the practicality of a truck...I would buy another Dodge truck anyday. My Dakota was as reliable as they come.

Anyway, my last car (also my first car) was an 03 Accord EXL. Just out of college in summer of 03, I didn't even think about an Acura (didn't think i could afford "lux")... but within a year I started noticing the TSX and so after two years in the Accord, sold it and got my NBP/EB TSX with nav.

95 Acura Integra, when I was living in Vancouver, BC.
Put an order and waited two months for the car even before it's release because I wanted a silver one (which wasn't an available color in 94 model year). So from what the dealership told me I had the first silver Integra in Vancouver.
It served me well for 11 years and 320k KMs (200k miles).

Came from 2002 Dodge Ram SLT Sport. Miss the height. It was a lease and we traded it in - dealer still has it.....

The company recently bought a third truck though it's a '05 Hemi, heavy duty and it's a pretty nice looking truck, but the thing gobbles gas like a hungry fat man in an "all you can eat buffet", a full fill-up is over $100 and considering how slow my company is in remburisments, I don't tend to be the one to fill it up. Plus in my opinion, rides rough on the freeway and I think my Tundra is faster off the line than the Hemi (considering that Hemi are anyways designed for upper end performance, hence the straight-thru design of the hemispherical head).
Where I came From !

Came from a 1997 1.6 EL, now my son's pride and joy. Still new at only 102,000 Km. He should be able to keep it going for many many more years. Great car and super cheap to operate.

1999 Civic Si - (May '99 - March '05) Awesome car, but the TSX is so much more comfortable! I do miss taking her to 8k RPM, and also the sweet sound of the VTEC changeover with the CAI
1991 Accord 2dr 5sp - (Dad bought it new in '91, I got it in '96, and drove it until I got the Si in '99) This was the best car we have ever owned! Still had the original clutch & rear brakes when we sold it with 218k miles! The original Michelins lasted until 110k miles!
1992 Mustang GT Auto - (1994 - 1996) Fun car, but way too much power for a 16 year old. Got in too much trouble with it, so dad sold it and gave me the Accord.

1990 Mazda Miata:
Don't think I've ever had as much fun using this as my daily driver than I have with the TSX. The handling on those things are remarkeable!
But, having graduated and getting a "real" job, I purchased the TSX. I miss the handling experience, but NOT the Corky Romano feeling :gheylaugh:
