[QUOTE=wills2k106,Jul 1 2008, 04:45 AM] I think the hate is rightfully deserved for the newly undesigned TSX.

 

If the new TSX came with all of that more people would consider it. The "new" TSX is about 50 horsepower, an LSD or SH-AWD, a few pounds, and a re-redesign away from being a great car.

TSX without question...I bought an IS300 when they first came out with the 5 speed. It was comfortable but the power and handling were very dissappointing. The car loafed along...had no guts and handled like a waterbed.

 

really?? have you driven a tsx?? if so, is the power and handling really better than the IS??

 

I have an IS300 as a daily driver and talked my ex-gf (when she was my gf obviously) into getting a TSX.

I like my IS300, it's built like a tank, has a butter smooth inline six (not that powerful though, but perfect for daily driving), RWD, and drives great. Gas mileage isn't all that good, but I do average 21mpg in 80% highway and it's not overly sporty, but it gets the job done. The TSX drives nice, gets good gas mileage, but it feels even weaker in the engine department and has FWD.

I'd drive both and depending on the price you get, you can't go wrong with either one.

 

I'd go IS300 - nice car, rwd, looks more upscale than the TSX. Its a better driving car than the TSX, and if it was my DD, its what I'd want to live with.

 

is the tsx tranny similar to the Si's transmission?
and what engine does it have??

I own an IS300. It's my wifes car. The mileage isnt that great. It gets about the same as my previous LS400(V8). I'm also a honda guy but between the Tsx and Is300 i would take the lexus. I like rwd and while the power isnt great you still have a 6 cylinder and it's a Lexus. I'm actually selling the Is300 because it gets 21mpg and replacing it with a fit or a civic that gets 30+mpg.
