TSX look a hell lot better than the new TL.

I wish that people would open their eyes and see that an Acura is much better for the money than a Bmw or Audi. The reliability is also much better, and the performance is right up there, and not to mention the much more affordable price. Acura's have always been better than them, but I think people just like the sound of saying "I have a Bmw", but then again who could blame them?

@pollofrito21 - I completely agree. $30k will not get you half of what you'll get with an Acura TSX. I'll save my money get an awesome car in the TSX for under $30k (I have no need to empty my wallet getting a Merc or BMW just for the sake of keeping up with the Jones').

I buy Acura's just because they are so much more reliable and cheaper. As a Frugal Guy I just think you get more bang for the buck. I do not like the 09 and up styles however I do love the interiors way more. Yeah they may not have the performance of the BMW, Audi, or Mercedes but I am content with my penis and don't need something like that! Plus I am not one who likes to advertise having a well that runs deep!!! Did I mention I buy Acura's usually 5 years or older and very reliable!!!

@Srbijarulez

Please don't mention Honda with BMW/Audi. Acura is not better and never will be. They are better at being ugly

You can kiss my penis.

@AcuaRaTSX2006 yeah right

[pollofrito21]

I'm sorry but you CAN NOT get any of the competitors identified in this video for around 30k equipped like the TSX. A 328, A4, G37, IS250 knock on 40K equipped like the TSX. The TSX you can walk out of any Acura dealership for ~$27K. Youd be lucky to get a 2007 CPO 328 equipped like the TSX for that much.

Acuras are great

@Srbijarulez

LOL reason why people choose Acura over BMW/Audi is because of the price and it is pretty much it.

Honda has always had a cheap ride quality (aside the RL)

If u gave me a choice between a TSX and a 3 series, i'd get the 3 series in a heart beat. RWD, more connection to the road, better exterior.

there is a reason why BMW is much more expensive. And before you say im a bimmer fan, I drive a G35 which too...is pretty damn cheap compared to it;s Euro counterparts.

RWD may perform better, but Philadelphia gets a fair amount of snow in the winter...even FWD is a PITA.

@blader4175 Looks like an Audi R8.
