Default So I Aquired Another Honda







I bought the TSX a couple of months ago. What a nice car! It's a six speed with navi. Gearbox is as smooth as could be. The handling is very impressive and on the neutral side. The K-24 engine (I-VTEC) suits this car well. Many people say that the TSX should have a V6, but I like the overall balance that Honda achieved.
Laundry list of standard features, too. HIDs, fogs, XM, heated seats are a few.
Bluetooh and navi are superb. Like I said, nice car.

Congrats on the TSX. We bought an '04 (first year I think?), so some new goodies have been added since that year, but my wife loves the car. It is smooth, good power, handling and everything, but when I "let" (ha ha) her drive the S to work, it's a big adjustment for me to reach so low to change gears and to sit so high above the road.

I imagine that both the TSX and the S will be in our family for lots of years ... the last accord was 15 when we sold it to a neighbor so we still get to see it regularly.

Of course you still love me. I'm just so damn lovable.
As far as mileage, one of the eight thousand displays tells me what it is. I think I'm around 25 but that's not much highway driving. I also tend to be in a lower gear than I need. Just like the S.

Wellllll, okay. I just anybody with great taste in automobiles. That's why I'm such a pushover!! It is a real beauty and I'm glad you're enjoying it. I, on the other hand, have to schelp along in a Mercury Mountaineer in the wintertime. Oh, well, I'm just going to accept the fact that its the price I have to pay for living in the mountainous areas. I do have some great days even in the winter when I can take the S out to play!! Oh, yeah, I'm lucky, I can do it, I can, no snow tires, oh yeah!!!

Hmmmm...sounds a lot like an '06 Civic Si I'm familiar with except for those extra doors. If so, you're really going to like it after the break in.

I noticed the one-car garage. Which car will get the garage?
