    Despite my success yesterday, I'm having a really hard time finding anything to say about this car, good, bad, or otherwise.


    These things are background scenery to me.

    Hmmmn.....$35k for a feature laden car with bland driving dynamics, and a face inspired by the following
    Thanks, but no thanks.

    So it's appropriate that the TSX is a boring car for accountants, and the Toronto Stock Exchange?

    Na Ga Ha En But good luck Honda, I'm sure you'll be fine.


    There are worse cars, but there are also a lot of much more interesting, cheper cars out there. Even new ones.

    This brand makes no sense: this is essentially a maxed out Accord; right? Why not come up with an Accord Type-R loaded with goodies and call it that? That way you could ALMOST claim to be in the BMW 5 sector and if you handed it over to Mugen you could ALMOST claim to have an M5 competitor. I'd rather buy a 'cheap' BMW or a Lexus than a fancy badged Honda anyday. Is Accura a big seller in the States or anywhere for that matter? It sounds so boring I can't bothered checking it out for myself.

    @The Black Bottle: Acuras are pretty darn popular where I live. Not quite BMW/Mercedes popular, but far more than Audi. Right there with Infiniti.


    The TSX is pretty rare and tends to be the no-brainer sorority girl or young/leveraged professional guy car (don't want the repair hassles of a Bimmer!). The TL is like the standard-issue middle management vehicle here. Every-freaking-where.

    If this is $35k, then there's no reason not to upgrade to the TL. Get a slightly-used 2008 model. Looks much better without the buck-tooth, plenty of power, nice and roomy, and handles great.

    Great review.


    Is there any way to search cars you've reviewed based on "Suitability Parameters"?

    With the exception of working at PWC, Hardigree just described my wife. And she would like this car. Weird.
