But in the end after the money is spent can you say to yourself, "was it worth it?"

Enjoy the TSX for what it is.

 

Mine is. I've spent nearly $3000 on performance mods and now it's a completely different car. It just dares you to rev out every gear.

Although the car was great when I drove her off the lot, I ended up having some nagging gripes with body roll, brake dive, long gears not mated to the motor, and not enough horsepower.

That's all fixed now and the car is still reliable as stock.
