Well I took my baby for the 15K service this morning.
They gave me an '04 TSX.
Here's my review on that:
Pros: -Excellent seats, easy to position yourself where you want.
-What can I say, got to love the telescopic steering wheel.
-Controls for FWD/Back for radio and FM1,2 and AM
selection on the steering wheel.
-Very quite for its class.
-Good power
-Handles very nice and absorbs bumps good.
-MPG, looks like you can get excellent MPG. So far 35 miles
and the needle is still in the same place.
-Dual front A/C.

Cons: -Hard to reach seat controls
-Stereo not as good as the TLS, even with separate
tweeters in front.
-Good power but certainly not even close to TLS.
-No heated side view mirrors. Needed those this
morning.

Just want it to share my experience with the TSX.
On a sad note, they still have my TLS and I want it back.

PS. I took Mobil 1 and K&N oil filter so they can use that, will see how it performs after that.

 

I brought my car in today also. I got a 2004 Ford F-150 from Enterprise. The version I got is actually an expensive version. The truck is huge. Less ergonomic than the previous model, IMO. But the interior/exterior styling (in-person) is a big step up form last year. I wanted an Acura for the day...oh well.

I liked the TSX, but as you stated...It just doesn't compare to the TL-S!

SGT C.J.

 

The two things I didn't like about the TSX were:

a) The center console was in a weird position for me. In my '02 TLS, the center console was arranged in a way where I didn't have to reach for the radio controls. Bascially, the TSX's center console is a bit too high for me.

b) The lag-time needed to convert HP into forward movement (forgot the term) seems longer than the TLS.

 

How much is the 15K mile service? I'm due in for one in two weeks and i'm just wondering...

 

I just had a 15,000 mile service, Dealer quoted $229.95 less my free oil change and tire rotation ($57.00) and than knocked another $25 off. This also included a transmission service and replace air filter, both of which are not on the Acura standard 15,000 mile service.
