Accord vs. TSX vs. RSX (Type S)
I'm thinking that I'm getting close to purchasing a new car; but I'm not in any rush.
The title of this post says it pretty well and I still have lots of test driving to do. What do you guys think?

They're all totally different cars. It depends what your needs are, where you are in life, and your personality.
An Accord EX V6 Coupe will provide 260 horsepower, give you enough space as a sedan, and provide the sport feel of a coupe. Best bang for the buck.
The Acura TSX carries a potent I4, a luxury feel, and lots of space.
The RSX-S is for the "younger" generation. This car is compact, has a powerful engine, carries the Acura name, and is meant for the new college grad.

And the answer is... I am not. I am simply looking for people's input on the three options presented to get a feel for how the 3 are viewed, what folks personally think of any of them, or if someone has experience with any of the three, their input would definitely be welcome. If a point was presented severe enough to sway my consideration of an option, then that has helped me narrow down my options from the beginning.
I do not need to be told stupid things like, "they are 3 totally different cars" or "buy what fits you best." I think I may already be aware of these finer points.
Do I really need to explain all of this to you? :eh:

I wanted to look at the IS250 and 350 too but the 350 doesn't come with a manual and they are both pretty heavy for what they are. Still like them a lot though.
