The good -

1.Love the styling ... elegant and executive IMO
2.Love the handle ... coming off driving a 4WD for 8 years i really notice the difference
3. Nice interior ... excellent finish i reckon
4. Very quiet cabin ... I sometimes don't know if my engine is on or not
5. Excellent Pricing ..
6. My colour ARTIC BLUE .... I just love blue ...

The BAD -

1. Stereo system ... doesn't matter though cause I'm putting in aftermarket stuff

and that's it ... the good heavily out weighs the bad in my eyes ...
and i wouldn't be satisfied owning any other car well in this price bracket anyways ... heheh

thanx kewl ... i'm new to the forum ... long time reader first time poster .. heheheh

Welcome, buddha -- and it looks like maybe this calls for a DOUBLE thank you?? (see below)
Firstly to buddha -- we especially appreciate members from overseas -- we love the extra perspective.
And we're extra-interested to hear about the Euro Accord. It's basically the same car, but it's not exactly the same, so.....

And maybe we need to thank KEWL? (That's the name that our member JNGold uses on other sites.) Did you find out about this site from him? Or maybe you were just saying kewl.

Either way, it's kewl.

I noticed you said on the other site that you don't have rattles -- that's great. I think it seems like the newer cars are less and less likely to have rattles. I don't think we know for sure yet, but I think it is so.

I agree completely with you and Mark about the sound system. I do the same that Mark does -- turn the bass down (a lot) and the treble up (a little). I haven't noticed anybody else saying that before (although maybe they did). This doesn't make the sound great, but it makes it OK.

Buddha -- after you do your aftermarket stuff, please do let us know exactly what you did and how it is!

Yes -- already saw it on your other thread!

Hmmm.....no new reviews here for a week and a half.
I guess Acura hasn't sold any new TSX's lately.

I wouldn't say that. My guess is that the new owner's are out driving their new TSX

ok, iive had my tsx since saturday afternoon. fortunately, i drive from atlanta to birmingham for work every week, so i will get my 600 mile break-in period done quickly. unfortunately, my first trip from atlanta had to be taken conservatively. that drove me nuts!!!

so far so good, i've read about everyone's rattles and ticks and such, so i am keeping an open ear. i'm pleased, to say the least. i feel great driving it and it looks so great!

i'm getting xm radio and tint, but no other changes any time soon. oh yeah, and i'm putting a k&n air filter in.

Nice! This (edit) chick has the right idea:

"Fortunately" she has a 150-mile drive.

"Unfortunately" she has to take it conservatively for the first couple of weeks.

As far as "everyone's" rattles: Nah, not everyone, only about 2/3 of us.

Not me though.

As I've been saying, I have the impression that fewer and fewer of the new TSX's have the rattle problem. So I think WS has a good chance to be lucky.

Keep us posted!

it's all good...there was nothing in my post to indicate i'm female. are there many female tsx owners on here? i've never seen a girl driving one, so that just makes me all the more special.

this forum has been great so far, learned a lot, i've seen some great pictures and i love a forum where people are really willing to help and share useful info.

see you all around!

Yes there are -- and we want MORE!!!!

One of the admins (hondafreak4ever) is a lady (and what a fine one she is

), also WanTing, GrayTSX and some others.

BTW I've made the same fatal assumption a couple of other times too.

One of the interesting things to me about net sites (on which I'm really still a n00b) is the male-female stuff. It's mostly very respectful, probably more so than in real life. But, men will be men......

On another car site, one of the funniest things was when a female started a "For the females" thread asking who else there was a woman. But within about 10 minutes, the guys came in and were asking for the ladies' pics.

Actually...all the TSX drivers I've seen on the road have been women (3, 2 SSM and 1 MRed). Though only one waived back to me
