You should go for a TSX but it probably doesn't have the power you are looking for. The refinement and luxury option are great and price match to or maybe you can get it cheaper.

What about a used 330 Ci. Chicks dig BMW's. You can get softly used one for about $31,000 from a private seller. Stay away from the BMW dealer, they will try and rape you.

I really like the new V-6 Accord Coupe. It is missing something very important though. An LSD!! Honda had it in the CL type S with the 6 speed. I wish that included it in the new Accord.

And yeah, the G35 is a nicer car in many ways than the Accord, but the Accord it built so much better than the G35 it's not even funny. I road in my friends G35 last night and I couldn't believe how "loose" a bunch of the interior felt, including the door panels. The car has a ton of road noise too. I wasn't nearly as impressed with it as I was about 9 months ago when I road in it for the first time.

Not exactly what you asked for, but we bought an 04 Accord, V6 Auto this past October and it is a lot of car for the $. (23,800 + TTL). It accelerates very good for what it is. Great stereo, and the interior is one of the quietest you

A test drive in one will answer most of your questions above and more.

Putting too much manually-shifted power throught the front wheels is bad. Here's why:

Thats more due to the Limited slip than the amount of power.
