2012 Special Edition, 6 speed manual - new owner

Hi

So i just got a 2012 white SE 6sp yesterday. Pretty sweet ride. This will primarily be my wifes car/family car. We both had RSX type S's (a black one and a white one) so we are not new to the K series with 6speeds. I thought that nothing FWD would have as good a shifter as the type S but the TSX 6 speed shifts just as well if not better.

Will post better pics later this wknd

i just registered, apparently i cant post pics

the SE interior is sweet with the red stitching and the black headliner....a little too dark maybe, hehe...but it feels like a grown up type R (white with a black interior with red accents)

Nice! BTW didn't you mention this will be the wife's car? I'm pretty sure you're enjoying (driving) it more than she is. Hope she doesn't mind sharing.

What no way?! That is so rare! I hope my future misses knows how to drive a stick. I don't hear to many women driving stickshifts or actually wanting to learn. You, Sir, have a keeper.

yea, we were also looking at a honda CR-V, mazda CX-5, and G37. at the autoshow, my wife just couldn't see herself driving the AT only CR-V. CX-5 wasn't at the show. G37 is nice, and roughly the same size as a TSX, but to get it in stick is about $10k more than a stick TSX.

while i know the opinion around here for the Special Edition is pretty cold (i.e. not worth it, that's it?!?, not special enough), I think its a good value for what you get. the body kit alone is probably worth more than the $1000 extra. it's pretty much most of the Type S goodies for not that much extra $. And im guessing that most people would love to get their hands on the body kit and pedals
