The Accord V6 may post better 0-60 times, but it doesn't feel very fast with that 4speed slushbox. The TSX with the 6 speed, imo, is a better value. It looks better, has a nicer interior, has more gadgets, gets better mileage, and is plenty quick for the average person. The step up to a comparably equiped 328i or G37 is nearly 10,000. You want a nice car at 30 grand, get the TSX.
 
I find everyone who complains that the new TSX not being "sporty" enough is just ranting for rantings sake. You can always find a car that does a particular thing better at a certain price. Try getting a 3 series--with 0 options mind you--leased for 1500 drive off, 380 a month, let alone one with some "basic" options like leather, power seats, or 6 cd changer...

Exactly, People who drive their new Honda's and TSX's be proud! Because, I want out of my 08 GM car. It was a long story of why I was put in the car, but I did a very good gesture for someone and had to choose a GM car so they could lease a new car. I had to give up my 06 accord lease to do it. I never ever wanted a GM car, I really didn't know to much about them, I had to choose a G6, 4cyl, came with leather and roof, I have grown to like it. But, I so miss my Accord! I would love to have a Honda product. My good Gesture...lol was an 08 Jetta which went to another person. So, I leased 2 cars.
 
I am looking to get out perhaps this Spring or Summer. You guys think I will be able to without damage..lol. Pay off and trade in values could be better then? I know that if I stuck with the same dealer, got a VW then I could do better. They sell GM, so they might want my car.
 
So anyway, Be happy and proud you are driving one of the best cars out there. A BMW certainly cannot beat its bang for the buck! It bugs me a bit to hear complain about it, be glad your not supporting GM and their executive jet they now have back. They'll never change. This is coming from someone who favors Honda. So no offense to GM lovers.

You are correct (to an extent) that the TSX is a very good overall package at a reasonable price. However, I do agree with those who don't find this car "sporty" enough. I do currently have a TSX and a G37 and they are night and day. A base G37 has the basic luxuries needed to keep most people happy (leather, one touch windows, xenons, climate control, mp3 jack, etc...) The TSX does have more bells and whistles, but for those seeking the "sport" in sports sedan, nothing replaces whats under the hood. I'll give up my moonroof any day in order to have 330 ponies under my hood.

I agree there are sportier cars--certainly the new TSX isn't a sports car--but even a stripper g37 6mt and 0 options is 5 grand more than the base TSX and the g37 comparably equipped vs. a TSX Tech its 7 grand more. To me, the occasional fun getting onto the highway isn't really worth $7000--I expect most people writing on car forums would disagree with me, though

Yes, Having a high powered engine would be fun and exciting. But, just think those that have those dodge chargers, the challenger, G8, or any V6 car. How often do you really let is rev up to its full potential? Most probably would say they don't do it to often. My co-worker has a charger R/T, with the V8, and I doubt that she ever gets it out to stretch its legs. She literally lives 5min away in town. That is so bad for the car. Even for myself, I am not sure I would rev it up all the time or use the power line the way it was supposed to be. Though would have its fun moments in it, I would not need the power. Some might think its worth having. I am very much used to 4cyl cars, I drove a V8 car once, and it was fun, but even then, I couldn't see myself racing up and down the road all the time, especially if I don't want to get a ticket. It put a smile on my face though.
 
I tell you what though, I test drove a Jetta Wolfsburg edition last spring, This model has the 2.0T engine. I loved it!! Very torquey, and powerful, you could really wind that baby up, a lot of fun on the interstate! Get this, only about $1,000 more than the normal SE Jetta! Totally worth the upgrade! It has the close ratio 6spd DSG transmission! That car was so much fun! Apparently this car beat the V8 Pontiac G8 by a half a second! Of course this is a much smaller car, but impressive!!
 
I have not test driven the TSX, but is the TSX torquey when using the paddlshifters? If the TSX has this type of feel to it, then I would so get it!
 
I think the TSX looks sporty enough, sportier than the new TL I think.

That's very true, the price tag is much higher, but if we are talking leases, it shouldn't be too big of a price difference. Now, if you were buying, I totally agree with you. For example, my TSX runs me about $367 a month and my G37 is about $418 a month. Had I opted for the G35 sedan instead, it would have been around $400 a month. Keep in mind this is with out any cap reduction. In the end, it all comes down to what you value most though. If bells and whistles are your thing, you simply cannot go wrong with the TSX.

I seriously want to test drive the new TSX! I have not done it yet.
 
Do you know if the TSX comes in the red? That would be hot!
 
Correction: It looks as though it comes in the basque red color, which not the brighter "red". Bummer! I think it would look really sporty in that color, but this color still looks good, I think this is the color I saw at the car show. However, I am thinking black if I got the car.

ok so my first few contacts to dealers has come back with a price of 379... this is for 39 months, 15K a year, zero down, total out of pocket at signing is just first month payment and MV fees..... all taxes, bank fees, etc are rolled in
 
at first i thought it was an opener from the salesperson but after reading here it actually seems like a decent price

First off, If the economy wasn't in the bad shape that it is in........
 The new 2009 Acura TSX would never be at this kind of deal right now. Acura has steep pricing, be fast realizing, now is not the time to play games.
 
The deal sounds amazing!! Better than the EX-L 4cyl Accord with navi, that has a sale price of $24k+ average. I would jump on this deal!! This is great!!
 
You have a luxury, sporty, Accord!! That is exactly what it is!!
 
Good Luck!! Sign them papers!
 
Let me know what color combo you got. You are going to have so much fun!!
I am jealous!! I want my Honda Back!

I think the red on the previous generation is what you are looking for (thats what we have on our TSX). Personally, I would opt for the black. I think it looks very elegant on the TSX.
