Default TSX

I tried the TSX 6 speeed yesterday and my first impression was that it handled like a BMW325. I was in the market for an Accord EXL 5 speed but now that I tried the TSX I changed my mind. The dealers however are selling sticker and don't negociate much, that's gonna change in a few months I Hope.

The engine is smooth but I was expecting more power out of it. It's rated at 6.6s/100km(60mph) but it didn't feel that fast. Maybe that's because the engine is quiet. I liked the manual tranny it feels tight and precise. My parents have a TL and i tried the Auto sport shift for a couple of miles but you get fed up and just leave it on D. A real sports car should be manual.

This car is oriented to the buyers who are looking for a high performance family car. It only has a 4 cyl and the performance is on par with many 6 cyl, this speaks for itself. Fuel consumption is also lower than the 6 cyl. To fill up a gas tank in Canada 17 gal The outside looks classy without the bells and whistles. The inside looks very well made and everything is within easy reach.

It's selling for 35,750.00 cdn all in. In the States it sells for 26,990.00 USD ($40,485.00cdn exchage rate X1.5 ) 2 months ago the exchange rate (X1.6) would have made the price in cdn funds 43,100.00 cdn. This means that if you could buy in Canada the TSX would cost you 23,800.00 USD now and if the exchange rate gets back like 2 months ago 22,343.00 USD. A freind of mine sells used cars and most higher end cars end up being sold in the States because they make alot more money with them.

Anyway I like this car.
