i'm speaking of MT for both
class doesn't matter..LX, EX, V6
overall, i want to know which is a better car (and you are free to define better in terms of luxury, speed, performance, fun, etc, etc) and why?
thank you!

 

acura is the more luxurious offspring of honda isn't it?

 

They are both Accord's to be honest assuming '06 V6EX vs. '06 TSX, I'm going to vote for TSX and mostly for 2 reasons.

1. Looks, I like the TSX style better...this is simple opinion.

2. warranty, you can spend $27k on either car and get wonderful machines with simaliar performance, both are C&D top 10 picks. But only the Acura has a 4yr - 50,000mi warranty standard. Sure it's a Honda, but warranty is warranty.

But neither is bad choice IMO.

 

TSX will handle better.

In terms of speed go...Accord I4 < TSX < AV6

Looks are subjective, but IMO TSX > Accord coupe > Accord sedan (even though the refreshed Accord looks a lot better now imo).

Luxury, TSX gets the nod, but an Accord EXV6 is right up there as well.

I'd take the TSX because I like 4 doors for everyday driving, nice balance of handling, speed, luxury, looks, and of course Honda reliability.

 

the only reason i ask this question is because i'm disappointed we don't get Accord Euro R's here. a V6 takes the fun out of saying i can do so-and-so with an I4. to me, it seems the TSX is probably the way to go. can i say it's close to Euro R (someone answered me no before, but i want more people's response). the V6 looks great, but something about a 6 cylinder turns me off, just a personal opinion. i have yet to see many add-ons such as I/H/E/ for TSX though...

 

I'd take a sedan EX V6 manual. Because I find the TSX to be pretty slow.

 

header: Dc and Comptech
Intake: Ingen and AEM and Comptech
Exhaust: Greddy and Comptech
Hondata: yes for '03 and '04

Suspension, yes yes yes.

What more do you want?

 

perhaps i could be wrong...still don't know the verdict...anyone else? or maybe we should all just move to europe and buy a Euro R?

 

i'd have to say in terms of performance the ex-v6 6-speed blows away the tsx, exterior could look better, but it is still an accord of course. better skidpad, better acceleration, more torque.

plus you can get them for around 22-23k out the door if you try hard.

luxury might be another thing, but there wanst anything articularlly uncomfortable with the av6 when i sat in it.

 

its all a matter of opinion...i've had a few fun times in the TSX. Only thing to write home is the interior...alot more spacious than a coupe (no doubt there), but i think the exterior and preformance of the V6 is still more appealing regardless of trim.

Granted the Euro-R is the English equivalent to the TSX, its still has the same base and body of the states accord and probably something worth looking into. Worth moving there for? Probably not. Just go with the V6 EX-L and you'll be fine.
