We've got a surplus in manual TSXs at a good price all of a sudden. If I didn't work downtown now and only needed 1 car I'd probably snap that up as my 2nd ride.

now that i'm an older fart i don't see why the manual version are supposedly the only way to go (rare doesn't always translate to higher resale)
if we got the Euro-R as a Type-S then hell yes manual no doubt..but a fairly plain jane Accord, i'd take an auto
now if you swap that k24 into a lighter chassis...  | |

I never understood the appeal. | By my car ownership history you'll see I'm a "Drive slow cars fast" guy instead of "Drive fast cars slow" guy so the TSX is mostly quick enough for me. For a NA 4 cylinder it's torquey and revs like a Honda should. It was more fun to drive than the TL of the same era, had a slightly nicer interior (the TL's non-nav centre dash was hideous though the Type-S seats were way better), and was just really well screwed together.
I've had my auto TSX for 8 years and it's been a great DD - it's noisy on the highway but otherwise it's still a great car to drive as a DD. Comfortable, easy to own, seats 5 in a pinch, nothing breaks, small enough for any parking spot. It's a way better car than the CSX is (which sells used now for about the same money).
The manual is a terrific gearbox though and really makes it a lot more fun, if my wife could drive one I would have found my way to a manual one a long time ago. You can rev the hell out of it in the city without having your license revoked.
For about $6-9K it hits a bunch of nice "must-haves" for a slightly nicer DD that's practical. (Similar cars are V6 Accords, Jetta GLIs, Legacy GTs, Mazda 6)

^ I was getting 11-13.5l /100km mostly city driving with a 6spd 06 facelift. keep in mind it runs premium too. car was well maintained. Wouldn't say it was fantastic on gas but was pretty reliable in terms of running costs.

I liked my TSX, but it’s looks are all it had. For the year it looked quite modern (2004). It really wasn’t great on gas. It was too big to be fun. But it was comfortable for a DD. Certainly didn’t feel “quick.”
But it looked nice!

Dynamically was it on par with a E46 or an e90 ? I've only driven one for short periods of time and it never seems to make any sense compared to the German rivals. Other than reliability and good looks, it seemed to have sold more on the JDM cachet and the euro accord moniker

Remember to buy new I’m sure it was 20-30% less off the lot than it’s getman rivals.
