New Ride in the driveway

My wife has had her mind set on a new Acura TSX, we looked at 04's but they sold out before we could sell her car, the 94 Celica I had posted in the classifieds. Well we picked up her car Friday at the dealer with a total of 4 miles on it! Already got 300 as of today :( This is my wifes first new car, i have never had one, and I am proud of her for getting it all on her own :)

 

OH, and that nasty front plate is gone...

The Acura is really nice, and maybe MAYBE I can get some sympathy from her so I can get my Z rolling! Sheesh.

Thanks mike, I love this car! We drove down to OKC this weekend and it rides smooth but when you hit a corner there is NO noticable body roll. Now of course I didn't throw it around but it's tight. Lots of features in the cabin, should be a good car for a LONG time...

MK, I know what you mean. The 3 series was her lustmobile but for the same $ we had to get one with quite a few miles and she didn't like the interior layout at all. We checked out the S40's and they are smallish compared to the TSX, but competitive in all aspects but asthetics. Didn't look at mercedes, but like you, we found the Acura to be a high quality car with honda reliablilty and a lot of +'s for the price. And it was hard to go with a used one for almost the same price as a brand new one.

 

The CL is 2D only right? That 3.2 would be nice, lots more torque than the 2.4 in the TSX, that is it's only weak point as a 'sports sedan'. So if you are looking for a 4D car, this TSX is difficult to beat, back seats had plenty of room for me, 6'3" and a buddy 6' 250, while the wives were up front. Humungo trunk, nice stereo (Pioneer), totally loaded as standard. This thing has LOT's of features that makes me want something new! But I will wait and drive the explorer till she dies or untill I get the Z hummin... :)

 

Good luck.
