These are the 2 vehicles I have it narrowed down to. Yes, I know they are both Hondas. They pretty much have almost the same options.

I will be buying an auto trans vehicle w/navi.

I do enjoy the sport shift in the TSX and I do think the TSX' gauge cluster looks nicer.

I'm still not sure if it's worth giving up the 40hp.

Lets keep looks out of this since that is subjective.

Thoughts?

Crazy Bimmer

depends what you want more, handling or power.

Of course the TSX looks nicer. IMO

Plus, are you looking for a 2-door or 4-door car? Do you need to have one or the other?

Have you considered if there is a difference in insurance cost?

Magic Man

I still have to get an Accord for a day so I can flog it & really test the handling. I had a TSX today and flogged it well. It held up nicely.

Magic Man

I don't really need 1 or the other, but I'd buy a coupe if I go Accord because I do not like how the sedans look.

Insurance is about the same.

03 Accord V6 has the infamous automatic transmission, the 04s don't. (well some early-build 04s do, but those are rare to come by)

what do you want?

search the TSX forum, this has come up numerous times over there. You will get several opinions that have already been posted

Magic Man

I don't buy cars based on what other have. I buy them because I like them.

I like your style

afici0nad0

it seems as if you are reluctant about the loss of power if you were to choose the tsx.

grab the accord coupe.

these 2 cars were on my short list too.

synth19

have you considered getting both?

Magic Man

That would be silly.

synth19

you're fantastic at detecting sarcasm without red text.

Fossil_TL

get TSX it's a better car all around

SSMTL01

TSX gets my vote, and do some mods to make up for the power loss.

Crazy Bimmer

If it was me i would get the tsx for the styling, handling and the fact is made in Japan.

derrick

"Made in Japan" ... that will seal the deal on all future cars that I buy. That's of course, if I decide to built a kit car myself when I retire.

With an auto trans, the TSX is about the slowest car on the road. Get the v6 honda.

dom

Ya almost.

You might get flamed for that remark but . That's one of the deciding factors on why I bought my 02 Maxima and 05 Murano.

Shoofin

I have an '03 Accord EX-V6 coupe in Black/Black to offer, 35k miles, but it doesn't have navi... oh well..

fuckleberry

search on just that and you can read to rapture

Deity711

The TSX seems like the tighter car, plus you get the advantages of an Acura dealer (for whatever that's worth).

fuckleberry

few thousand gringo dollars out of teh pocket.....

Ol Blue Eyes

it was you who asked for "thoughts"

Mokos23

Just buy the TSX and you won't see your car as often as an Accord coupe where you'll see about 5-6 of the same car a day.

heyitsme

I don't think the accord coupe makes up a large portion of accord sales.

Think both are kinda bland styling wise cause -one they dont really have much to their designs to begin with and -two they both have been out for a while now.

Its personal preference but the places I drive my car, 98% of the time require the handling abilities of a school bus where extra power can be used at any point. I think the new 06 coupe has a nicer look overall on the streets and would be my choice but that sounds like its out of the question.

Magic Man

I have decided to go TSX unless I find a killer deal on a TL, thanks
