Default +1 Got a new car

Thanks to everyone for their input on cars for Linda. She is now the very happy owner of an '08 TSX Navi. Got a terrific deal in addition to the $1500 dealer cash that Acura is now offering on the '08 TSX.

We spent a lot of back tp back driving of the '09 and '08. They are different cars, with different +'s and -'s. We ended up liking the '08 better.

Awesome, love that color TSX! Did she get the slick shifting 6-speed manual? Either way, excellent choice.

It's the 5-sp auto. Bradshaw did not have any 6-spd in either '08's or '09's. The auto is also a great gearbox -- and it masks the lack of torque below 4000 rpm. The last 6-spd TSX that I drove reminded me of an AP1 -- Nothing down low, but sweeet on the top end.

Congrats! I had to spend an entire day about a month ago watching people do performance oriented test drives with TSX's. They can really haul if you push it. Also not bad on the corners for a family sedan.

Did you get it from the Bradshaw Acura/Infiniti Used Car lot?

I think the TSX is brand-new...it's a remaining 2008 as the '09 has been redesigned (ugh). Love the color combo!
