if we got the best from using premium we would use it but we seem to get excellant results using regular. just because the car cost $30,000 does not mean it will not perform good with regular gas. we owned a 98 eagle talon tsi awd that was $25,000new. It recommended premium-we used regular gas and when we sold it, it had 125,000 miles with the original turbo, engine, clutch, transmission and performed excellant. when we did our same road test using premium gas (same speed limit,etc) our gas mileage went down almost 3mpg. as i repeat use what works for you just enjoy the tsx. I love mine.

I bet you do love it. I want one but after seeing the similar numbers of my 95accord v6 in everything, its like getting the same car so at my time of purchase, I may get a TSX, TL or MDX. The passat is looking good too. OH THAT DIESEL JETTA or TSX!!! SOOOO many choices!
Regardless of which i pick, they all need premium....

we owned quite a few diesel vehicles-1976 mercedes 300d, 1980 mercedes 300sd, 1980 volvo diesel, 1983 mitsubishi turbo diesel truck, and a 1985 volvo turbo-diesel. If you want lack of get up and go the diesel without turbo would be the choice. when it got real cold the cars were not very easy to start (even when using the winter-blend diesel) our 1980 volvo diesel helped stop tailgaters. if the driver got too close to me I would just downshift and they would get a big cloud of black smoke. europe has alot of diesel vehicles that can not make it into this country because of regulations. My mom owns a 98 accord v6-no fun- looking forward to see what the new generation tsx looks like.

I live in miami, it gets cold to like 47º maybe twice a year!! Most likely, the next tsx is the sports4 concept. I want the tsx so i'm willing to wait for a diesel. Plus the jetta tdi comes out in 09 when i graduate so i have plenty of time to save up.

we gave up the cold climate 2 years ago-live on the coast of NC. we formally lived in the pocono mountains in PA. for some time vw had the only diesel that could meet the US regulations for emissions. since then other cars have been able to meet them (mercedes). Hopefully more will follow. It does take time to get use to the diesel KNOCK.from past experience manual transmission was better with diesel vehicles.

I just read your message and wondered if you found a solution. I have a 2005 TSX that has had the same problem for all of its 45K mile life. I am pretty sure it’s the power steering. However, Santa Monica Acura says it’s “normal” and won’t try to fix.

TSX - customization of Information Display problems

Just took delivery of 2007 TSX yesterday. Can't seem to get the car to recognize the remotes in order to to say "Welcome Driver 1". I just get the generic "Welcome". I've locked and unlocked the car with the remote as instructed to no avail. Without this recognition, you can't go in and customize any of the cars settings. I'll call the dealer tomorrow (monday) but they are 30 mins away and I was hoping somebody knows a trick to this to save me from having to drive all of the way down there.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

put your key in the ignition and start the car . and on the door you will find the memory buttons for l and 2.there is also memo above that. push that button first and then the # button. i think that should work. when i bought my car the salesperson did it for me. the dealer i bought from is 700 miles from me. It used to be only 50 miles but I moved. you also can find out for sure in the manual but that is how I was shown. good luck

I can get the memory seats to work just fine. It's the customization of the Information Display that isn't recognizing driver 1 vs. driver 2. I've read the manual completely but can't seem to find out what's wrong. I'll talk to the dealer and see what the scoop is and post back.
Thanks.

Took it to the dealer. They pushed and held buttons on remote a certain way and presto - they worked fine. Now I am able to customize all settings of vehicle.
