Specifically a TSX? I’m thinking about getting rid of the S4 for something that is a bit better on gas (i get about 16-17 around the city). I’ve always liked the TSX styling and at 23 mpg, isnt too bad when combined with the reliability of a honda 4 banger. Pros? Cons? Other vehicle choices? ---

they’re pretty nice, but for the same price of a used tsx you can get a brand new si, and the si you can get 1.9 or 2.9% financing for. ---

Northtown VW has an Accord Sedan V6 6-speed. They get similar gas mileage and use regular fuel. ---

i was thinking an accord too. The 4 cyl accord gets a nice 26 mpg city (89 octane) vs. the tsx w/23 (91 octane). Reading some of the acura forums i was seeing most people getting 25+ in city driving with the tsx though. But 89 does seems like the better money saving choice. why does the tsx need 91 if its just a normal honda 4 cyl? ---

The TSX’s are nice, as are the TL’s. I think you’re going to really miss the comfort and power of the s4 once you move(somewhat downgrade) into a honda/acura ---

i used to have an acura CL and i loved it. it rode nice and had a decent motor. The s4 just isnt what i thought it was gonna be. Its a great car, dont get me wrong, but the mileage with premium gas is just starting to get to me now. Figure i could downgrade a little and still stay in a nice car. ---

I’d say look into the TL’s, and TSX’s then. Gorgeous cars for the money. It’s not like you don’t have a sporty car to play with when it’s nice out anyways 😉 ---

get an 05/06, or newer if possible, more features 20-25K for one with low miles i was pretty hot & heavy on them before our little gas crisis truly a pleasure to drive, even the automatics are Very responsive - i’d actually go auto over the 6spd. handling is outstanding, lots of trunk space, decent passenger space in the back. They’re a great car for the money. robTC, there isn’t a comparison between this and a new Si. ugh, those are a good car if you’re like, 18. you would have to drive & sit in one to understand. not a bad car but not even comparable for what it sounds he’s looking for ---

fair enough, Lot of car for sub 20K best of luck. Go test drive one with CU approved loan beforehand and see how difficult it is to leave without it ---

ugh, you think? new TSX pull an xB on the world, just like any updated model: larger and further away from the original ethos. Fuckin’ hate the 2g TSX :tdown:
