Terrific daily driver, perfectly mated I4/6MT, not fast but quick enough to have a little fun, FWD but no torque steer and very tossable, outstanding NAV/Bluetooth/instrumentation, great mileage, made in JP with exceptional fit and finish. All and all, a best buy, all for under 30K.
Fast forward to the second gen, 09 TSX.
Exterior: Fail.
Interior: Fail.
Test Drive: "Is the steering supposed to be this way?" "Yes, its improved."
Acura: Next gen RL, TL, and TSX. Power Plenum. Epic. Fail.
BMW 328 vs. TSX? You must be joking.

I had an 06 6mt/Nav TSX also. I sometimes miss it, but I sold it for a very commendable reason so, meh. It wasn't very quick or a handling champ, but it was fun to steer and had a nice stirring gearbox. I still notice a nicely done up CL-9 TSX.
The new ones, I would never consider. They gayed it up too much...they went the opposite they should have gone with it. They should have gone further towards enthusiast/performance IMO.
