The warranty on the accord is 3yrs/36Kmiles, the acura is 4yrs/50Kmiles. Acura also has roadside assistance. My mom's 08 honda accord cost approx, $29,000without nav. Which accord are you pricing. My 06 tsx, bought new 11/06, has 90,000+problem free miles. I very pleased with the tsx.

IMO, Honda 4-cyls are always happiest with a manual, and Honda makes some of the slickest manual trannys on the market. I do think the 6MT is much more fun to drive. But, the auto TSX has got more than enough pull under most circumstances, and I think this transmission is relatively well-matched to the 2.4 engine.

I test drove the 4cyl TSX because I cannot afford the 6, or you know full well I would go for the Acura V6! The Honda Accord coupe V6 is in my range, test drove as well. You are right that the Acura had more features standard. However, I do like to feel the road.

For everyone's information - I am comparing a 2001 3.2 TL (which I just leased - base price I paid was $26,200 - basically invoice) vs a 1998 Accord EX V6: Learn more about Acura TL at the Edmunds.com Car Forums!

Passat looks like a bloated puffer fish ready to burst. The other 2 are on the 10 best list many years counting. Nuf said about who's better quality. VW is in dire sraights in the US, Honda/Acura is rolling in cash and more innovative. TSX is more refined, edgier looking than Accord and has better warranty and ownership perks.

It seems only the Asians have had no problems with their transmissions with the exception of 2 years on the Accord, Odyssey & Acura. (2002-2003). We have a 2000 Honda Accord and it, too, was in the transmission class action lawsuit years (along with the 99 or 01s).

To give a you bit of background first, Honda introduced VCM in 2002 in Japanese version of American Accord (they call it Inspire in Japan). This version was also used in Accord Hybrid, 2005-2007 Odyssey (top two trims) and 2WD Pilot.

Knew that a long time ago :P It makes sense they bring the TSX there because Europeans like smaller cars.
