Question Tsx Or Accord Ex V6

Okay im confused here maybe you all can help me out,,,
- now why would you buy a TSX for around $26,500
when you can buy a Accord EX V6 for exactly the same price of $26,500......

Not only does the accord EX have EVERY option the TSX has but what is DOES have that the TSX does not is this...
-V6
-64 more HP
-Faster 0-60 time
-Better road handeling
-better 1/4 mile time
-Lighter then the TSX
-it also has the traction control and that other stuff.
the only reason i can think of getting a TSX rather then an Accord is that it has HID headlights.
the accord is just plan out FASTER and handels better i got all my info from CAR and DRIVER.... can someone please answer this question THANKS!

Yeah, the Accord sure does have everything the TSX has.

It's got that stiff suspension that makes Type S models jealous.
What about those skidpad numbers? I guess the Accord beats out cars like the G35 too.
Oh, the 4 door/6 speed is something that they share.
And the magnesium transmission housing.
The incredible electroluminescent guages.
Sport seats not designed for fat people.
One year longer warranty and not having to get your car serviced by the guy that works on Civics.
Front and rear strut tower braces.
Standard 17 inch wheels.
I forgot that both cars are equally ugly. They share that hideous back end and silly peeled back headlights, right.

Sorry about the sarcasm. I'm guessing that you've done a search of this forum and decided to post something that would rile up the members. I guess you succeeded.

Yes, and a supersize Big Mac value meal. I hear the cupholders in the Accord are specifically designed with McDonald's large cups in mind. Then again, they may not have thought about that when designing the TSX for the European and Japanese markets...

-64 more HP
Wrong, listed as 240 vs. 200


-Better road handeling
Wrong, see Car and Driver Top10 why the TSX is fun to drive.


-Lighter then the TSX
Not according to Edmunds, 6MT TSX no Navi clocks in lighter than a Accord EX-V6 no navi.

If you don't know why a TSX is better, you're better off with the Accord.

OK ...the TSX is an ACURA(honda`s upgraded line)

But i wouldnt buy the accord because there are too many already on the road, the TSX handles the road better with some better rubber, and the best one of all...TSX- class and originality

Have you actually driven either?

Whatever is written in articles or voiced here matters little if it doesn't suit your needs. Go drive them both and make up your mind which is best for you, then see what kind of deal you can make.

Good Luck and post some pics since we're here in the Gallery already...

The Accord in no way handles better than the TSX. The TSX is sportier, handles better, has more luxuray features (the TSX has Vehicle Stability Assist vs the accord only has traction control, much better stereo, HID lights, etc ,etc), and is MUCH better looking. PLus the TSX is made in Japan, vs Ohio for the accord.

If you go to vtec.net they have a video where they test drive both cars through some twisites, and the TSX was faster through the turns and more fun to drive.

Where the Accord excels is in straight line acceleration and has more room (its a bigger car).

In any case, this has been dicussed many times.

I'm also not sure why you posted this in the gallery section
