Yep! They are. Not too flashy, but not boring. Thanks for the compliment!

thanks. i'm new to this.
quick & dirty Altima vs TSX comparison: that altima was a tank and she was good to me for 10 years. 10 YEARS! after around year 5, the suspension really started failing and she rode like a go kart. i probably did not maintain the Altima as I should have but for an 'abused' car, she did well.

the TSX is nice. Lovely interior. Too many buttons. I like that my display changes as the light sensor switches from daylight to night. I also like that the car tells my passengers to "please fasten their seat belts." the low profile wheels are taking some getting used to as I feel every.single.bump in Chicago's streets.

The Altima is a good car and I'd definitely get one for my kid or something as a first car (that was the car i got in college). But for myself, I will probably never buy a non-luxury car again.
