Yeah I just read it and seems like they should have used a new one. In the parts section it says windshield side trim, 3 windshield side retainers, one trim retainer and one plastic slide clip. Maybe they cheap'd out on OP. Haha.

Either way it's fixed. I was going to glue it myself if they wouldn't fix it. They just saved me a slight amount of time and effort.

rawger

Yeah I was just kidding, didn't matter as long as it's fixed.

Probably reason #1 why I didn't opt for the Accord coupe. Blind spots on that thing are terrible and this looks like a consequence of it. Car looked dope besides that though.

iCrap

Have you actually driven that gen accord coupe? It's terrible. I drove a few before i drove a TSX and liked it way more.

whats up havent logged in for ever still got my TSX problem free love this car Traded my GTI and sold my miata and picked up a 2012 C250 wow is all I can say. TSX isn't even mad it hasn't been in the garage in a year.

Accords (can) come with blind spot/ lane watch feature. Although they look kinda bulky to me.

iCrap

^not on that gen coupe.

I agree some of those Accord coupes are really nice. I think the OEM skirts and the sport bumpers (or whatever they're called... I think they're OEM though) make the car look really nice.

That's a shame. I haven't driven the Accord coupe, but insurance in Toronto is a bitch for males under 25, so opting for a sedan made the prices a bit more "reasonable" for me. I have no regrets about my TSX though. Maybe except that I got the tech package instead of a 6sp

Welcome back! Your C class is really poppin', especially in that red!

Nice!!! Love Mars Red. How does the two fidddy compare to the TSX? My friend has the C250 coupe and I think the TSX drives much sportier but maybe its just me. Your car with the C63 AMG Wheels and a slight lowering = sex.

I had a white c300 rental for a few days before buying the tsx. The interior IMO is better in the tsx. But rwd in the c was awesome.

Before I bought my TSX, I was looking at a 2011 or 2012 Accord Coupe V6. I thought it was pretty clean and they added paddle shifters after 2010 or so on those. Steering felt firm, probably was a little on the heavy side and not as sharp as the TSX. TSX definitely is more sporty. I did one time drive an Accord sedan and TSX back to back. It was like driving a boat vs a jet ski lol. My friend has an 08 Accord Coupe V6 which I've driven like once. I was telling him IDK how he drives that thing, I couldn't tell if a car was in my blind spot when I test drove one at the dealer.

At the end of the day, I paid what I was going to for that Accord coupe for the TSX, so I'm more than happy.

Yeah what iCrap said, the ones under 2013 don't have that option. The best you can do is add those tiny circle mirror on your mirrors.

I actually like the styling of a it a lot also, it's a big part of why I was drawn to it for awhile. I've seen 3 or 4 really nicely done while driving around. It's also way better than getting the Accord sedan.

The 250 isn't the fastest out there at all the 7 speed trans makes this thing a rocket in its own way. It's a super smooth power delivery compared to the TSX jerky raw power. And the 2012 interior is amazing compared to the TSX hence why I got this 250 I wanted a c300 but the 2011 below interior wasn't as nice. And I do want a only a slight drop and the AMG wheels so bad.

SiiRBrooklyn

Drove one of those one time, pretty smooth ride.

Mercedes>BMW

Acura TSX>Mercedes C300... LOL only thing I like is 4-Matic really.. and the interior lights, those are badass because their from the W140 S-Class (1991-1999).

TSXy Luster

Buying a 250 is telling the world you are so concerned about branding over everything else that you are willing to waste an abhorrent amount of money for a badge.


Did you get a PRNCSS license plate to go with that?

Jaheri_cbp

They don't sell the tech package w/6spd manual in Canada?? They do have them in the states bcuz I own one so dunno y u settled when u could have had both lol :p. So no HID's on the base models and the tech pack only w the slush box tranny, hmmm anything else Canadians get really screwed on?! Lol

Jaheri_cbp

If it was a 350 would it be more acceptable??? Lol

I don't really know the full history of the CU2 and how it's been sold in Canada, but I've read somewhere that a TECH + 6MT model was sold for 1 year, and this particular trim was discontinued due to poor numbers.

For MY13 (afaik, this is the case for Canada), there's no "base", as I think they've completely gotten rid of this trim. The lowest model is the Premium model, which comes standard with HIDs, leather seats, and moonroof. This is configurable in 5AT or 6MT. There's also the TECH trim, but that's only available in 5AT I4 or 5AT V6. We also have the A-Spec, which is the equivalent of the US SE. Seeing an A-Spec on the road here is pretty cool because they're very rare. I wish I had gotten a 6MT BWP A-Spec . We do get shafted quite a bit here in Canada... but nothing is more of a buzzkill than how much shit costs in Canada relative to the US.

Bring me back some bronze CE28Ns hahah have fun.

Lets just say I paid under trade for this car so I got it for a steal and financing well under 20k So no PRNCSS plate just a comfy grandpa ride for me now. Im enjoying it coming from the Stage 1+ GTI that was wheel spin from hell.

rawger

What year GTI did you have? And did you have any reliability issues with it? That was one car I was looking at besides the TSX also.

She finally did it. I didn't think it was possible.

How would you compare it to the TSX? And congrats on the new ride by the way, the red really looks nice. So now you have a Vortex Pearl Blue and Mars Red.

Hey guys, question.... when installing new rotors/pads.... is there anything special I need to do? I read something about a bedding process, but idk if that applies to all new rotors or what not... just don't want to mess up brand new rotors.

Awww princess' feelings got hurt from the truth? Don't worry, I'm sure your daddy will buy you a brand new shiny tiara when you cry enough.
