if it was me, I would get the TSX....that or a TL, but thats just me.

 

I think the TSX looks WAY better than the accord. Its a tough call with the power differance, but I did read that the 200hp engine in the tsx is the finest honda has ever made. If it can significantly outhandle the accord and be more fun to drive than I would choose the TSX.

High redline and quick handling = fun for the driver even if it is slower than the accord in a straight line

 

accord .... you can put some good suspension on the accord for like 1k and be able to stay right with if not outhandle the tsx.

 

What about nav system?

 

The nav adds quite a bit of weight and plus i can or at least i claim to be able to read maps well. Anyway, i drove the TSX today and it was AWSOME. You can definitly tell the engine is not as powerful, but in the turns, it would probably leave the accord. Like someone said earlier, im not dragging this thing so straight line 1/4 isnt a huge priority. What is a priority is that the interior is so choice. Anyway, my entire experience was hampered by a salesman that was a total dick, which kinda sucks, but I still think im going to get the TSX. I got this guy to 26k which isnt much off MSRP, but like i said he was being an a$$ the whole time so i dont know. I realize its a pretty rare car with only 15k being sent to the US, but am i getting taken out back and beaten like a red-headed stepchild at 26k? Thanks for everyones input!

 

if it's around 26K flat, you're getting a decent deal, but it all depends what is on there. i know the only true option on it is the navi, but if you can squeak in a spoiler and the underbody kit for 26,500 - 27,000, that's a pretty sweet deal.

 

Spend an extra 5-7 grand and get the TL

 

looks and amenities=tsx, engine and coupe=accord

 

Accord V6 w/6 spd.

 

The TSX is not the Euro-R...the EURO-R has a K20A 220HP, just like the CTR AND ITR. The TSX is the Accord 24S in Europe and Japan.
