Crack pipe I got one on Craigslist here listed for 16k and got the guy down to 15 too bad funds are low.

But 20k?

pretty sure all TSX wagons are auto only FWD

TheHondaBro > HammerheadFistpunch
04/07/2016 at 13:03

Really? That would have been one of its big redeeming features. Damnit, Acura.

Why does it look so low?

d15b > TheHondaBro
04/07/2016 at 13:03

Sounds about right for the West Coast?

Yep, FWD, automatic and 4-cyl only.

TheHondaBro > d15b
04/07/2016 at 13:05

Maybe the owner lowered it?

Supreme Chancellor and Glorious Leader SaveTheIntegras > TheHondaBro

well not for that money...

TheHondaBro > d15b
04/07/2016 at 13:06

Yep. Us Seattlites adore anything newish and leathery, and tend to forget the oldies. Case in point: SC400s are ridiculously cheap around here.

yeah, I looked at them as a replacement for the nox box, still like them though, I don’t need the v6 and my wife doesn’t need the 6 speed (though if I could swap...)

d15b > TheHondaBro

It’s a fantastic car, BTW. Really great, all around car.

I wish it had a little less body roll though.

TheHondaBro > HammerheadFistpunch
04/07/2016 at 13:09

I’m sure you could easily swap Acura’s 3.5 in there. I can live without the manual, but AWD would have made it that much better.

HammerheadFistpunch > TheHondaBro
04/07/2016 at 13:09

meh, I can live without AWD, i just would want the slick 6 speed

TheHondaBro > d15b
04/07/2016 at 13:10

The SC? I briefly drove one and instantly fell in love. The body roll is easily fixable with a sway bar.

d15b > TheHondaBro
04/07/2016 at 13:12

My bad, I meant the TSX. I have a 2012 with a manual.

TheHondaBro > d15b

Ooh.

These were really nice cars, lots of cargo room and pretty good handling. Problem is even though I love wagons I could not get over the fact that they had the triple threat of FWD, Automatic Trans, and Really Slow. I could have probably tolerated two of those had Acura offered their wonderful 6MT from the TSX

RazoE > HammerheadFistpunch
04/07/2016 at 13:21

4cyl too, I think

d15b > TheHondaBro
04/07/2016 at 13:21

I don’t like it. 17s are too small for the body of the car.

HammerheadFistpunch > RazoE
04/07/2016 at 13:22

yes, not that its a bad engine.

d15b > HammerheadFistpunch
04/07/2016 at 13:23

I have a 2012 TSX with a manual. Can confirm, one of the best shifters/transmissions for the every-day Oppo.

TheHondaBro > Tom McParland
04/07/2016 at 13:24

Yeah there were a lot of things they could have done right, like SH-AWD and a V6. I’d be okay with an auto.

I’d 100% be okay with a TLX wagon done right.

HammerheadFistpunch > d15b
04/07/2016 at 13:24

yeah, my good friend bought one on my advice, thanks me all the time. I love driving it.

Find one in blue or red. Beautiful colors on the car, but the blue is the only available with black leather of those 2 ext colors

d15b > HammerheadFistpunch
04/07/2016 at 13:26

If only you could get rid of that body roll. I don’t want to mess with the suspension, it’s not too stiff, but not too soft.

BUT THAT BODY ROLL ARGH.

TheHondaBro > SnapUndersteer, Italian Spiderman
04/07/2016 at 13:29

I’m picturing a blue one with black leather. Oh my.

I’m gonna need a minute.

HammerheadFistpunch > d15b
04/07/2016 at 13:29

something as simple as new sway bars could be the trick, dial out some understeer while you are at it.

TheHondaBro > d15b
04/07/2016 at 13:30

Yeah, not a good look. Needs bigger wheels.

d15b > HammerheadFistpunch
04/07/2016 at 13:30

Maybe when the car is older. I got it brand new..still babying it lol.

d15b > HammerheadFistpunch
04/07/2016 at 13:32

Unless you know off the top of your head some brands lol.

Cheap handling

Easy install.

I understood why they didn’t AWD it because IIRC that wasn’t offered on that generation TSX/Euro Accord in any other market, but a 6MT would have really been nice...not that anyone, but us weirdos would have bought one.

Sir Halffast > TheHondaBro

I almost bought one identical, from a dealer, with 20k fewer miles for 21,000 about a year ago. CP, but barely. 17,000-18,000 would be perfect.

d15b > HammerheadFistpunch
04/07/2016 at 13:35

Noooooooo!

All it needs is this swaybar and better tires and I’ll have a pretty good sedan...

Amost bought one when we got the FoST, but the rear hatch and rear fender wells do no allow for much storage of anything, so we noped the hell out of that one.

looks sweet but I have a strict policy to not ever meet the type of person who puts a Honda badge on an acura

Stapleface > TheHondaBro

While I don't really like the Acura beak, it still looks better than the Accord grille on there. I'd have to say he made a mistake (IMHO).

Nobi > TheHondaBro

While only 4cyl and auto, those transmissions are pretty bulletproof. I work at an Acura dealer and 4 cylinder anything never has transmission issues and usually just needs plugs every 100k and basic maintenance and it’ll run forever. Just make sure you don’t run over on the oil changes or the timing chain stretches and will eventually jump timing. Strange thing is the TSX of this generation in sedan form has an ongoing oil consumption issue where we replace the pistons and rings. The wagons don’t have this problem.

TheHondaBro > jjhats
04/07/2016 at 14:26

Why’s that?

TheHondaBro > Nobi
04/07/2016 at 14:27

Weird. Same engine and everything?

TheHondaBro > Stapleface
04/07/2016 at 14:28

I kind of dig the Honda grille.

jjhats > TheHondaBro
04/07/2016 at 14:42

because its an acura. this car is not jdm or eudm or any of that shit. its a tsx

Nobi > TheHondaBro
04/07/2016 at 15:31

To my knowledge there’s no difference, but then again, it’s basically the same engine in the first gen-TSX, and that one has never had oil consumption issues either.

TheHondaBro > jjhats
04/07/2016 at 15:46

Kinja'd!!!

jjhats > TheHondaBro
04/07/2016 at 15:58

whats your point?

TheHondaBro > jjhats
04/07/2016 at 16:00

It’s a rebadged EDM Accord Tourer.

On a sorta related note, every time I see “SH-AWD”, my brain sings automatically it out as “Shawtyyyy” in a Chris brown voice in my head.
