I'm curious to see the reason people bought the TSX. I wonder how many bought it because they had to or because they wanted to. Lets see the poll results people...


Yes, I am an MT'er, but I can still be curious.

For me I have 2 vheicles that have sticks. I wanted an auto for when I wanted to relax and cruise. Beside I think its dumb to have a 4 door manual. Take that

Belzebutt

I bought it because I had to, but I have no regrets, I would not trade. Clutchless is the future, I'm sure some people prefer the "feel" and "skill" of typing on a typewriter, not like those pussies who can just press "backspace" and correct their typos.

dom

Option added.

Bad analogy, really bad anology.

GIBSON6594

I didn't click that option

if i wanted a fast car i would've got a 350z, the TSX is just an all around great car and i prefer to drive an auto.

boscenter

I get enough fun with the manual tranny on my motorcycle...having one in my daily driver would be just too much for me to handle.

dom

For me it was the wife. She kinda knew how to drive a stick, but just didn't want to.

When I got my 04, I got the AT because the plan was to pass the car along to my brother, who doesn't know how to drive stick. But he never came up with enough money to afford the payments and I missed driving MT so I traded in for my 06.

You need to change you avatar then.

We could have done without the next to last option.













"traffic" and "spouse" were equally responsible for my AT.

I'll get around to it one of these days...

For me it's my wife and the traffic,up hill and down hills.

MikesRSX

I traded my RSX-S 6MT for a TSX AT due to traffic. I'll probably go back to MT on my next car.

Tsx536

A big reason for me was traffic. That pretty much explains itself.

One of the other reasons is because I wanted my TSX to be a commuter car, so I was worried more about my audio/video setup than performance. Even though I have gotten a lot of performance stuff lately, my a/v setup will still always have priority. The first 2-3k I spent was on all audio videos mods and after I felt like I was done I moved onto performance. I am still glad that I have an auto because I need the ability to multitask if I have to. I have way too many gadgets going on in my car to have a manual. I have bluetooth phone kit, navi, tv, radar, ipod video, Sirius, etc. I can easily get distracted by them.

The goal of my TSX has always been "Fun". My TSX is not the very best at one thing, but instead it's good in a lot of different things. I don't have the single fastest TSX, nor do I want to. I don't have the nicest stereo setup with fiberglass all of the place, I just have a simple install that sounds good to me. I wanted my TSX to be well rounded and balanced and I think I've come pretty close to that goal. I am very happy with my car now.

When I get a real sportscar like an NSX or something, I will definitely get a manual. But for now, I'm happy and having a lot of fun in my TSX!

GIBSON6594

I agree

jpt

I got an AT because... oh, wait, I got a manual

Tsx536

Hey at least you don't have any votes yet

virtualbong

I was a little nervous about getting my first manual car and having it be completely new. I have driven manual before, but I'm no expert. I may eventually get a manual for my next car though, but I do drive a lot, so who knows.

ianS

I really wonder those with the true reason of "dunno how to drive stick" will really vote for this option!

And I dun get the point of 4 door car dun need stick?

GIBSON6594

I hope Dom knows me well enough by now to know I'm just joking

TypeRS

near impossible for me to find a 6MT in the color i wanted and with navi...not willing to wait.

Tsx536

Yeah that was true for me too. When I asked about the manual they said there was only 3 in all of Cali!

jlukja

Oh, it was you. I thought that was the option that dom added while under the influence of "trader's remorse".

GIBSON6594

What's that supposed to mean?

ClutchPerformer

But Dom has three.

dom

Someone's gonna get

jmathew34

Ban Him

GIBSON6594

Did I offend you or something?

rmpage

Nobody makes hand controls that can work a clutch AND shift gears. At least not that I've been able to locate.

jlukja

I thought it was dom.

dom

My reaction to that option was

But I can only ban AT'ers now so Gibson is safe.

jlukja

<-- wonders if a mod was ever banned.

dom

Soopa's banned a few. But only an admin can ban a mod unfortunately.

Count Blah

I love my 6MT, but if I was in bumper to bumper traffic everyday, I'd want a good AT.

kwjustin89

Well, my parents did not allow me to get a manual(says it promotes racing or something), so I wasn't really going to argue since they were buying me a $30,000 car.

ABPTSX

1st car so my parents wouldnt let me get a manual. Doesnt really bother me though, at times i wish i waited a few months, learned how to drive stick, and gotten an sti but the tsx is a damn nice car for my first car.
