Im sellin my gsr EG hatch in a month or so and im lookin for an '04-'05 TSX black/dark silver 6 speed. I was wondering how everyone likes their cars... of course if your still on this fourm you prob love them ( ) but.... what are some draw backs. what do you like and dislike about them?

What do they compare to in terms of acceloration and 1/4 times... stock?

would just like someone else's 2 cents, THANKS

 

jesus.. come on 16 views and no replys

 

The car is a nice car, very comfortable.

Likes:
Good torque
Ergonomic interior (leather, heated seats)
Good looks (chicks dig the dual pipes)

Dislikes:
Not enough power
Turning radius SUCKS!!!!
Sound system upgrades a little tricky
DBW(drive-by-wire)

Its a good car though, i got mine with the full Acura optional bodykit and I just added Password JDM yellow fogs.

 

Well mine isnt exactly the same (UK Accord) but seeing as not many people are posting answers....

As willyboy said, it's very comfortable, the seats are so adjustable that it's very easy to get a great driving position. There is a lot of room inside, they are very refined to drive and there are many small touches that make life easier; rain sensitive wipers, cruise control, electric remote trunk release, bluetooth phone, heated electric leather seats, 6 disc in-dash CD changer etc etc. and countless tiny things that make it a great car to own. I also find it good fun to drive, very torquey (i have a turbo diesel though) and it handles well even in stock trim.

In all honesty there is nothing i dont like about it. It goes, stops and steers well and it's supremely comfortable. I love mine.

There is nothing for you not to like. You're jumping several generations, and you will be generally impressed.

 

The TSX is a great car! altough mods are the number one thing on parts stores list for the car, it is GREAT IMO!!
all i have done to it is HID 12000K fog lights and RAYS Lugs... i am getting a car compute installed next friday, and by the summer i want Tein Type Flex suspension and 19" Ron Jon wheels...

but for my car, my only complaint is that it drinks gas in the city. i fill the car up once a week... BUT, but it is awesome on gas on the highway. Mines is 6 speed and it is soo fun to drive. atleast once a week i do 200 km/h just to open her up a little... id say go for it, get the TSX

not too many car out the have what this car has to offer... I wanted a Type R from the beginning but i am happy with the TSX...

Im thinking about trading it in for a Subaru WRX STI, will you guys hate me&gt;? LOLz

 

My only complaints are that it's a little underpowered for the price and the horrible turning radius.

 

thanks bunches guys... i was thinkin about a TL also but it seems like the TSX is an all around better car. plus i need a stickshift its been a proven platform for years now so all/most of the bugs should be outa the car now. and it would be a hella lot easier to mod if i chose to compared to a TL thanks again

UP for more opinions

 

anyone else?

 

although i disagree with ***** (i wouldn't say the cl9 has good torque), i can say that you will be hard pressed to find a luxury sedan (entry level or not) at such a great value. i went from an ej8 to my tsx and i love it. there aren't many power upgrade options after I/H/E other than comptech SC and/or hondata, but with the JDM euro-r and EDM accords overseas, there is strong aftermarket support IMO.

i forgot to mention this car is still sexy as hell even after 4 years on the market (new generation/chassis TBA 1st Q 2008)

 

sweet... yeah i test drove an 08 tsx auto today. it drove great but im crossin my fingers the 6 speed is MUCH quicker. even though i felt the torque in the higher rpms cant wait to get one

 

i went with an auto bc of my commute.. those who have the 6 speed usually dont have the transmission remorse that the ATers do

like you said, on the freeway at higher RPMs the torque is way more noticeable.

my first mod was a progress RSB and there was an obvious gain in cornering. after that came the injen cai...

GL with your decision!

 

I went from a b16 swapped EK to my 06 TSX 6speed 2 years ago and I love the TSX its nice and looks sexy, but i miss the fun driving factor of my hatch. I'm looking around right now for a eg hatch to drive daily and for fun.

 

sold my eg then got a s2k now i got a tsx love it way more the the eg and s2k but the s2k is more fun to drive

TEIN FLEX w/EDFC and REGS FTW....Good luck on your new purchase. Post pics when it's all said and done.

 

def man i just gotta sell this first

 

Don't forget about the paint job. It sucks.

 

PWP on BLACK FTW...

 

^^^ what offset and size rims and suspension please

 

I believe they are off an S2K and have staggered offsets. They're 17's but i'd be lying if i said i could remember exactly what widths/offsets they are.

 

go with a 4dr SI

 

likes
1. compact sedan size
2. HID lights
3. great handling
4. good mpg
5. good looking car w/ the oem kit (turn signals on the side mirrors)
6. leather + heated seats
7. premium sound (8 speakers. may not be loud enough for you but it's perfect for me

dislikes
1. only takes premium at the pump
2. no LED tail lights
3. could use another 20-30 hp

it's a great car overall.
