Drove an 09 TSX - impression

Got an 09 TSX as a loaner today. Ugly stick aside, not a bad car. Seems to be the same size as my 06 TL, seats were very comfortable (I'm 6'5", 250 lbs), engine felt peppy enough, but I didn't push it. I just drove it back and forth from the dealer and ran a couple of errands.

Really felt big though.

I drove an 08 TL-S before my friend & salesman dragged me kicking & screaming into the TSX for a test drive. I'm 6'1" 230 and he's about the same height with a little more paunch. (Sorry Mark, lol) Anyway, I was too close for comfort with him in the front seat with me in the TL. *Not* the case in the 09 TSX. The 08 TSX loaner was too smallish also.

I have yet to drive a 09 TSX, to those who have, does it feel like the 08+ Accord? My father has a 08 Accord and while it is a nice car, and a great vehicle for someone like him, it feels too big and bloaty, not something I would want to drive everyday.

I have the 09 TSX, and I test drove the 8th generation Accord (coupe) also. TSX feels bigger than the 1st gen, but the Accord feels like a boat compared to the 2nd gen TSX. TSX has a more responsive throttle and transmission, so the power is more readily available. The V6 feels stronger in the Accord, but the engine and transmission wants to stay in ECO mode most of the time, and the transmission doesn't feel as responsive as the 2nd gen TSX. You will probably feel more comfortable in the nimbler 2nd gen TSX, so do I. (1st gen TSX feels more nimbler, though)
