I drove both vehicles yesterday. I purchased an Accord ex v6 coupe. You cannot really compare these two automobiles. The Accord was much faster than the tsx and it also had a much better ride quality. The tsx handled better and had better brakes. I got my Accord for 300 below invoice. The acura dealer said they wouldn't vary much from sticker. I really enjoy the refinement of the new accord, but you aren't going to burn through the hairpins unless you go with the 6sp cpe.

I second everything aka150 posted. I just went through the same comparison...and ended up with the '03 v-6 sedan.   I would say that a more fair comparison (size and power wise) would be between the Acura TL and the Accord v6 sedan. I agree that the TSX is nice, but the little 4 is no match for the 6 cylinder in terms of performance. Yes the TSX handles better (stiffer), while the Accord is a bit quieter and much softer.   I guess it depends on what you want. Again I second aka150's comments. Choose the TSX if you want: Acura nameplate, Xenon headlights, manu-matic tranny, tighter handling, stiffer ride, smaller back seat, less power (4 vs. 6 cyl.), less common vehicle,   or the Accord if you want: better value, more powerful engine, softer ride, more rear seat space, cheaper fuel/insurance.   Some people just have to have the Acura because of its luxury name. For them price is not a problem and the TSX or TL is fine. If you want basically the same quality (less the xenons, "tiptronic" tranny, etc.) the Accord provides a much better value.

#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.
