Default TSX or Else?

Hi to all. Go easy on me, being a newbie and all. I am in the market for a nice mid size sedan, classy, yet sharp. Went to the ACURA dealer the other day and the TSX caughth my eye. Looks sharp. I was talking with a buddy of mine, and he thought the TSX was more of a womans car and for the younger generation. I'm only 37. Anyway, any advice out there or thoughts.
Thanks to all, and I wil let you know how I make out. Also, anyboby have a good idea on pricing/leasing for a 2005 TSX.

Well if you're 37 and a friend of yours tells you the TSX is a woman's car and that keeps you from buying it, we probably can't help you. I think it's about 60-65% male driven, I saw that somewhere.

You can do a search or use sources such as edmunds.com for pricing. They are a pretty hot commodity but some people have been able to get close to invoice.

That is not what is keeping me from buying it, I just wanted other opinions on the vehicle. Thanks for the % numbers.

i personally like the tsx and dont see it as a 'womans car'.. 37 is a good age to be driving that car IMO so if you like it, go for it.. screw friends

the TSX is the best handling front wheel drive car on the market. I'm a huge fan of the TSX, if I had the money I'd get one. I went on a test drive and the power is pretty decent and the car just feels great. I'd recommend getting the manual tranny so you can get the hondata ECU reflash. you'll be able to get about 30-40 extra hp with that reflash. I'd also get the OEM lip kit as well as the gunmetal 5 spoke rims. and intake would also yield decent performance gains. the TSX is pretty mod friendly. I would not call the TSX a woman's car, the TSX is also tearing up the race tracks and is consistantly beating the competition on the road car circit.

What makes you think a TSX is a woman's car? You didnt look hard enough at the front end, it's very mean and crazy, women dont like that (not all women, hehe). In my opinion, women like volvo, mercedes, lexus, they dont like acura that much

Yeah most women buy Lexus and MB for image and Volvo for safety and whatever other reason (I can't really fathom them)...Acura is more of a performance oriented guy's car.

<-- 25 year old guy. I drive a Euro Accord (TSX) and I love it. It is possibly the most unwomanly car I have ever had.. Oh next to my Hummer H1 (sic)!
