Visited my local Acura dealer.
Before I get flamed here I should mention my familiy has aquired more then 10 cars from teh same salemen down there so we get a little hook up, no BS and a great car.
I have been thinking of leasing a new car to lower my monthly payment by atleast $50 as I am getting a place of my own shorty and the extra cash will come in handy. So I took some Acuras out for a drive.
Apon entering the dealer I was stopped dead in my tracks by the new black TSX with a full body kit. I HAD TO DRIVE THIS CAR. A 6spd with no Navigation is $26,000 allougth thr lease will be near $400 a month so i won't save any money. Won't spend any more either.
The TSX had some ballz and could definitly get out of its own way but its size on a small engine was obvious. This car has simply the best transmission I have ever used. No notches catching or BS at all, perfectly smooth and percise, also a very short shift.
Already with 17" wheels the TSX handled very well and I got on that b****. Overall the car could use a little more power for my taste but was on par with my turbo MP3. I love this car and if I could get it for $350 a month I would.
Next up was the RSX typeS and the salesman decided he had enough of my driving and let me take it out alone.
First thing I noticed is this car has more room for the driver then the integra did, I had an integra, and was much more refined. The integra was fun but was nothing compared to the RSX typeS.
The only down side to the RSX is it is small for my likes, not my stlye on the exterior and the first to 2nd shift grinds.
However the RSX has one thing like no other car I have ever been in has. It screams drive me! It begs you to floor it and take the next corner to only luanch out of it and climb through the gears fast. Great acceleration easily better then the MSP or my car. You just can't be squimish about pushing 7000 RPMS.
The RSX was a great little car and a s*** load of fun!
Next up was the TL and this I will keep short. My dad has a CL type S so I have a good comparison there. The regular TL has a terrible suspension a u-turn makes you feel like your face will scrape the pavement it leans so damn much. My mothers Jaguar Type S is stiffer. The power was impressive thoug. It screws from 70-100. Actualy, its not much slower then the CL TypeS.
The TL is no longer being considered but the TL typeS is the front runner for me. I am getting a little less loving toward handling numbers at the expense of my kidneys. A slightly less agressive ride with more power is what I am gunning for. Heated seats are nice too.
In conclusion if you want to give me $14K for my MP3 let me know so I can go get my TL type S.
