Of course I get compliments from friends and sure it's great, though you can't always tell if they're sincere since it's coming from your buddies.

That's why I say the best compliments are definitely from strangers, and it's even better when they say it without knowing you're around.

Take the other day for instance.
Just finished washing and waxing my TSX a few days ago, dealer recently did the sidewall polish.
I was parked in the city waiting for a friend and I stepped outside and stood in the shade under a store's awning.
That's when 2 random guys walked by, gawked at my car and said, "That car is hot."

Made me proud

 

The most complimentary person (so far) was the guy giving me my car insurance quote.

 

" Sexy car" "cute car" "Nice TL" "That car is nice" " How much that cost you?" So much more...

 

The nicest comment was from a TL owner at a gas station. He loved the lines of the TSX.

 

my 6 year old cousin says my car is cooler than sponge bob =)

 

"very nice color.." mine is ABP..

 

at a gas station while filling up...the guy next to me says " nice car...looks better than my bmw"

 

From Jessica Alba:

"Wow, that car is so freakin' hot!! What's this?? My pants are falling off and I don't know why?!?1"

It was just the typical:

"Nice car"
"How much was it?"
"Alright, you got a manual!!"
etc...

my best compliment has to be "wow! nice Accord"

 

My (quite attractive) neighbour coming over and introducing herself, because she loves the look of the car and had been wanting to take a closer look since I got it.

 

Three guys looking at it in the parking lot as I walk toward it: "Hey man, nice car!"
"I want to have sex with this car"
"This is the coolest car ever" (after showing off the nav and HFL to some engineer friends)
"What a beautiful silver!"

"It smells like new car!"

 

I get that one often - abp is sexay.

Also something I took as kind of an insult but "your car looks like it came outta the fast and the furious".
That was right after I got it lowered and took it to the alignment shop.

 

well i have gotten plenty of vocal compliments about the car, but I have to say I like it best when I'm driving and I catch people rubber-necking to get a glimpse of the car. Then you know it's a hot car.

 

Haha, I did that to a couple of C6's I saw recently.
I drove neck and neck with it, then passed it to get around the other side, then slowed down to catch the rear for a full 360 tour.

Gave the guy a and he acknowledged.

 

i get "i love your car" a lot

 

Best compliment I got was one I never heard. It was from a couple I saw getting out of their Arctic Blue 05 TSX and nearly tripping over themselves gawking at my Royal Blue Pearl 06 as they walked by. You can't help but smile when you see something like that.

 

1) from a friend at work, "I like this better than Jenny's new car." - Jenny got her IS250 about the same time I got my 06 CGP.

2) from a bouncer standing outside the bar, "Nice car . . . what kinda car is that, anyway?"

 

i get a lot of:

"thats a really nice car"
"you keep that thing really clean!"
"love the color"
"what is that, a TL?"

oh and two seperate times people have thought my tsx was a mazda

 

the best compliment i got was, a girl saw my car, she was so impressed, she went to buy one

 

The typical:

Wow, this is nice,.......
Is that your car? It is really nice,.........
What kind of car is that,...it looks so good,.....

etc

 

Yeah for some reason I can't remember anyone complementing my car

 

typical ones....

"thats hot!"
"sweet ride"
"How much you pay for that?"
"very clean, and it still smells new!"

 

The car has to be sexy, and the driver has to be sexy too you know



So far I've gotten "nice TL" about 5 times

and "Looks great, planning to get a TSX myself *5 minute convo at gas station that made me late to work*"

 

The second week I had my car, my boss asked me how I liked my new Honda!

A girl that lives on the floor above me told me it was shiny.

And I was detailing it with my buddy last weekend at his apartment, when a guy walks by a comments, "Wow, that car look brand new!". wtf?

Oh well, I've gotten plenty of the "nice car", "new car smell", "great choice" complements.

Also a couple "I can't believe this is just a 4 cylinder!"

 

My favorite story is when I got my 04 back in 2003, I took my gf out to dinner at a nice restaurant in Newport Beach with included valet parking. When we were leaving the restaurant after our meal, the valet brings the car up and before I tip him, he's running over to chat with the other valet and I heard him talking about how awesome the car was and how it probably costs around $40k.

That really put a smile on my face.

 

The best compliment I’ve “seen” was when the wife and I were getting our grub on at a restaurant and a TL owner (Anthracite metallic) drove by our car. They stopped, backed up, parked and both husband and wife got out and checked out the car.

We also get the usual “nice car” and co-workers wanting you to drive when heading out for lunch.

 

So how much did you tip him?

 

2$, then the Valet gave him a bad mouthing after he left.

 

 

Two times come to mind for me. One was a few weeks ago at a gas station when two guys were pretty vocal about how "Hot" my car was. They were loud enough to cause every person at the station to look over at us.

The second time was when I was walking back to my car after leaving a Wendy's and hearing a guy in the drive-thru lane say "that car is the sh*t" to the person in the passenger seat.

 

Comments from Autozone chump salesman "Oh man~oh man! I luv theses cars!" , "TLs are beautiful!"..

Me:

 

Yeh always getting mistaken for a TL...

From my experience, living in New York City, my car doesn't even get noticed. Why would it when it's always surrounded by beemers, benzes, audis and lexuses....

 

From my 3 y/o daughter: "Daddy's car is fast, mommy's car is slow."

 

When I went to the dealer one day, about 4 employees came out and asked about my lip spoiler and said it looked good. I'd say that's about the best.

 

Same thing here.

 

the best compliment i received was when my mom and sister were visiting and saw my tsx for the first time and said it was a really nice car. it was probably the most sincere compliment i got.

 

The BEST compliment I've ever gotten, wasn't really ever said. My friends had been ragging on me while I was car shopping when I told them I kept going back to the TSX. They didn't understand why I would go from a slow 4cyl Neon to another "slow" 4cyl w/o even a turbo. So I decided to bring them to the dealership and convinced the salesguy to let them test drive (I wanted a second opinion anyway, they're car guys whose judgement I generally trust). He let us take it out for about 45 minutes, and actaully took us down fun roads that showed off the handling. Anyway, After the test drive, they never said another bad thing about the TSX again. Sometimes silence can be the best compliment of all.

 

"looks as good as my G35",
"i love the interior!",
"yo, thats a phat blue",
... and best one of all (kidding), "it looks like a mazda" WTF???

 

Best compliment I ever got was last weekend (I've only had it two months). A girl at a wedding I was at left the wedding with me, telling the guy she came with (not her bf, btw) that she was getting a ride back to the hotel in "the kick ass car"... it got me laid later, and THAT is the "best compliment" part.
