Just picked up a Black TSX on Friday

Non-navi, 5speed.
Had the dealer tint the windows before I picked it up. They did a great job. 20% all around.
After some fussing around, I finally got my iPhone 3g to connect through the USB. I read someone's comments about removing their videos from the phone. After doing that, it synched right up.

Overall, I am very pleased. I think the sound system is great. I was shocked to hear the sound quality. It blows away the 2004 TSX I had before this.
The buttons on the dash are very well laid out. One thing I don't like is that I can not turn on the radio from the steering wheel.
On my G35, the Mode button would turn on the radio. In the TSX it doesn't do anything.

LOL. Too true. When I got my car I thought I had convinced myself that I was going to get the Aero kit and just drive it. Now I've got wheels on the way, springs are next, intake and new speakers. Who knows when and if it will stop...

Please compare your experience with the steering and handling of your 2004 TSX to the 2009 TSX

congrats! car looks great with the tint.

I can't decide if I like black or polished metal better on the 2G but I'm leaning more towards black, especially after these pics.

You should look at the Grigio Metallic, the color is in between Polished Metal and the black.

Looks great. Hopefully (if all goes as planned) I will be picking up my Grigio Base 6MT!

Probably just the lip spoiler and a painted grill.

From what I remember the steering on the 09 is a lot softer than the 04. The 09 is still very accurate and on point. It's hard to explain...there isn't much resistance to the wheel when taking a turn. It kind of makes you think it's got infinite grip =)
Handling overall is great. Suspension is tight and smooth. IMO the differences are minimal.

I can't decide if I like black or polished metal better on the 2G but I'm leaning more towards black, especially after these pics.
I think the Polished Metal is a little boring on the 2G...I like it but the Carbon Gray from last year was nicer.
The Vortex Blue and\or Red would be my #2. I would have to see the red in person though. Make sure you see everything in person first!

yeah I like the Grigio too jeff but up here in Canada the Grigio is only available on the tech, and I'm probably getting the base.

OHH, didn't realize you lived up north. Maybe they will add Grigio to the base model for 2010????

You do get one combo that we don't and I wish we did as I would love to see the Basque Red/Taupe combo.
