2005 Honda Accord EX 4cyl or Acura TSX?? Help please.
 

Hello, I am currently mulling over purchasing one of the 2
aforementioned vehicles - both 2005's: the Accord EX 4 cylinder or the
Acura TSX.

I realize the price is about $ 4-5000 difference in these 2 cars. The
Acura dealer told me they could sell me a new TSX (no navigation sys)
for $25,400 and that included a moonroof visor. I am pretty sure that is
a very good price for those TSX's.

My question to all who could help would be what are the major
differences between the 2 vehicles? Does the TSX have a smoother ride
than the Accord? I know it has more luxury type features. I also have
read some reviews of people who own the TSX & they all seem to
absolutely love the car. From the reviews I've read they seem to label
it the "almost perfect" car.

But the Accord 4 cyl is pretty good too. Unlike the 6 cyl Accords, it
has had little reliability issues, i.e. Transmission, etc.

How about comparing stuff like the sound systems between the 2 vehicles?
Is there a big difference?

Any help/ info would be appreciated. The more opinions/ voices heard the
better! Thanks!

I went with the Accord, mostly because it was $120/month cheaper to
lease. The Accord is a wonderful car, but it is a tad large for me
and I keep looking back at the TSX, with a few more horses, and
sighing.

OTOH I would imagine the TSX has a somewhat firmer, harsher ride, and
the Accord is already rather harsher on the freeway than one would
hope. Maybe I should have test-driven a Camry.

If you're leaning towards the Accord, go for the Hybrid.

I suggest you play with the navigation system before you decide that you
don't want it.

Advantages of each:

Honda Accord
-larger
-uses regular gas
-less expensive

Acura TSX
-a little more powerful engine
-stability control
-less frequent oil changes


Aside from the above, you have to test drive them both. They are different
cars and drive differently.

Change the oil every 3 months or 3000 mi on any car. Oil is cheap.

It may be but Honda is going 10k between changes....actually they are going
20k, alternating between the filter and oil change every 10 k....very weird.
