Most reviewers say the 6-speed shifter sucks, clutch throw is too long, and it's ratios are too close (much due to the under-powered engine, I assume). The auto is pretty good, though.
Which reviews said the shifter sucks? I've only read good things about the shifter. Wait, maybe those reviews you're talking about come from people who own Camaros. You know, guys with mullets and F-bodies are always dead-on when it comes to analyzing Honda's products. :ugh:

I've read all the posts and several articles. I haven't driven it. I'm about as open minded as I think I could be about this car, considering most reviewers give it ~7.5-8.0 out of 10. Not all that impressive. I think it does have some high points (especially the interior), but it also has several low points in what I consider key areas.
Again, which reviews are you talking about? Provide some links to reliable, respected sources or publications! :rant:
I guess if your "key areas" are bad handling, crappy quality, poor styling and interior design, lack of active/passive safety features, and a big, fast V8 (all of which are "key areas" on cars like the TransMaroBird), the TSX is not for you.
For those who want a rather luxurious, safe, sporty, reliable, and economical Japanese-built FWD sedan, the TSX is an excellent choice (IMO).
