The VSA in the TSX is very cool. The tire spin is so minimal and the TSX is a great all year car - winter no exception. wow! 3 hour drives in the snow make for one wandering post. Sorry!

God forbid that someone beats you off the line by .7 seconds!  Who cares. Some pick-up trucks will clean many "sport" sedans off the line. I was in a cadilac CTS for a couple days and it has power. It's faster than my TSX no doubt. But, holy crap was I happy to get back in my car! Don't even get me started with the domestic car scene

Comming of a Jeep GC lease in August, I have leased Jeeps since 1996 but now would like a car, kids are grown just me and the wife. Wife has also leased accord I4's last one we had was an 02. Anyhow my point is that I just test drove and auto TSX, loved the car especially the interior, but,but it seemed so slow. It even seems slower that when I remember driving the 02 accord. Am I crazy. The real dilema is when the 08 accord comes out with the new v6 engine and I am sure many other improvements, also the possibility of a new TSX. Just might have to lease the GC for a few extra months into the fall to see what the new models have to offer. Old Mike |

We have 3 Honda in our driveway. Our 04 EX-L 5MT, a 06 TSX NAV 6MT, and a 06 Civic Si NAV coupe. And to tell the truth, my favorite car is the Civic. It's the perfect car for commuting. And the 2.0 has the perfect zingyness that's missing in the larger 2.4 in the TSX. That engine sounds amazing running up to 8000 rpm. The only thing I miss in the Civic is the climate control.

Replying to: neteng101 (Mar 02, 2007 3:31 pm) They have that, it's called a TL!  The TSX would lose many of its great handling characteristics with the addition of 3.0L + engine weight. The 2.4L TSX is probably the best balanced FWD car I've experienced. The country is getting hooked on horsepower though (270 hp in a Camry? C'mon, I-20 runs past Talladega Speedway, but we don't have to pretend that I-20 IS the speedway, do we?

Replying to: thegraduate (Mar 02, 2007 3:38 pm) The TSX may be balanced but it is no match for the RWD IS350/335i and will be left in the dust. Even the 328i packs more punch than the TSX. SH-AWD will shift the bias of weight, allowing a smaller V6 to go into the TSX. And the TL has the J32 already, its a bigger engine.
