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.

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.
