After talking about it for 2 years, I’ve finally done it. I purchased a 2006 Acura TSX 6-speed (no navi). Silver, dark gray, and black were the only colors to choose from that had a manual transmission and within the 6 states. The silver is sharp (in my opinion).
The TSX isn’t as fast as my Integra. But it does seat 4 adults very comfortably. The bells-and-whistles are amazing. The Bluetooth connection does work with my Nokia 6600, although all call data is missing, such as phone number, battery level, and signal strength. All the cables for my MP3 player and cell phone tuck nicely in the center console where there’s a power adapter and audio jack. The automatic windows down option on the remote has been great for cooling the car off after its been sitting in the sun.
The car has an amazing amount of power. Put 4 people in it and it still pulls just as hard as if there’s just one person (this wasn’t the case in my Integra or Civic). I drove down to Columbus and the car did 32.8 miles per gallon. That’s about as good as my Integra, which has a much smaller engine.
The car is amazing…
