dime a dozen? hardly.
more on the road? definately.

accord is holding a better resale value then the tsx.
03 accord lx (super base model) 12-15 grand STILL

04 tsx sport 15-18 grand.

i would opt for the accord seeing as the base model sold for around 23 and the tsx sport model is over 33,

i will agree the design on the tsx is better then the accord sedan but the coupe is another story. *well the coupe with the tsx front and the 06 rear would be hot*

it's true, the accord has made the top ten on Car and Driver YET AGAIN!!!!!! that HAS to say something about the car. also, Honda has 3 of the top 10 cars on Car and Driver's top 10. the Fit, the Accord, and the Ridgeline.

go Honda!!

BUT for the record, I love the TSX I think it's sexy as hell. However, I think we need to do what we can to help the technology uptake for hybrid/electrics.

if I was buying a new car, I'd buy hybrid... for straight coolness the technology can't be beat!

The TSX does indeed look very good and does carry the ACURA badge but I would have to say the accord ex V6 has it beat. Right now i'm thinking of a 4cyc accord ex so thats the top of the line without the V6. And the '06 coupe led tails look so sharp.

I'd still rather have an Si. The Accord Coupe is such a huge car for a 2 door.

if you have the budget, the accord coupe (non-v6) is the right way to go and remember that before you buy a new or newer car, all this talk of HP and TQ sounds nice and sexy but after you have owned the car for a bit...it all becomes life as usual.

a powerful motor is not the only thing that a car offers....it does make an impact on your decision however but with the accord in your case..you are looking at much more a car...more luxurious, bigger and better feel.



The price is just right at around $31K....and this is the best time when dealers discount most off their invoice price.

That pic does look very sexy. Mmmmm.

If I had the choice, I would definitely go with the Accord coupe. Have always loved Accords back in the day and have a soft spot for them. This is my favorite coupe and if done right, this car can look badass. I think like rukus said, best bang for your buck and you get more room. Nevermind that it's a heavier car. Better yet, if you can get one second hand, even better.

Damn Sal, now ya got me thinking again!

Crap!

szuberi

lol B...i can imagine your feeling...

the thing i have in mind is that....the modification bug is hard to remove from our systems...so buying a car that is 'expensive to begin with as well as on a monthly basis'...will leave you with little room to further spend on it (considering you are careful when it comes to personal finances) and as you correctly pointed out....'if done right, can look badass' that the whole bottom line right there. accords have potential.

Accord seems to be the winner here. ya a 4cyc accord ex filled with all the goodies (leather, sunroof, rims) is really nice. And the accord is part of the top ten 9 out of 10 times i believe.

imported_t_dot_SiR

do you guys think getting a EX or EX-L base accord of 03+ 2coupe or 4dr... manual... throw on a supercharger will do the trick? of 200+whp and 200 lbs of torque?

imported_sharper

sounds good to me. the 2.4L is a strong engine

imported_ellickk

true...if u get the civic ull have more pocket money but i believe that the accord 4-cyl 5speed is a better drive than a civic plus more room. i agree that the led lights are friggin pimp when u brake too lol but i think when it comes down to insurance i think but not sure...the accord will probably be cheaper

imported_starboy869

A SC with tuning will set you back another $5K. Why not just get the V6 and you'll already be over the 200hp mark to start.

^dito. that is stock from factory
