And as for your car choice, I'd go for the Acura. If you were getting an Infiniti, you should be getting a G37 instead of settling for a G25...
Plus more gas mileage, and a unique look!! My Acura gets more stares than my cousin's Infiniti.
And at 16 year olds getting into bars...it's really not that hard...LOL

Yo, the guy, you kill killa B?

i dont like montclair. they tried to sell my dad a used tsx saying its brand new. hes like "im an immigrant, not an invalid! i can see the car!" if you want, i can give you the info of my guy at ramsey acura. gave me a 36month lease for 330 a month on a base 2010 I4 tsx a little over a year ago.

lmfao this thread is cracking me up! 45+ replies in less than 24hrs awesome. and whats a good thread w/o killerg, ed, tsxkid, etc going back and forth
anyway about the cars.
every time i see a 4 dr infiniti gXX anything it looks like grandpas car. kinda boring exterior too, as one above mentioned it kinda "blends into the background".
like MOST honda brands do, the tsx will age well and still look unique 3 years from now.
hell, i even see some mostly stock 92-95 civics that were well taken care of and only have mods like a little drop and nice rims and they blend in and even look more stylish than some brand new cars on the road today.
IMO go with the TSX, and go V6 if you can find one and if you can haggle the price down.

Hmm. I actually drove all the way up to bridgewater for my purchase, they gave me a killer price up there, but i go to montclair for service since its close. The service department there has treated me pretty well and they are rated really highly among all the acura dealers in jersey.
mildly amusing story ahead:
I hate when one jackass salesman ruins a dealer experience for you. I was helping my dad shop for a car and we were browswing and stopped by a Lexus dealer. The salesman was horrible. He didnt know the car at all, gave us bullshit stats that i knew were wrong from reading online, and was so pushy and was insisting we buy THAT day. Anyway, we were so put off that we left and decided to check out other stuff first. Fast forward a week and we are at a Benz dealer ready to check out cars and the same fucking asshole comes up to us and tries to sell us a benz . We were like...what? I walked up to the managers office and I was like get this fucking guy away from me. Apparently he got fired from Lexus a week ago and was working at benz temporarily haha
This has been, a mildly amusing story, with KillerG
And russel, my nig, +1 on everything. Infinitis are a dime a dozen as far as styling goes. Some might call the TSX ugly but it still does turn alotta heads

Yeah, I got my first TSX from DCH montclair and they're god, so I was gonna head back there. I guess it's worth calling some other places for a quote..

I'm in the market to lease a new car, and I've pretty much narrowed it down to a TSX and G25x. I originally wanted a GTI, but if you can believe it, it leases for way more than these two cars... Also, these are basically the only luxury cars within my price range.
I had an '05 TSX 6MT which I loved, I'm currently in an Si, and want to go back to something a bit nicer. I have to go automatic because of the fiance (i know - it sucks)... IMO these cars are basically complete equals, and the G25x is also AWD... So, convince me!
Don't give me cheap interior BS, because compared to what I'm coming from both interiors are very nice, plus the Infiniti people will say the opposite of what you say. And I don't want to hear reliability because I'm leasing, plus I hear Infiniti/nissan reliability is just as good as Honda/Acura. I don't want to spur arguments, just honest opinions...

Ill gladly do that than be married ha... at least my hand won't give me a pregnancy scare . Get the car YOU want. Why? because it's yours. You're driving it. At least you won't have to worry about her wrecking it. If you must, take her to a deserted road and teach her how to drive stick until she feels confident driving it. This is how you get you way I guess..ha ha ha. odds are she won't want to drive it unless you are in the car . Good luck bro with that. I'm glad I can by what I want and its mine and Noone else's to potentially take from me at a later date during a nasty divorce.

Okay are you buying the fiance a car or you? If she has her own car then buy what you want to drive. See statements like these are why im single and laugh at stories like yours. You say Navi is too expensive so you're also gonna pass up the Best OEM system money can by(410watt ELS Dolby 5.1 surround vs. 360watt stereo system)? Maybe get a used 2nd gen with Tech Pkg.

I didn't get the manual transmission because my dad said neither my mom nor sis could drive it. Fast forward a year and I'm planning to go to college in Philly and my sister needs the car to commute to NYU from jersey. She can't drive manual and really I woulda had more fun with manual, but it's not a HUGE deal. It's a lease with two years left on it. And they tried to screw me for tech which is why I got the base model. They said it would be an extra 80 or so a month. Basicly they divided the extra 3 grand for it by the lease term, and didn't subtract any residual. I said fuck you guys, I'll just buy a fucking tomtom. The base sound system is more than good enough.
And yea I heard Montclair is better but Ramsey gave the best price. I needed service done and I wanted to try out Montclair, but I needed a loaner and I'm 18 so they refused to give me one and the car was gonna be gone mon-wed and I have shit to do haha. Ramsey gave me an 08 TL. I was more than happy. And the service they provided was pretty good. The guy worked with me on the brake pad replacement(he was like it's 269 but I'll put it as 150 so you can be fully reimbursed. My front right rim was bent and the treAd was worn because of the alighnment and he called my tire warranty and got everything replaced himself and it was all covered. So I was by all means satisfied

Really the two cards aren't comparable . The G25x is AWD and comes in at 36.8k, the TSX is not and costs 30.5k w/o tech.
6k for AWD is a lot. Plus the TSX just looks better. I guess if you are leasing you only care about payments so you should buy the TSX. Then again, what do you expect on an acura board.

And yeah, i love the service at montclair the few times ive been, but they are so popular that getting a loaner is near impossible unless you reserve one a while in ahead

The purchase price of a car says nothing about the lease price.

i got my lease price down from $30,xxx to $26,xxx.
i negotiated it as if i was going to finance it first, then decided to lease it at the end.
otherwise i wouldve been leasing it at MSRP which would make the monthly payments higher

I test drove the G25X ...and have had the TSX as a loaner twice..........that is a no brainer and not because this is ACURAZINE...............
The G25X is a waist of money...............if you are going for a G anything the least you could do is a base G37X.......no comparision .....
TSX over the G25X anyday......

The G25x and the TSX are both good cars and either is a good choice. I am more concerned about your girl-friend. If she does not learn to drive a stick before you wed, you won't own a stick until you have three cars (she will need to borrow ours from time to time).
Just a thought, choose either of the cars and ditch the girl. Or ditch the girl first and buy a stick now : )

Now if your comparing the V6 model of the TSX it has 280 HP and starts at the same price as the G25X ....it's a washout ......in that case the G37X is the best value .....if you want to go infiniti.............

not to mention that the G either model feels tighter inside yet bulkier outside IMO the handling on the TSX was better than the G.......the only infiniti i drove that had better handling was the Gcoupe .....but go figure it's a coupe it's supposed to .........
but as most will say yo have to drive both , compare all ,know what you have to spend .....understand what you want .....and what you expect from the car ......and go from there .........

Killer, that's a good one.
I'm with that guy who said G37 or no go, like I mentioned earlier.
It's like you can get a baby infiniti, the G25X, or the Acura TSX. Like you might not feel like you're getting the whole deal on the G25X...you know?

in the case of leasing i always say go with the best deal .....all i am saying is if you are comparing .......the G25X is really not worth it .......that's just my opinion......if i was going to lease and was able to get the G37X for a couple dollars more than the G25X i would go for the better car..........but if the difference in payment is tremendous i would say go for what you can afford........everybody gets different cars for different reasons..........i say get more for your money.......or atleast try to ........but they are both nice cars ......
