Shouldn't be bad if you have a clean record.

You know, I love my TSX (2010, 6MT) and look forward to driving it, but I know where you're coming from. It's just not quite there as a sport sedan. It's really close though, which almost makes it more frustrating. Why couldn't Honda, with its depth of performance expertise, just take it all the way there? IMO, it only needs: (1) another 10-15 lb.-ft. of torque, which probably only requires direct injection; and (2) better steering feel, so it feels more "locked-in," especially on center. A stronger return to center in the last few degrees would help. Both are easy fixes, so I'm optimistic about the next generation.

Congrats on your EVO, and give us updates about your experience with it.

Hopefully Honda goes in the right direction, I do anticipate the next gen to be better, they lost one faithful multiple return buyer. I love the Evo with all of it's power on tap, but do miss the TSX's interior and quality.

That sucks, I just found out my insurance is slightly less with the Evo. Not everyone has the same record or live in the same location. LOL

Why not get a BMW M3 instead? Instead of spending the equivalent to mod a 4 banger japanese auto?

BMW M3 is a real fun car to drive and the M1 is coming out soon as well.

I like the Evo X more which is why I went with that instead.

We had good luck with the Mitsubishi's we have owned. Checked out the evo but decided against it-wanted 6MT. Wish you good luck and hopefully you will find the enjoyment that you missed in the tsx. Very pleased with our 06 6MT tsx.

I went from an 07 Si to the TSX and had thought it would at least drive similar to the Si in stock form. Maybe not in performance but similar feel as the k20z3 is basically a smaller version of the k24z3.

I really didn't want to go down to 5 spd on the Evo but the contract was signed and I owned the TSX. Mitsu was giving a great deal so I went with them in the trade that and turbo makes me smile all day. Wasn't anything else in the market that I wanted.

I've done my own seal and wax on it thanks.

The 1st gen is more hardcore (and Civic like) and the 2nd gen has been softened and enlarged (more TSX like) to appeal a broader audience.

Exactly! Kind of like dating a girl you're not into. lol Life is too short to stick with something your heart isn't set on.
