Got a new 2009 TSX loaner: first impression

I got my car in today for the recalls and I was pretty happy when i saw my loaner car... Always wanted to try a TSX to see how it compares with the TL.

Look: exterior not a big fan of all the chrome for this type of car... kinda getting used to the new grill it's starting to grow on me.

The intererior: A+ I thing the exterior is very well done. the instrument panel is very nice and attractive.. I just love the gages on the new TSX... What I like Best are the seats... Im just in love with those seat. I thing that's what I like best from the whole car are the seat.

Handling: does in no way compare to a TL... feels way too soft for my taste. althought the ride is very smooth. the brakes are good again does not compare to a TL (brembo)

Power: lacking power in my opinion for a car this price and luxury level. the engine sounds ok and his responsive but is lacking about 20hp. I have and auto version and the fun factor is limited. The only fun part is the paddle shifters on the steering wheel...

Overall impression: VERY good carfor someone who is not performance orirented and travelling (good gas milleage), very comfortable. I also likes the backup camera I beleive this is a great feature... but I very glad I bought a TL


Hope you guys enjoy this little review on my first loaner car experience !

Thanks for the review but I suggest you post this in the 2G TSX section or Car Talk. This thread is closed since it is off topic.
