#11 of 15 Re: Depends on the driver [nj2pa2nc] by mockenrue Jun 15, 2007 (9:02 pm)
Replying to: nj2pa2nc (Jun 15, 2007 10:46 am) I've heard nothing but great things about the 6spd manual TSX. Even using "sport shift" mode on the auto helped to get more power as you hold the gear. Most reviews recommend the stick over the auto for the TSX, and the opposite for the Altima.   One other complaint I had about the TSX was how cheap some of the fixtures are. On the driver door for example: there is a really cheap looking plastic lock plunger that always gets in the way when you're paying at a drive through or just want to rest your arm. Also, there is only one-touch window on the drivers side. The Altima has no lock plunger and one touch driver and passenger windows (along with one touch sun roof which the TSX also doesn't have). Obviously these are very minor gripes, but it's disappointing to see so many corners cut on an upscale brand like Acura.

Just finished sencond test drive of each. Auto TSX ok for around town, expressway power still not sure, floored it a few times could not get the auto to kick down, radio OK actually thought the Bose in the Altima might have sounded better. Going over bumps at high speed the suspension is rock hard. Better MPG. Altima 3.5SL, huge amount of power, no TQ steer, not as nice inside, radio good. Really like the VQ but MPG not great. Kids are grown don't need a big car and the Altima though midsize is more than I need. Why cant I find a car with the interior of TSX, power of Altima, gee that sounds like the TL. Might be more than I want to spend. Have to wait and look at 08 Accord, but again perhaps bigger than I need.

Replying to: jd10013 (Jun 22, 2007 2:49 pm) This dealer is a big nissan dealer but seems to carry a lot of 2.5 cars, they only have a 2.5 coupe not interested in a 2.5. The 2.5 is Nissans bread and butter. But if I can find a 3.5 sl coupe it might be intereting. Old Mike Replies to this message: jd10013 (Jun 22, 2007 5:11 pm)

Replying to: mf15 (Jun 22, 2007 4:32 pm) they'll be 3.5's, its just that the car has been out less than a month, and most of the ones made have be presold. But, you may not even like it. When you said the sedan was too big, but you liked the engine, if figured the coupe might fit the bill for you.
