What exactly does that mean... sorry I don't know that much about engines.
I think you'd be happier with a TSX than an Accord. The TSX is definitely the "sportier" of the two, so even though it's probably not a whole lot faster than an Accord V6, the suspension is stiffer (which gives you a harsher ride but better cornering). The TSX would also have a slightly nicer (if somewhat less roomy) interior and more standard features, including more luxury features.Originally posted by: johnnytightlips
Can anyone compare it to the Honda Accord? I am looking for a sportier car (I'm 22), but I also like some luxury features.

Actually the accord v6 coupe is faster. Plus, if you plan on getting an automatic DO NOT get the TSX.
I was talking about the sedan, but I checked around on Google and I'm not even sure the TSX is faster than the Accord V6 sedan. That kind of sucks.Originally posted by: JACKHAMMER

Saw that after I posted. I was surprised when I actually started looking up the numbers. I thought the TSX was smaller and would have a better power-to-weight ratio. Plus Acura is marketing the TSX as a fairly sporty sedan, not something that can be outgunned by a V6 Accord. I mean, that's what my grandma drives.Originally posted by: RagingBITCH

See my above post. The TSX is BARELY faster than the I4 Accord in manual. It can't touch the 6.

It was funny on my trip to London to see tons of "TSX"s running around with Accord badges on them.Originally posted by: FrustratedUser

Yet another fool that fell for the marketing ploy when 'Acura' was created for the US market.
The Acura TSX is the European Honda Accord.
Still a nice car though.

Sporty as in handling and other attributes, like a 325i. TSX = Upscale Accord w/ I4, TL = Upscale Accord w/ V6.
