they're completely different cars IMO. i have an 05 rsx-s, and have driven 2 TSX loaners (2 weeks), and a TL (1 week).

After having the rsx, driving the tsx was like being on vacation, its relaxing. Interior is nice, roomy, and quiet. Getting back in my car, it felt "raw".. alot more fun to drive, more nimble, and the weight difference was more apparent than i thought it would be.

you choose.

It's not very hard to go to acura.com and compare the two cars... why make someone else do your work for you? People here can give you their opinions, but you need to look at acura.com for specs - stop making someone else do your grunt work

IMO, TSX is a bit overpriced.. If the money is not the issue, I would choose the TSX anyday over RSX-S.. You get alot more with the TSX, for ex, LED tails, Projector HIDs, Optional Navi and Bluetooth..

I hate the ebrake on the tsx and the interior. The ebrake feels like its made out of cardboard and you sit way too high in the tsx...ionno justthe interior seems a little off. IMO i'd go with the RSX-s

the rsx was my first choice when buying a car and i was pretty set on buying. My dad saw the tsx and i test drove it and thats when i said i MUST HAVE it. Well got it and i am soo much happier with the tsx because of the extra(a lot more) features it has. No regrets. Only complain people have about the tsx is that its slow, i dont think its slow. a 6 speed will do 0-60 in less than 7 secs and 1/4 mile about 15secs
