November 27, 201015 yr For those of you that remember me from a while back... Traded my 07 Pontiac G5 GT for a 2010 Acura TSX 4-cyl/auto/non-tech (Drew complained that i never post in here anymore so this is just for him :-p)
November 27, 201015 yr Nice ride, a huge step up. The TSX is pretty well-respected around here, aside from the grille.
November 27, 201015 yr Author the grille really grows on you quickly..in fact im not a huge fan of the 2011 tsx grille i feel that its too one dimensional and the horizontal slats dont match the honeycombish look of the lower grille...the current style matches perfectly...also the polished aluminum blade really makes it classy looking and its not a protrudint beak like the TL's is. I love the way it drives and handles feels very planted and responsive however i feel like its a tad too high riding and the suspension is just a little uncomfortable on these $h!TY NYC area roads...i am slightly concerned about the build quality...just brought it in to have several rattles silenced and clips reattached :-/ not something i expected from a honda...the transmission is delightfully responsive..hope it holds up better than my moms former 03 accords did (total failure at 44k)...thats pretty much all i can think of aside from a few other small issues such as a few display settings not staying where i set them when restarting the car and just some unintended design flaw that allows water to basically POUR in during even a light rain when i crack the window to have a smoke...until i have the money for window deflectors ill have to keep a towel in the car to lay over the door electronics... thanks for the well wishes guys
November 27, 201015 yr Mickey, I agree with your assessment. The old TSX seems to be better built than the new one. When my wife was up for an oil change for her 2005 TSX, they loaned her the new one, she had some reservations.
November 27, 201015 yr Author I see you've decided to remain a Lil' White Hoe. This one has remained un-named...and what can I say...theres something about a white car so far I've tinted the windows and added yellow fog lights
November 29, 201015 yr Nice car! The transmission problems were from the first 5ATs and have been ironed out. You shouldn't have any of the problems that the early Accord 5ATs did. I just had to have my Audi towed the other day, for the second time. I'm about ready to go back to Acura. I should have bought the TSX in the first place, but I love having AWD now.
