Back in 1993, you could spend $19K on an Integra GS-R and get the same level of performance the TSX offers.   The TSX does not set any new performance standard for cars priced under $30K. It's barely meeting the standards set 11 years ago.

When I was shopping in December (notta TSX), I saw 'what did you pay' stories that seemed unreal. Actually, however, they were good guidance - once I got to shopping a larger market via the net. I couldn't get the best price posted, but I could get close provided I was willing to travel.

how far were you willing to travel to get a better deal ... i have an acura dealer that i could walk to but they wouldnt get off sticker but is it worth to go to a deal 20 miles away for $500

I could have cut my deal by $800 by going 500 miles. I wasn't willing.   Within a 3 hour drive I found quotes on a Honda Si leftover ranging from sticker ($19.5K) to invoice - $1K+ ($15.8K).   I think staying within a small market really limits a shopper.

"In 1993, you could spend $19K on an Integra GS-R and get the same level of performance the TSX offers."   And the $19,000 Dodge Neon SRT offers the same performance as an Audi S4!   Seriously though, $19,000 in "1993 money" is pretty much what the TSX costs today, and you get an Accord rather than Civic based car that is outrageously safer, more luxurious, feature packed, comfortable, poised, stylish, etc.   I can't believe you even went there...

Believe it or not, I "went there" because it so readily proves my point about the TSX's performance -- it's adequate, but nothing to crow about.   Notice that I didn't say anything about content, structure, or style (which is subjective anyhow).

"TSX's performance -- it's adequate, but nothing to crow about."   Fair enough. For about $5000 more, may I recommend the Infiniti G35? It's not as pretty or as poised as the TSX, but it is a about one second faster from 0-60 (woo hoo!).   I'm sure it doesn't matter that come trade-in time, the TSX will be worth more money than a G35.
#93 of 3847 Just ordered my TSX by maui2k3 Jun 07, 2003 (2:43 pm)
After some haggling, I was able to get an Acura TSX in Carbon Gray with Quartz interior, Automatic and Navigation as well as splash guards and Fog lights for $1200 off of sticker. I would have liked to do better, but I am pretty happy with the price being it was the best I have been able to do with the others in the area sticking very close to sticker.   Persistance pays off. I should be getting it delivered around August. I test drove a Mazda 6 today also and while that is a nice car that is fun to drive, the interior of the TSX was by far much nicer in my opinion. Plus the 6 does not offer Navigation which is a cool toy...

Himler: Performance is not merely 0-60. If you want that..buy a camaro. Car and driver did a very good review of the vehicle...and lauded it's poise, performance, anenities, and an unparalleled level of engineering for a car of it's class. yes, the said that they wanted more horses...but that's only part of the driving equation. To compare this car to a 10 year old integra is...well...not gonna call anyone names here...We'll just say ill advised.   Parker don't listen to what people say on these boards...they will generally only talk about the favorable part of the deal. Sure, they may have gotten 1700 off...but they don't mention they got 3K less than the trade in value on their trade, and that they are paying 8% on a 72 month loan. It's all about the total deal, not the component parts that *sound* good.

Not just 0-60? Okay -- the 133MPH top speed number tells its own story, particularly when you consider the TSX's low, low Cd.
