Default TSX First Impressions

Well, I was at the dealership today (Antonino Acura, Groton CT), and I sold their first TSX. It was a black 6-speed, I sold it to this couple Pete & Donna. If I would have known it was the car I was about to test drive, I wouldn't have sold it. :madfawk:

In any case, I saw a silver, black & white TSX today. Sitting next to a TL, the TSX has more to it, height wise. The TL is longer & I don't like the TSX rear bumper. The lower relflector/lights in the rear bumper are a nice touch. If it had the accents that the RSX rear bumper has it would look less chunky.

The TL looks sleek in comparison, but the TSX definately is nice. Build quality seemed to be top-notch. The gauges look amazing in person. The back seats are VERY roomy, I was impressed.

I'm going back on Monday for a test drive, I'll be sure to check back.

drove it last sat
they didnt have any manuals left tho
but it drove nice and had decent power. an auto tsx seems a waste tho. if i drive a v6 accord it would probably feel the same in power. the dealer is gonna call me when they get more manuals in

The V6 accord had more power. 240 vs 200. You can compare the under-rated accord 4 cyl 160 with the tsx 200. They feel about the same in power.

I drove one yesterday and liked it although I thought it was underpowered. Very nice interior and handled great. Dealer had about 12 in stock.
