#11 of 661 out the door Accord ex v6 coupe auto by cms5 Jul 24, 2003 (12:16 pm)
The total with tt&l in tx was $24,190 plus I got 2.9%apr. This car is much better than my 02 in almost every way.

If that includes TTL then you got the deal of the century, are you sure that includes TTL?
#13 of 661 yep. by cms5 Jul 24, 2003 (11:04 pm)
I Got it at actual dealer cost. TTl was only $850 due to my trade. I was pretty happy with the deal.

Well you cant really say you got the car fora certain price by subtracting the trade in value. A better means of showing people how much you paid is by saying, I paid this much for the car , and I received this much off the purchase by trading in another vehicle.
#15 of 661 NO by cms5 Jul 28, 2003 (12:05 am)
I got 18500 for my trade and I owed 18500 on my trade. In TX you get to subtract the value of your old vehicle off the price of the new one when you figure sales tax. I was just explaining why my ttl was so low.

Just to help you folks in deciding, here is what you could expect. Tested both cars (automatic) and got these times from a stop watch.   0-100 Km/h   Accord V6: 8.25 - 8.75 secs   TSX: 12.5 - 13 secs.   I did 3 trials for each.   Fuel:   Accord - regular   TSX - Premium (dealer told me)   Cheers...

You are serious with the stop watch??   How accurate can that be ?   There is no way the TSX is that slow, 4 seconds slower then the accord, highly doubt it.
#18 of 661 TSX 0-60 times.... by wgn4snow Jul 28, 2003 (11:22 am)
Perhaps the TSX time was 0-60 and back to a full stop..?   I drove the TSX this weekend, and though I did not time it with a stopwatch, it must be faster than 12+ seconds. My current 1.6EL (Canadian Acura 4-door Civic Si) is about 11 seconds for 0-60, and the TSX feels much faster than that (and this was with 4 passengers aboard).   The "feel" of the V6 Accord (4-door) and the TSX are different. The Accord feels more effortless in straightline acceleration, whereas you can throw the TSX around more at speed without losing it. Mind you, the TSX will fly for you, but you are in the 5,000 rpm range, while I never got the Accord V6 over 4,000. The advantage to me for the TSX is that it is shorter. Narrow streets and a small garage are factors.   In Canada, the TSX does have heated mirrors. Replies to this message: cybergypsy (May 06, 2005 6:23 am)

"You are serious with the stop watch?? How accurate can that be ? There is no way the TSX is that slow, 4 seconds slower then the accord, highly doubt it."   It's the same way I time every car I drive. It's not accurate to say .1 or .2 secs and I don't claim that it is. In my opinion, at least for myself, it is within .5-.75 secs accurate. If you use the same procedure it isn't hard to do. This is the same method I used since my 87' accord and it has been very reasonable.   The TSX felt very decent in its acceleration but the times suprised me very much, just as it has you. It could have had some sort of defect or maybe they used regular fuel and it needs premium ...I don't know. I just thought that I would give my findings and let everyone decide on their own. I drove the cars (Accord & TSX) one after the other within 1hr. Conditions were the same.   Maybe the manual is better?????   cheers...

Not sure about the times, but then again you never know. I can't really assume considering I never drove the car, I have only read reviews.   Can't deny that the TSX is a nice car though. I love the instrument cluster, so classy.
