Mike it definitely has a better interior AND Exterior then the Accord and for that reason I wanted to test drive it. It fell short in a few critical areas for me and therefore it's off the shopping cart. Areas it fell short (that I required): - Less interior space especially the rear. - Power - I've been waiting for honda to increase the horses in the accord and finally they met my expectations. - regular fuel vs premium fuel. - more trunk space. - mileage (very close but I believe the accord is rated better). More power and better mileage ... can't beat that combo. - The seat is perfect for me in the accord and a little snug in the TSX. Long drives could be an issue for me. cheers... |

Bank Residuals for leases have nothing to do with actual market values for resale. I can pretty much assure you that the TSX won't be worth 64% of sticker in 3 years. That's an inflated lease rate to get the payment low. Bad move if you understand leasing. tim books don't buy cars...people do |

The superior styling and quality of material of the TSX along with the power and room and comfort of the Accord V6.......in the '04 TL. I think I will line up for one with chequebook in hand. If Navi is also offered, I'll be laughing! |

| anybody agree tsx's tail light way too much like 97 version Camry, that bothers me, I think Accord isn't that bad looking =) | |
| There is some resemblance, but overall it's fairly attractive. Actually, IMO, even better than the tail lights on the new TL. | |

HELP ME...I know you all have been over this before in previous talks........but I need more than that....I'm still not sure what to do. I'm 23, engaged, not looking for the most speed, just an upgrade from my pathetic 89 camry 4 banger. I can afford about 30 or so, without saying why for any of the following, i simply stated want, luxury feel, good pick up, front wheel drive, very low maintaince 4 door sedan. Honda/Acura seem to have what I'm looking for, I just can't make up my mind on which....the 03 Accord Sedan, V6 EX w or w/o Navi...the 04 TL or TSX...of even a used 01, 02 TL or the new 03 TL before the new one comes out..... Such dilemmas.......ideas appreciated immensly. I obviously can't make up my own mind, so someone help me make it for me! haha |

If you don't care primarily about acceleration, you should be comparing the Accura to a 4cyl EX-L and save yourself another $2k. Or get the navi instead of the V6. The 4 cyl Accord has good acceleration (not great) but will certainly be a step up from an '89 Camry. Don't forget to factor in the higher fuel costs for premium gas, plus the 4 cyl Accord will get much better mileage than the Accura. Figure $200 extra/yr for gas for 15k miles/year. |

The only reason I'd get a 4 banger is because that's all that's offered in the TSX. I would like a V6 but, I'm leaning toward the TSX. I'm kind of comparing apples and oranges I know, but I don't want a V4 accord, if I do, I'll just get the TSX. Pricing wise, from original MSRP. The fully loaded top of the line EX Accord w/Navi is very comparable to the TSX w/Navi. I guess I should be comparing the EX Accord w/Navi to the TL w/Navi....haha...but that would make too much sense! |

"I can afford about 30 or so, without saying why for any of the following, i simply stated want, luxury feel, good pick up, front wheel drive, very low maintaince 4 door sedan" You just described a EX V6 Honda Accord! |

I know you are rite Ken, BUT, since I'm used to an 89 camry, I also described the TSX AND the NEW and/even OLD TL. Again, when I say 30 or so, I guess I really mean 25 to 35. So it's a toss up. I'm more on the side of the Accord and the TSX...not so much the TL...if the TL it would have to be the new one I think....the old (03) and before are (as someone else told me) on an old platform and isn't such a good car anymore. |
