Back with 2012 TSX Tech
Just bought an used 2012 black on black TSX w/ Tech last night for $16.5k, 60k miles.
This is our 3rd Acura. We started with a new 2006 carbon grey TSX manual and enjoyed it. Smooth manual although lacking torque even with the ECU chip. Then we traded it in for a new 2012 black MDX when it started to burn oil crazy. I hope we don't have the same issue with the 2012 TSX.
We needed a second car after moving to the burbs. Initial budget was $10k for a beater car. Test drove the Honda Fit and Mazda 3 and just couldn't do it. We have been spoiled by the MDX. So we started looking at Lexus IS250s and man is that car expensive even used. So finally we decided on the 2nd gen TSX despite the weak I4. All the reviews slam the TSX on the I4 but we found it adequate and pretty preppy.
I was active on Acurazine back when I had the first TSX so I am glad to join the community again.
If anyone has a recommendation on cheapest place to get all weather mats, let me know =).

Congrats, and welcome! My recommendation for all weather mats would be weather tech! I've had my set (front & back) for approx. 4 years and they have done their job! My carpet still looks brand new underneath. What I like most about them is that they cover the sides as well & the rear is one piece so it covers the hump.

VTEC just kicked in, yo!
Cheapest would likely be used OEM. Best would arguably be WeatherTech, and likely in similar price range if used. I picked up front WeatherTech digital fit floor liners for front/back/trunk and they work amazing. Fitment is spot on and the coverage is a lot better than the OEM ones.

Congrats on the new car
