id go for a G35 over TSX anyday
but yeah i understand why ur mom got it over other cars, its definately big bang for the buck
i would still go look into a G35 though
IMO, A3 is a way overpriced little car
nothing more
apparently its suspension sux

I think the TSX is a great car. I'd choose it over a G35 sedan and IS250. I think the build quality and interior quality is as good or in some places better than my RX330. It still could use more power though.

Everything MMarshall said is correct. It is a great car albeit a little too tightly sprung. Sure, the little hotties are not going to be impressed when you swing by in a TSX (Accord Euro in my part of the world), but who cares? You will have the pleasure of knowing what a great car it is...then driving home and thinking about it by yourself....

BTW the G35 is a lot more expensive than either the TSX or the A3 and they don't even compete with eachother.

The TSX is a great car for its price range, and value for money!
Of course you can add more money and get a better car (G35), but for its price, nothing beats it.
One feature worth noting is the navigation in it is very very good, definitely better than any of the germans and equal to Lexus'.
This opinion comes from a biased owner who bought a TSX and is used by the sister.

The 2.0T model is definately not over-priced and the suspension that comes with the sport package is actually very good. Keep the ignorant comments to yourself.

A3 2.0T is a nice car, but I will get the 5-door VW GTI instead, which is basically the same car sans the luxury goodies, and save couple grands.

It needs more power, but then more power to the front wheels would introduce torque steer and disrupt its handling.
I'd spend a couple more g's and spring for the IS250, but then again, I'd spring a few G's more and get the '07 G35.

I almost got it awhile back but they wouldn't payoff my rx330 so i back out. It truely is a nice car although ride is a little stiff much more then my is350 for comfort. Great value for the money for sure. I think it would have been more exciting for acura, and help there image better if they used a i-4 turbo setup out of RDX or maybe a 3.5 V6 as a option on the TL. I personally don't understand why they choose to do a i-4 turbo on the RDX suv. They could've turbo their TL or TSX instead. Ooh well!!!
