Going to test drive the TSX...

I'm going home this weekend for Easter, and I'm going to the Acura dealership to check out the TSX. Acura of Troy (Michigan) currently has 3 on their lot, 2 of them 6-speed w/o Navi, one auto w/ Navi.

No, it's not for me. My brother's getting a new car, and he was thinking about the Saab 9-3 and the BMW 325i. He heard about the TSX, and wants to go check it out.

Online showroom makes the TSX look promising, although I've seen it at the NAIAS earlier this year and wasn't that impressed. Oh, well. I just wanna play with the Navigation system and try stupid commands.

if size isn't a big issue. I think the new 9-3 looks way better. They changed the suspension geometry adn got ride of the most of the tq steer and how can you compete with turbo power.

I think the Mazda 6 is cooler looking than the TSX as well. The handlign is supposed to be great and the price for a v-6 is nice too.

I saw a Mazda6 in that garrish yellow color with effects and some 18's to boot...Thing looked sweet as h=ll and I bet it as quick as the TSX...
I just noticed 'this is me's sig: $5 map in the glove box!!!
Now that's f!@#$%g funny! Navi?!

I obviously have a computer, and spend $0.15 on three pages of paper to print out Mapquest directions for free! I wonder if all of us Navi-challenged (I'm pc) people should amend sigs from here on out!!!

Yeah, we've already test driven the 9-3. It was awesome. However, it wouldn't hurt to check out the competitors.

I got in the TSX today. Other than weight placed on sport, obviously they are after the euro crowd with elephant hide upper door trim, nice indiglo guages, the interior reminded me of a e36(?) bmw325i a lot. Didn't have that traditional NEW acura TL smell in the cabin. Perforated seats, all the goodies with a lighter color fakewood Bottom line: a very appealing expensive fourbanger....
