TSX has better Engine... lower horsepower.
M6 has better Suspension.... high horsepower

They cost around same I think... M6 will have 18" Wheel , HID , V6 as well, TSX will have best Navigation system, VSA, I4 .

M6 is heavier, but TSX is not light either .
My friend still undecided of which to choose.

They're so much alike it's almost comical. I guess I'd choose the Cheapest one, the Mazda 6 withe the 4cyl and 5spd manual. Then add the body kit shown in "Pic 1"

 

[Ray]

TSX is better in with all the features but the mazda should be cheaper.

PS: i would never add a body kit lol cant park anywhere

 

[ralco]

luxury, sports,and moderate pricing "acura can do"

so i would prob go with the acura

regarding the body kit i would have to agree with tsxclub although a few months ago i would to put it on and actually did
boy did i regret that

 

[Jeffcatt]

I'll be getting a kit and some 17's for my 850 as soon as the funds "roll-in". I have no "beef" with a lower stance.

 

[Ray]

kits do look good and attract alot of people at the car but it does get annoying having an every day car as a show car is the biggest pain out there

for my tsx i might put a skirt kit but no body kit..

First I thought you were talkin about the new BMW design too....But in this comparo...I'd take the Acura. Always wanted an acura, and even though the 6 is a stable platform......the Acura is a bit more sporty for my taste.

Personally looking at the price difference and performance difference i think the Mazda M6 is a much better car to buy.. wouldnt you agree? for around $25,000 you can get the M6 fully loaded with almost every feature they have to offer and get a v6 with 220hp heh

just my 2 cents

M6 vs TSX

Is Mazda going to give you a 4 year/50000 mile warrary, NO!!

Are you going to get oil changes done for the next 36 months for free (which I do at my Acura dealer) NO!!

What car will give you less problems? I bet the Acura will have less problems.

Nothing against Mazda, but I'll take a Acura anytime.

My wife is driving a 94 Legend with 159,000 miles and still going great with no problems.

 

[ralco]

my vote goes to acura
"be cool"
"be safe"
"pay less"(in the long run)

you just got to love the HONDA-ACURA brand

 

[frainc]

Hey RALCO, how come you have a picture of a Hummer in your messages?

 

[ralco]

i knew you were going to ask me that

the reason is that i love hummers but cant afford one and prob never will so this is as close as i will ever get

but i think you would be right in thinking its wrong of me to keep it so if you want me to remove it i will

please make a sugestion

 

[frainc]

You could keep that picture, I didn't mean that you should take it off, just wanted to know.

Keep saving those pennies and maybe some day you could have an Acura and a Hummer

 

[ralco]

hehehehehehe maybe by the time when im 90 years old

i'll have enough saved up but i dont think i'll need it then

I like the way you think
And I coudln't have said it better my self!

thanx

YES - Mazda DOES warranty the 6 for 4 years or 50,000 miles. (new, with the car in December)

Ok, so the free oil changes aren't part of the bargain. BUT - the added cost of the TSX will cover that $300 pretty easily. (12 changes @ an expensive $25 per change. A dealer here will do 'em for $12)


As for which will have more problems, only time will tell. Honda has a great rep, but Mazda's doesn't exactly suck.
