...and im LOVIN' IT!!...i bought the 2010 tsx (4 cylinder) in pearl white, premium package (cuz i dont believe i need navigation, and i dont want to depend on the camera to park.)
my friend who has a bmw 5 commented on how the 2nd gen TSX is more comfortable than his ride (in the front anyway.)
i can't stop staring at the speedometer, it just looks too cool.
the exterior is awesome.
and i dont find it TOO big of a car, maybe just because i've driven bigger or wider cars before.
i think the car DOES need more torque or hp,(i know there's a v6, but with the gas prices lately, it just wasn't worth it) that'll definately make the car even more addicting that it already is.
Another thing is the rims, i mean...yeah they're nice...but i think with such an aggressive front end and sleek back, the tsx deserved something with a little more spice.

i got the car at 7km, and now it's at around 190km. and i've used about 1/4 of my gas. ( is this normal, decent, good?)

all in all, beautiful car, handles great, excellent interior, comfortable and smooth, pretty quick in higher speeds and im just glad i chose this over the is250. (the is feels like a slightly better corolla in a lexus body!! imo.)

I LOVE IT!!
future modifications:
tint tail lights
new rims (not sure on what yet)
drop it by 0.5-1 inch
matching front grill
window tint
possibly an aftermarket intake

Yeah I remember this excitement when I bought mine 2 years ago and I still enjoy this car. Congrats!

congrats-I am planning on replacing my 06 6MT Tsx next June. It now has almost 112,000 problem free miles. We recently bought a '11 sonata 6MT. I have to admit is a very comfortable riding car and the paint quality is alot better than the tsx. It has 4,000 miles after one month.

Congrats and welcome to the forum.

Don't worry about the mileage yet, do follow the break in period recommendations. After a few thousand miles on the odometer, then you will get a proper MPG reading.

If you live in area of heavy snow, use the stock rims for winter driving and get some aftermarket rims for fair weather driving.

I realized we're from the same place. haha, and our winters are pretty random the past couple years.

congratulations as well. if you havent already, you
may want to look into the clear bra for your car to address the paint issue before it really becomes an issue. and like 09TSXtech said, folloe the break in procedure and eventually the ecu will adjust for better mileage. my first tank netted me 280 miles. now im pushin' 400 average, of course with highway driving too. and after eight months i still love it, despite my gripes about the usual issues. nothing that cant be corrected so whatever. enjoy!

Man I feel the same way with my 2010 TSX. This is my first Acura car but my second Honda. Its an upgrade from a 2004 Civic Sedan. I just can't stop looking at the exterior of the TSX especially the unique contours and design. The interior is excellent and the ride very comfy. Its like I always want to drive it around...Lol. The CBP paint is so much better from my NBP civic. This one is so much richer. I am really glad I chose this over the EXL V6 accord!

kcxxi

i had the same dilemma about whether or not to get the V6 accord, but after going back for a 2nd test drive in the tsx i had to choose that over the accord.

BlacK_HawK10

The TSX really is a great choice over the Accord. You get more bang for the buck with the TSX plus it has that it factor over the Accord.

09TSXTech

Great to see more Vancouver drivers, and you are right about our winters... From too much snow a couple of years back to having to truck in snow for the 2010 Winter Games.

Post some pics when you have a chance.

Agreed. And welcome to the forum, congrats on your purchase. Great to hear another CBP owner in BC, are you in Metro Vancouver area also.

BlacK_HawK10

Thanks! Yup Metro Vancouver area here Glad to be a part of this forum!

Haha, yeah it's messed up for sure, and i'll post up pics once i do something interesting...or maybe after a wash.

Oh, yeah speaking of wash, i have a question...this may sound dumb, but some friends of mine tell me not to wash my car yet because it has just been detailed before i picked it up. However, it's hard to resist washing it because i see dust and dirt in some places . How long did you wait before you 1st washed your car and how often do you wash it afterwards?

Also, the tsx i bought is white, not CBP. haha

And I live in Richmond. I'm pretty surprised i haven't seen your car around cuz i'm always paying attention to nice cars.

BlacK_HawK10

You can wash your car anytime you want to. I washed mine 3 days after I picked it up from the dealership but I only went to washworld and I used the spray gun. It only cost me $4 bucks...Lol

Sooner or later I will have to do it by hand after all the rain that we are having.

kcxxi

Oh, you're from Vancouver too?

Yeah, I didn't know if i should wash my car the other day. Good thing i didn't or else it would've been for nothing. but i can wash my car for free @ automall

BlacK_HawK10

Yup I'm Metro Vancouver too

Here comes the rain again ....LOL

kcxxi

niceeeee one day we can have a tsx meet

yeah...stupid rain -.- i can never adjust my windshield wipers to go at the perfect speed because the rain keeps changing the pace...or maybe it's the speed im driving at...

ttk5

w00t! Vancouver represent. We should have our first 2nd gen TSX meet soon before the weather gets rainy

09TSXTech

There are at least 6 of us in Vancouver, Black_Hawk10, kcxxi, ttk5, Shift_Acura, Jamesand7 etc. ttk5, why don't you pm everyone and I will work around my schedule to meet up (kids are back to school).

kcxxi

i'll be there with a stock tsx

but yeah, sure set it up i'll try my best to make it cuz i have school + work.

BlacK_HawK10

don't worry man a stock TSX is already sleek and appealing. Adding aftermarket parts to it will just make it even more sexier
