Replying to: 9er99 (Apr 11, 2006 9:11 am) Yes, but TSX offers some features the IS250 doesn't offer: power leather seats std., tilt steering wheel, 60/40 folding back seats, larger cargo capacity... This piece from ToV may be worth quoting here a propos TSX handling and someone's nonsense comments that since TSX is based on the European Accord it must be "old technology". "The magazine "AutoCar" had a "Britain's best handling car" super shootout. They had a bunch of categories, and for the saloon category they compared the Euro Accord Type S to the new Audi S4 and Volvo S60r. Keep in mind that the euro accord only has 187hp and is tuned with a softer suspension than the TSX, and only gets 205/55R16 wheels vs the TSX's 215/50/17s. Amazingly, the Accord won the comparison. It even had a better laptime around rockingham than the 300hp, AWD S60R, and was only 1 second slower than the Jag XJ-R, RX-8(!) and 1.5 seconds slower than the Mini Cooper S Works. you can see the scans of the article here (you'll have to scroll down to find the Accord part): http://www.elisetalk.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=3101&perpage=20&highligh- t=evo&pagenumber=1 The Accord's peak cornering speed of 66mph is pretty darned good for a tallish sedan, and it beats the rx-8's peak corner speed by 2mph. It also matches the Mitsubishi EVO VIII FQ300's peak cornering speed. |

Replying to: speedracer3 (Apr 10, 2006 6:19 am) TSX still looks like Civic. Infact, all Acura/Honda cars looks like Civis(except NSX). Honda has styling issue(boring). TSX is just not in same class as G35, IS 350 or BMW 3. The TL also looks like Civic. |

Terrific looking car?...what are you smoking? The IS250 has the ugliest looking rear and fat on the side. Enough of this, the IS looks like a KIA

Replying to: from_fl (Apr 13, 2006 10:04 am) the testosterone is running in the high cotton around here. Differing opinions on the relative looks of the tsx and the IS250 are just that - opinions. For every person that thinks the tsx has better looks I can find someone who thinks that the IS is better looking. throwing around insults and making unsubstantiated claims like "the tsx is a glorified Civic just shows ignorance. The tsx has a different engine, wishbone suspension, better quality interior parts...etc....etc...etc... I will be happy with either car. Like my grand pa told me,"If everyone liked the same things..... everyone would be after your grand ma". |

We need to right now back off the personal comments. We are here to talk about the cars and not each other - let's keep that in mind. Thanks. |
