Hey guyz... Soo havnt hurd from me in a while eh... or do u even remember me? Haha. So the day has finally come. My parents are bargaining for the cars. I live in Los Angeles area and we bargained with Glendale acura, Keyes, and Santa monica.
So I'm looking for the 05 Acura TSX Carbon Grey w/ navigation.
Glendale has no incoming manuals or any in stock.
Santa Monica has 1 incoming but they were very disrespectful and insulted my parents during the negotiations. I was offended too.
Keyes acura appears to be the winner. 29,200 OTD, Tax, licensince, etc.. The car itself comes around 26,700 around that. So heres where the big question comes... I can get the 5at tomorrow or I can wait 1-3 weeks (unless they get it sooner) for the 6speed manual.
If you didnt know im 17yrs old... heading to college in a year. yes yes pretty young in here. Anyway, I have small experience with manuals... specifically this old toyota truck. I never really mastered it. But Im craving the need to accelerate. I have been driving a 2000 toyota 4runner for the past 1.5yrs+ and all i can say is im tired of automatic, its soo boring, theres no thrills.
However, I did test drive the 5speed at today and I did enjoy it. I didnt have the chance to push it to its limits but going to sportshift I definatly could feel the delay of it shifting for a slight second (not as long as it would take putting a automatic car from D to 2d or 1d though but definatly lag is still there.)
So I live in the LA area... traffic and I know right now being new to manual and stuff I wouldnt become irritated or annoyed with manual. However, this car will be the car i'll have for a long time. So i'm looking at long time appeal.
For all you manual owners out there, does traffic bug you alot? Is the learning curve for manual on the TSX difficult? What do you reccomend?
I've been longing for manual for a long time... but the reality of traffic ill face and the fact i still need to learn how to drive (or get used to) manual is there. Think its worth it? and how does the price my parents are looking at sounds? Thanks. Reply asaps please
