TSX vs. Accord V6 6 Speed
Well.. my decision is nearing. This weekend i'm going to test drive the two vehicles and I dont quite know what I want. I'm going to test drive the TSX at Acura of Orange Park in Jacksonville and a Silver w/black interior Accord V6 6 Speed at Courtesy Honda in Sanford.
What is everyone's opinion on this? I know this is a TSX board but I want some honest opinions. I could probably deal the Accord down alot lower and maybe even get the navigation with it as the same price if not lower than the TSX.
I'm really stressing over this decision. I've asked alot of people and they seem to like both vehicles. My main likings for the Accord is the 6 speed is SWEEET and fast as hell. The car is still luxury and it's pretty sharp looking. Downfalls is that it's a silver color which isn't bad, but i would have prefered the blue color (which is impossible to get right now).
The TSX looks really clean and sweet, especially in Silver (isn't that odd?) and it's got the Acura quality and warranty. Downfalls of the TSX is that it's a 4 cyl and i'm afriad that the engine pick up isn't going to be to my liking. I dont like the way most 4 cyl's ride on the highway, you know that buzzing or whatever you want to call it. Not sure if the TSX is like this or not, that is why i'm going to test drive.
Well, sorry for the long message but i'd like everyone's opinion on this. I'm putting a poll up so I can actually see the votes. Thanks!

Do yourself a favour and go over to www.vtec.net. They did a great comparo of these 2 cars. Its quite informative. IMO it comes down to: do you need 4 doors or 2 and whats more important to you, acceleration or handling?

I'd feel a little silly voting on this, not even mainly because I'm biased. It's that it all depends what your priorities are. I guess the main thing we can say is -- see what you think when you try them.
P.S. Won't go wrong either way.

The accord may have some luxury features (ex v6) but luxury isn't a work you use to describe an accord.
Ask yourself if you want your next car to be 1 of 15k or 1 of 2 million? While the number of tsx's made will increase it will never be a 1/4 of how many accords are made.
Don't get me wrong that accords is a great car. I'd even say its an excellent car. But it's a different kind of car as the tsx.
And as far as engine noise while on the highway, the only time you hear the engine rev is if you floor it. Otherwise you will hardly hear the engine and you may question if you ever started the car in the first place.

Get the TSX
take it from me
I owned both.
The tsx to me just seems more peppier.
Reading an article in one of my old honda tuning mags the chief engineer in honda said its his favorite motor of all time the one thats in the tsx.
Its higher reving. More fun to drive and definately will turn more heads than the Accord coupe( i sure do hope your not thinking about the 4door that car is fugggly).
I think when the tuning scene kicks in for the TSX you will see that the engine in the TSX will have alot more potential then the one in the Accord. Im serious in my comtemplations that bolt on mods will bring the TSX to 260 with ease. especially when they crack the ECU. Honda/Acura doesnt underestimate thier motors like Mazda lol(OUCH)

Hard choice. Both great vehicles and you can't go wrong. I choose the TSX because I wanted some of the extra features, loved the way it looks, and wanted something a bit unique. BUt, I really like the new Accord Coupe.

If you want "balance" go for the TSX, the Accord has a bit softer handling but wow... 5.9 seconds in the 0-60 mph test is just SICK. And the engine resonator sounds great. Reminds me of an NSX/RSX sound, throaty with an aggressive growl.
Try them both and then decide, its only fair to have all the facts before you choose!

i picked the TSX over the accord ex v6 4dr. sure the accord is fast, but the TSX handles MUCH better. As for the buzzing, if you get a 5AT TSX (i have 5AT), the revs are lower on the freeway... i can not really hear the engine. Don't forget, honda makes the best 4cylinders. I'm sure honda put emphasis on engine noise because I seriously think the engine is tooo quiet, especially around the red line. Besides with the 360 watt stereo system on the TSX, you won't be hearing much noise from the outside at all....

Hmmmmmm. 12 to 1 so far.
Why do I have this feeling that I know who the "1" is?
BTW I'm still abstaining. Isn't the idea of this kind of poll on a site like this kind of ridiculous?
Maybe he just wanted to see if SOME people would pick the Accord even on a TSX site. But that doesn't show anything either. There's floozy and maybe a couple of others who'll prefer the Accord, and that's about it. But, it's not like the rest of us think the Accord sucks eggs either.

To clear things up, i'm talking about the Accord COUPE 6MT. There is no 6MT in the Sedan and the sedan's are ugly anyway.
Thanks for all the responses and keep them coming. I definately wont be able to decide until I go test drive them but thanks for the comments.

I've been told that the 6MT accord coupes are somewhat hard to come by. My local dealership has ONE, and it's black with all options, including Nav. I've only seen one other 6MT around town.

It all depends on what you want. The 6mt accord is very fast and still handles well, but not nearly as well as the tsx.
I really like both cars in 6mt form but I would have to say the tsx wins due to japanese built and bred where the accord is still made in ohio. My one complaint for the accord is it has a racing clutch, very very low engangement, and while this is AWESOME for performance driving, it sucks in heavy traffic, well here in la anyway.
If you want 6mt with a V6 then i would wait for the TL. Thats where my interest is peaking heavliy at the moment.
briny319- while i will agree that accord doesnt go hand in hand with namesake of luxury (hence why they made acura for us name whoring americans
) the EX models of the car, especially with nav are pretty lux. the 6MT coupe is covered in perforated leather, has the new voice navi, dual climate, 6 disc with better speakers then the other accords (360w also i think), all the same electronics gizmos of the tsx fot the most, the electro luminescent dash, etc etc etc. it even has one thing the tsx doesnt a key with all the buttons incorporated like other lux comaines. So i wouldnt write this car off as not having luxury. If it was made in japan just like the TSX it would be a super tough call as to which one id want.
But in the end I think the TSX is a more fun, spirited car, and no engine noise at speeds, none that i could here and i had all the windows down and the radio off at 90mph.

If we didn't have to choose, the straight line speed of the Accord with the handling of the TSX would be the perfect combo... Buuuut, if I had to prioritize, the handling of the TSX is more important than sheer straightline speed.
The Accord is very good, but the TSX is very nimble, quite powerful, has some extra features (e.g. HIDs, perforated leather), nicer interior and dash layout (IMO), better fit and finish and more exclusivity.
A few more $$ for the TSX, for me, is justified by the above. If straight line speed and a cushiony ride are more important than the above, then the Accord is for you... Has to be said, too, that the Accord Coupe has a smokin' profile...

The 6mt accord coupe has perforated leather, and the dash layout is virtually identical since they are both accords. But TSX fit and finish is that much better then the accord. and yes the tsx has hid low beams.
This is not bash but i tend to think some people, especially the younger ones tend to forget the acuras are hondas. period. acura does not exist in japan. But the japanese were genius in creating acura because they really play on american vanity and ego to great degree. I love seeing the all the acura owners that bash hondas because they dont have acura badges on them and therefore have no luxury or prestige. I see it once in awhile and the arogance and ignorance behind it makes me laugh out loud, cause that is exactly what honda/acura wanted.

Well folks, I know i'm going to shock you guys but I called up Courtesy Honda in Sanford and they have a Nighthawk Black Pearl w/Black Leather 6MT Accord Coupe coming in on Wednesday. I'm going to test drive them tommorrow and see what I think but I'm pretty sure i'm going to go with teh Accord. I'm sure the TSX is a wonderful car and dont ge tme wrong, but I just feel that for the money, i'm going to get better value with the Accord 6MT vs. the TSX 6MT, despite all your responses.
I will still be around here as I feel that the TSX is a wonderful looking car, but i'm big on #s and performance and feel that the V6 Coupe just outperforms the TSX. I'm sure the TSX handles better considering it is a lighter vehicle (only by about 100 lbs) and the suspension on it, but I dont think that paying more for it would be value driven for me. Thanks to everyone and keep the comments coming!

Thats because you own a tsx idiot..all i know is its way easyer and cheaper to make my accord handle better then a tsx then makeing the tsx faster.

I felt that the differences in the two vehicles wasn't enough for the price diff that the TSX was more than the Accord. The TSX is a wonderful car and perfect for its class, but I dont think it should be in the mid to upper 20s range. (i'm in no way dissing those of you who purchased it) this is just my opinion and I want to feel as if I got the most out of my money. The Accord 6SPD is about as rare as the TSX is right now so I think that this will be a good purchase for me. Also, the Nighthawk Black Pearl is SWEEET on the Accord especially with the Black Leather interior. I'm very excited about this!

you will end up paying as much or more for an accord 6 speed because they are rare, i was told the dealers only get like 1 a month each. because the MT is so hot they are marking them way up over MSRP so dont expect to get any deals.

First of all, the 2004s are coming out so they are clearing out the 2003s. I have already spoke to the salesman and I will at least get the car OUT THE DOOR for MSRP which I would be happy with. I still feel, IMO, that i'm getting the better deal purchasing the Accord over the TSX. That's just me though.

It may be higher with the new TL being released.
Drive both, then get what you want. It's your money so drive
what you enjoy.
Adam, I know you are young but apparently you do frequent
many boards. I'm sure in your reading you have found that
getting a car balanced and nimble is much more difficult then
making one go fast straightline.
If you want fast, I wouldn't choose an Accord.
An Evolution or WRX STI would be a great starting point.
The Accord is quick and has more creature comforts.
The TSX is quick (although not as quick as the Accord) handles
admittedly better and also very day driver friendly with many
comforts.
Each car has a fun driving factor that the numbers can't show.
Many people have found that as their reason for buying the TSX.
Remember the Prelude? You could sling that car around, what a
blast!
Hell, I don't know why I wasted my time trying to educate Adam.
I know his next comment will still be "Get an Acord coupe, it's
so extremy and cool,nuthin can beet it"
(I hope I got the spellin' right!)

I like the fact the TSX is built in Japan. Cars built in the U.S. just don't have that kind of quality. If you don't understand what the TSX is about then it's not for you. Test driving it does not tell the story. After 4 months of ownership I could not be happier.

Well, I purchased my Accord 6 speed today for 26,500 out the door with Spoiler and Wheel Locks. The car is BEAUTIFUL. I test drove it and it handles and accelerates amazing. I got the Metallic Silver w/Black leather. BEAUTIFUL.
Stop the gay arguing and just respond how you feel the car is. Dont talk shit about people because they like a certain car. It is there personal preference.
The reason I posted this hear is because I want to get everyone's opinion. I posted it on other Honda boards as well and the answer there as the oposite. Thanks to everyone who could respond in a mature manner and give an honest opinion, and to those of you who seem to think what you have is the best and everything else is a piece of sh*t, you are the ones that probably dont work hard for your money so screw off.

I love the car market, so many choices as of late as the SUV craze has peaked.
And on the car slam thing, for some reason Adam hangs on these
boards to slam everything TSX. He kinda grows on you like a mole
on your butt. Not pretty and full of Sxxt
