X-Honda owners?!
After spending a few wks on this forum, I noticed that most of us were once either:
a Honda Accord owner?
or Prelude owner...
so can I conclude that Honda really builds loyal drivers?
or should I just say that all TSX owners have very similar taste in cars.
How many of you here were once an Accord owner?

How many of you here were once an Accord owner?

My wife was a Civic owner and was considering another Civic or a Jetta. She doesn't like bigger cars and the Accord was out for that reason.
I discovered the TSX was smaller than a US Accord, and saved myself from years of not fitting in a Civic or a Jetta.

Too many minor defects.

My family has had a couple of accords and a couple of civics. I got stuck with the '93 altima as my last car. I like the size of that car so my choices going into this one were the IS, the TSX, the A4, and the S40. The TSX was by far the best of the bunch, just like Car&Driver said.

Three Wheelin'
My first Honda was given to me about 20 years ago -- it was a yellow Kick-N-Go. I don't know what model year it is (as it was a gift from my grandfather) but I still have it! Other Hondas I still own or have owned denoted with a *:
1988 Civic DX Hatchback*
1995 Civic EX Coupe
1984 Honda HRS21 lawnmover
1993 Prelude S*
2000 S2000
I'm looking to replace the Civic with a TSX next Spring. So I guess you could say I'm loyal, but I do consider other brands it's just that Honda's products seem to be best for my wife and I.

1981 Honda Accord - 100,000 miles
1988 Honda Accord LXi - 197,000 miles
1988 Acura Integra - 115,000 miles
1996 Acura 3.2 TL - 37,000 miles (lease)
2003 Honda Accord LX - currently 12,000 miles
Basically these are the cars my family owned, and i drove quiet often. I think i enjoyed the 1988 Accord the most, it was stick, only 120 hp, but it moved. Engine gave rock solid performance all the way. At 197,000 we sold it to someone we know, and he is still driving it at 200,000+ miles. It was involved in 4 accidents.
Now I can't make up my mind between the TSX or the TL. :\

Grew up with:
78 Oldsmobile
82 Buick Skylark (couldn't pull it's own weight)
84 Chevy Citation (actually the best American car I owned)
After College:
88 Mustang GT Conv (Worst of all, replaced parts 2-3 times)
After moving to California in 2001:
A freind (Honda lover) stopped me from buying a Hyundai and talked me into a 2001 Accord. I put 50K on it in two years and drove just like it did off the lot. Best car I owned. Sold it 2 years ago when company gave me a car.
Tomorrow:
Picking up a sweet used 2004 TSX with tons of goodies for extremely cheap!
I gotten to like both Honda and Toyota, but Toyota styling is soooo blah...
