Been lurking for a couple days but decided to join. Thanks to all of you already for helping with some insight(even if you did not know I was there!)
Just purcahased last week a 2009 TSX Tech, palladium with taupe interior. Not by choice, I had a 2004 TSX with just 43k miles on it but it was totaled by a hailstorm in Phoenix three weeks ago. Had no intention of replacing the 04 but could not drive a car that was dimpled like a golf ball.
For those wondering if the 2G is worth upgrading to because they love their 1G I would vote yes. It seems sportier and the tech advances with blutooth etc are awesome.

 

question, why did you opt for th 09 model instead of the 10 or 11?

 

Mostly dollars and cents. I had not planned on a car purchase in the near future but the hailstorm decided otherwise for me I only put on about 6k miles a year and the four year warranty would run out on me way before the mile limit is hit anyway. And I found a tech with a good price and decided to jump on it.

 

I bet you could get a '09 for a GREAT price right about now haha....

 

Welcome and congrats!

 

welcome, sorry bout the old ride. got pics of the damages?

 

i just got an 2010 tsx base for a little over 28k out the door

 

Hail in AZ lol wow i guess Al Gore was right.

 

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the purchase.

 

Check this youtube video on the Oct 5 hail storm.

This gives you a good idea of what size hail was pelting my poor lamented 04! Many were literally over 1 1/2", so larger than golf balls.

 

^ holy crap. dont see those down here at socal

 

I would have said I would never see them in Phoenix either!
I am originally from the Midwwest but I have never seen them there either. This was an unbelievable storm that went though here.
