Question TSX questions...newbie here

I still haven't test drove one yet but will soon.

5spd Auto owners; how nice is the sport shifting...close to 6spd feel?

The best quote I received so far online is $27,535 (W/ NAVI) and maybe up to $500 more off that (don't ask...we shall see). Sound good?

Lastly, anybody AutoX their TSX yet? If so, please tell me more i.e. like what class and how it did...etc.

I'm leaning toward CGP or NBP for exterior colors...maybe MR or PWP and toward the 6spd but trying to justify the 5spd Auto.

TIA!

i got a 5AT b/c it's my first auto in 14 years. honestly, if i wanted the 6MT, i've would fork over the extra $$ for a TL.

haven't used the 5AT sports shift yet.

I would say they are different. I have the Auto (cause my wife can't drive a stick), and it is not the nearly the same experience.

If you can manage the logistics of getting a stick ($$, availability, all drivers can actually drive a stick), get the stick. It is one of the better sticks on the market and it lets you get so much more out of the experience.

If I had my choice I would have chosen a 6Spd, but my fiance can't drive manual so. . .

Driving with the sports-shift is nothing like driving a stick. It's definitely not as much fun. I've driven a stick for nearly 20 years and for whatever reason I get confused by the simple forward for shifting up and back for shifting down. Especially from first to second. . .

Good choice. You'll appreciate the extra 10-15hp to the wheels.
