goodbye cl-s hello tsx

traded my 02 cls for a tsx w/nav today. loved the cl but needed a four door car. drove the tsx and loved it. doesn't drive or sound like a four-banger, very smooth and quiet. the nav is sooooo cool. this forum has been super informative and i'm sure i'll still visit often.

see ya,

the tsx has surprisingly good power, obviously not as fast as the cls. truth is i'll probably buy a summer car for performance(maybe a classic muscle car). as for the posts what can i say, i'm busy(ok maybe lazy)

Congrats, I love the interior (especially how the navi is integrated). Great choice.

Heh, I have 50 posts now after 3 years. Some of us just like to lurk, I guess.

I'm also considering the TSX to replace my CL-S, but if I do I am definitely waiting for the '05 model. No more first year models for me. I hope that they put perhaps the 3.0 V6 from the Accord into the TSX, but I seriously doubt it. 4-bangers shouldn't be in a luxury sedan.

Nice choice.

I love everything about the TSX besides the power. You really have to get the RPM's up there, but other than that, I would trade the CL in a heartbeat.

I'm praying for the AWD 2.2L turbo rumored TSX.

Welcome to the world of the navis. Too bad Onstar isn't offered on the TSX.

Talking on a phone call hands free, and using the navi to get around sure beats using a cell phone in one hand and a mapquest map in the other, at 70 mph on a freeway.

Just to get you started, push the "menu" button. Choose "places". Choose "restaurants."

Now notice you have about fifteen different types of cusine to choose from. (japanese, Chinese, Italian, etc). You've just scratched the surface.

Navi's will be std equipment in every car, save the bottom feeders, five years from now.

I will never own another car without a navi (and heated seats).

Congratulations on your new car!

I am waiting for the first used '05 Model to get my TSX. I am hoping for the turbo or supercharged variant as well.

Congrats on the new car man.

I got a white one as a loaner last month and i had that sucker on a flashing E when i got back to the dealership. It's real fun to drive.

Also do you think we can swap gauges?

I cant help but chuckle when I see a male driving a TSX.

IMHO, it is has a very feminine appearance to it..........

thanks for all the great feedback guys. ive had a couple of days to cruise around and have absoloutly no reservations about the decision. the car handles great but maitains a smooth ride. the navi is awsome-no more mapquest!!!! the interior is more comfortable and supportive than my cl-s (which i didn't think was possible). all in all a great car, and a sweet deal when compared to 325i and c230 (my wife drives a c230 coupe which i really like, you just get alot more for the dollar with the tsx.

c,
yea i know they have it but i don't know how integrated it is in comparo to the TSX. They had it in the q45 long before any other car manufacturer. Honda has improved on it since the get go. The one in the TL>TSX>MDX>ACCORD. It's pretty f'n sweet IMHO.
