I also cruise more often than not.
But I still prefer dictating the shift pattern with my left leg and right arm.

Sure, it's the pragmatic choice.
But let's be honest... the TSX has the Accord Coupe beat on the styling alone.

See that's the thing. Like i said. The accord Coupe is nice...i like them. That honestly was my first choice. But i opted for something more stylish hence the TSX plus insurance for a V6 Accord over here is :loco: I have to see what the TL insurance is like if i was on my parents policy due to it being extremely through the roof for me ($400)

an accord coupe EX (either V6 or just the ex-l trim) can look amazing w/ a few pieces of OEM gear. lip kit, OEM drop/suspension, and wheels. there are plenty of times i miss my 04 accord coupe


but in the end, im glad i got the TSX h:

both of them will seem outdated when the new ones come out soon thats a big reason why i dont think i even want to seriously consider an accord 6MT.

If you could wait for the new accord before you purchase I'd say do that and then compare the new model.
If your going to get something sooner than later, I'd take the TSX over the Accord personally. I'd want to get the 5spd TSX and throw on the basic boltons and hondata reflash and bump the power up to a respectable notch and it would be a fun ride. Of course I'm about a year or 2 from getting a newer vehicle. I have driven the automatic TSX and I was really impressed with the power and handling. Now keep in mind I drive a 5spd 4cyl accord now so thats why I think it was decent power wise. for commuting purposes I think its the perfect car, great looking, gets decent milage, handles well, and has enough get up and go for lane changes and highway crusing. I think the Accord and the TL are a little to big for my taste, I kind of want something a little nimble and agile for some fun backroad driving every now and then.

yea, im interested in seeing what the new accords look like. i'd also be coming from a auto sentra so the power of an auto tsx would be just right IMO. To me the TL's look like bigger versions of the TSX if i'm correct.

The TSX might look a bit bland when the 8th Gen Accords arrive.
