OK guys, we've been doing a lot of bickering disagreeing on the board lately. Let's try something different. If you've got any kind of driving experience (whether via test drive or ownership) with one of the ELLPS cars share with the group. I'll go first. Go to the bathroom & set your DVR, this is going to be a decent sized post. Acura TSX: As you all know, I own a ... Read More

The clunker was a 1990 E30 BMW 325iA coupe. It only had 82,000 miles on it, but was neglected. I had a new radiator put in, a new set of tires, & an alignment. The car drove great as a BMW should, but it had trouble passing New York State inspection. After it passed, the mechanic said to me that I should either find a donor engine or start paying him ...

markincincinnati & graphicguy Funny how the 3 of us are at opposite ends of the financial spectrum in our lives, yet have similar tastes & tolerances when it comes to cars. The seats in my TSX is one thing that I absolutely LOVE! They are thickly bolstered, firm, & super comfortable. They do a fantastic job keeping my narrow, 150 lb rear end from sliding around during aggressive handling maneuvers. The ... Read More

I agree with you 100% fedlawman. Even though my 2010 TSX is equipped with an automatic, it is the best automatic I've ever driven. It holds shifts in M(anual) mode until I (the driver) flicks the paddle on the right for it to upshift. Even in S(port) mode, as long as my foot is planted, the revs will keep climbing to the redline before the transmission upshifts. I've heard the TSX ... Read More

Until very recently Acura parts for the TSX were Honda parts - it is after all a Euro Accord. I think this year Acura is starting to actually put Acura markings on some of the parts - like the windows. But in reality, for the TSX, the parts are still Honda parts - and there's nothing wrong with that - unless you're one of those snobs who think that the marked ... Read More

I do know how you feel. The first service, B-1, on my 2007 RDX at 5000 miles was $285 at the Acura stealership. After that I went to the Honda stealership one block down the road for all general service which I will continue to do on my 2010 TSX. It's much, much cheaper.

sounds good even tho you did not write what your sales tax was. the rate here in North Carolina is now 3%. They are trying to make it 6.75% with no trade-in credit (hope it does not pass). the doc. fee in NC is $399.00 and then comes the personal property tax each year.

I passed on the TSX. Dealers won't budge. I guess demand is still high but I just can't get myself to pay what they wanted. Anyway, I bought a brand-new 2007 VW GLI with DSG, PKG#0 for $21,499 + taxes which I think compares well with the TSX, if not better. The TSX is great car but Acura dealerships think highly of themselves too much, IMO.

Not meaning to burst your bubble or anything like that, but I just want to clarify that the 2007 Acura TSX currently has a $1500 manufacturer to dealer incentive. So, for a non-navi TSX whose invoice price is around $26500(actually $26451), the invoice price drops to around $25000. I was offered the same price but $1100 was too much money to leave on the table. That is, in addition, to whatever ... Read More

Hi pollofrito81. Acura's lease program on the 2007 TSX is the same in August as it was in July. However in late July it introduced a special program on the 2008 TSX. It is now providing a special lease money factor of .00185 for "Super Preferred" tier customers on the '08 model. Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum

Hi kidcloudkiker. Acura is no longer providing special lease money factors on the 2007 TSX. As a result, if you were to lease one through Honda Finance, you would have to use its standard lease program. Don't even bother with a 24 month lease using the standard program, its money factor is terrible... .00385 for "Super Preferred" customers compared to .00290 for 36 months.
