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.

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.

"the 133MPH top speed number tells its own story..."   Fantastic! Where do you come up with this stuff?
#98 of 3847 You're making my point, Himiler by prodigalsun Jun 08, 2003 (8:55 pm)
Again, Him, baby, if all your into is speed, buy a detroit monstrosity and be happy. I'm not going to be driving this car 133 miles per hour. What do I care about...fit, finish, how the the steering wheel communicates road data, how much body roll you get in the curves, How the seats grip my body, how the clutch performs, How the shifter rows through the gates...not merely can it do sub 6 zero to 60 and have a 160mph top speed. Those things are important, don't get me wrong...but for me they are not the whole picture fror a vehicle, just one of the elements to be considered.   One of the most fun cars I've ever had was my '90 vw GTI. Horse power? at 2 valves per cylinder, it was like 115 horses. But whipping that car through the narrow streets of Seattle on my way too and from the girlfriends place (Bobst, remember mindy lou?)in the wee hours, man, that was livin'.
