Nicky, Congratulations! I still thought the TSX was a bit thristy for a 4 banger, but coming from a vobra, it'll be hard to tell the difference. Hows your wedding coming along, or are you already married? Congrats on both fronts bud! miss ya at the gym its been years!

Congrats on the car !

I've said it before and I'll say it again - the grill looks great on the TSX.

My sister bought a 08 TL last year and I love that car, so I was gonna try and find a mint 07-08 TL, but they still go for mid to upper 20's mint. I couldn't pass this up for $27,900!

I agree, but is that really saying much these days? Acura's lineup is

Personally with Honda, I noticed that their V6 gets comparable gas mileage to the 4 cylinder counter part. But the fact that the V6 is nearly $5,000 more than the 4 cylinder is questionable.

Congratulations on a sweet new car!

I have to ask, are you planning on doing anything to the car? Tints, Wheels or the like?

The new(er) car bug is starting to bite me. I have an 04 Accord, and would love to get into an Acura. I have to get the timing belt and water pump replacement done tomorrow to the tune of about $800+. If I do that, I would have to keep the car for another two to three years at least.

Nice new ride, glad you still got the cobra! I love the new TSX's, so the 200hp is not that bad? PMM is def the best color on that car and 27,900 is a steal for a new one, heck the ones on autotrader down here with 15-20k miles are still around 29k.
