Your Second Car ???
Obviously, most people here likely think the TSX is a great car. We have a new 2007 TSX, NBP, MT, no nav.
But some people also likely have a second car.
So, what's your second car? And why do you have that one?
I'll start.
Our second car is a 2006 Honda CR-V, the small SUV. That one lets us easily haul bikes inside the vehicle (the only way to go with good bikes), plus any bigger things, but is nice and sprightly for an SUV, with decent gas mileage.

The wife's car is a 2000 Honda Accord EX V-6. She traded up from a 1993 Nissan Sentra. We were just looking for a bigger vehicle.
BTW, I traded up from a 1995 Honda Civic EX Coupe to my 2006 TSX.

no 2nd car yet.
i would love to get either a CX-7, Murano, G35 sedan, upcoming EX35, 4Runner, or RAV4 as my 2nd vehicle in the next few years.
i really don't want to get another Honda/Acura product because that's all I've driven since I was 16. i want to try another car brand.

I always wanted to have an SUV, a sedan, and a convertible.
Wife: 2006 RX330 (replaced Volvo S60 2.4t)
Me: 2007 Tl-S (replaced 2004 TSX)
Me: 1999 Miata (purchased in residency, all smiles ever since!)
I drive the Tl-S during the week, the Rx330 on the weekends, and the Miata gets about 2K miles per year when I run errands solo on the weekends (which is very rare with wife, child, and dog)

I am in the process of changing my second car. Although, I should call it my first car. I don't drive my TSX as much as my other car which is a daily driver. Currently, I have a 1996 honda civic ex that I had prior to buying my tsx and i really like the car. Great gas mileage and trouble free. However, I wanted something a little more fun so I'm trying to sell my civic and '01 katana currently and I'm picking up an '02 wrx tomorrow

'03 G35C w/ Nav. is my cruising car.
I can't let it go. It was the first car I had no gripes about. Plus, it was the only one in the city I lived in for like a year!

Its my 1 and only. I'd love to acquire a rwd sports car in the next year or two to have as a second. In the meantime, its a fantastic daily driver and part time fun cruiser.

2nd car
My 2nd car is a 1998 Honda Prelude, which was actually my first car until the RBP 2006 TSX arrived last year. The Prelude is still the better driving purist's car, but the TSX's combination of sport and luxury has made it first call for me. I now use the Prelude as a bad-weather and airport-parking-lot vehicle--hopefully I did not offend the Prelude aficionados here!

My 2nd vehicle (actually my wife's vehicle) is a 1998 Nissan Pathfinder SE... it's a gas guzzler, has ridiculously slow acceleration, handles poorly, is as aerodynamic as a brick, but can haul stuff, which we have a lot of with 2 kids....

"unofficially" my second car, 07 IS250 AWD.
bought it as my sister's ride, but she drives ~100 miles a month, and i drive ~800 a month.
after having fun with my tight Tein ss TSX, IS250 is like a big sofa.
btw...for those of you who think it's a grily car,
it doesn't just Look like a girly car, it DRIVES like a girl's car. lol

05 Honda Pilot - it's the car the kids can mess up becaue no one is allowed to do anything in mine. 
Next to the Acura it's the best car I've ever owned - aside from towing large objects, it does just about anything.
