The 2008 Acura TSX is a Good Bargain Sports Sedan

- Here's why the 2008 Acura TSX is the driver's 4-door bargain.
Want to go "fast", carry four friends, but don't like hanging out in German repair shops? Then the Acura TSX (AKA Accord R) might be right for you. Sold elsewhere as the Honda Accord R, the TSX was Acura's entry-level sedan after they phased out the Integra. It also served as a replacement for the RSX, which had 2 doors, which is different than the TSX...because it has 4....Moving on. From 2008-2013, this was the smallest car Acura sold EXCEPT for the CSX, which was only sold in Canada.

TSX
When you're 40 & want a civic, But don't want to look like a High school kid
TheeJoeyLee this hit home, from a guy in high school with a civic trying to get one of these
TSX not a civic.
@@richardf8268 I'm almost 40...& drive an automatic civic sedan so....yeah
TheeJoeyLee almost everything about my 03 is abysmal, can’t wait to get an acura
@@richardf8268 mine is an 07 ex
Four Doors and Double Wishbone. I miss the Honda that did stuff like this.
the new civic and TLX have them still
Agreed. I got to drive a new TLX as a loaner car while my TSX was in the shop. Of course, the TLX did everything better but the TSX was more fun to drive. I felt like I would get bored owning TLX faster.
@@ciello___8307 the new TLX, the civic has the same front strut suspension basically re-engineered from the 8th, 9th and 10th gen civic
I feel like you guys dropped the ball by not talking about the engine. The k24a2 is unique because it was one of the only Honda engines at the time that had i-VTEC on both intake and output valves. Virtually every other Honda had it only on the intake. Because the TSX could breathe more, it was more sought-after for track use. The suspension on the car is fantastic and they even added front and rear sway bars. The gear-shifting is one of the best of that era. Overall, the design was dead-simple and clean, a look that Japan will probably never make again. The rear tail lights are fantastic and the side skirts added for 06 were a great addition.
Ripp Steakface
K24A2 is the only one with true VTEC on the intake and exhaust side. All the other K24 (North American) series only had it on the intake side.
@@HOTPLATEGAMING For K24, yes, luckily there are a ton of K20Z3's from the NA market civic Si's lying around. Super common mod to take the RBC head from it and slap it onto any 2.4L bottom end with an upgraded oil pump.
Good comments! I always loved the design of these for being clean and sharp. And they're aging nicely.
Except the RSX Type S and the Civic SI which both had VTEC on intake/exhaust cams and made the same or more power with 0.4 liters less displacement, plus they could rev out past 8,000 RPMs and sound amazing doing so.
1moreaccord but their suspension geometry was shittier
Edit: I now own an 8th gen SI haha
Finally a TSX 😎👍🏽
I feel like they left one of the most important topics of this car out of the conversation for the most part. The K24A2 ENGINE and how much potential it has whether going NA or FI!!!
mine does 492hp to the wheel lol
Yeah this k24 is basically the best engineered production 4 cylinder bar none. The new engines cannot breathe like these do, an no other head breathes as well either.
@@shawnsta7779 yeah not only NA but they are hugely effective with charging as the big NA power only translates further with boost.
I know a guy with the 9th gen si pushing like 750whp it’s crazy
bingoberra18 doesn’t the s2k come with a better motor? I don’t know much about Honda’s
Two years ago, walked into a used car lot and bought a clean title 2008 TSX with Nav and 150,000 miles for $4,995. Car was super clean, all highway miles. Only wear on the car was rock chips on the front bumper. Haven’t had a single issue 15,000 miles into my ownership. Came from an 02 RSX-S, which had 185,000 when I sold it. Can’t argue with Honda/Acura reliability.
I just hit 200k in my 06 si, I'm the second owner and no major problems. Love Honda
Sean Pittacora have an RSX 05 rn and it's been amazing, might make a 2012 tsx as my next move.
I have 197k on my 06 TSX. Still running great.
371,000 on my 94 GSR. Original engine and gearbox still. Never rebuilt.
Patrick94GSR Wow, that’s amazing! Those old Integra’s are awesome! Cheers to many more fun filled miles!
My TSX is at 220000 miles and still going strong! Great all around car that’s fun to drive
Mines at 175 hoping to get that far!
What a coincidence, mine is also at 220k miles
I have a 2010 tsx and I love that car! Very fun to drive when it's kept up!!!
@@fishmonger3796 believe me it will!!!
In Australia, this is the Honda Accord Euro. I have the 2006 model. I love the styling and it's a really reliable car.
Yes, this is what you get when you buy an Accord in Europe.
I have an 06 sedan in manual, it's really nice on the high way
I have a 2006 Honda Accord Euro Luxury (Australia) and it is by far the best car I have ever owned. (Admittedly, most of my previous cars have been rubbish.) Everything works, it still looks fresh and modern, it comes fully loaded, I work on it myself, and parts and spares are cheap and plentiful. A great car!
Jody! I'm a huge fan over from JOMW! I'm running a 07 TSX over here in the US. Looks like everyone wants to run a Euro R swap, including me! Lol. Awesome to randomly see you here!
@@nicholasortiz5880 Hey mate! I recognise your name of course. Thanks for watching and commenting! Love my Honda, planning a 2500km round trip to Brisbane for Christmas and I can't wait. Cheers!
@@JustOneMoreWatch My watch addiction has taken the backburner over my TSX as of lately. This model car goes hand in hand with your whole channel- great value! I wish you a safe trip and happy holidays!
hey man I literally just bought one im 17 rn but I'm frm Melbourne and I'm wondring if you know any good mechanics as mine needs a new knock censor and rear brake disk and the front seats are loose.... if you know anyone lmk!
I got 06 TSX 123000 miles on with one owner for $2000! I love this car
This is one of the last cars with low budget reward. I love how the interior is clean and easy to locate the button you want, not obnoxious and distracting. IMHO the TL is a fantastic car but too large for my taste..
coherence_x54r agreed!!
Agreed. The TSX felt more agile and fun than the TL. Plus the TL had a clunky automatic (from my test drives).
As a former TSX owner and current TL 6MT owner, I would have to agree. Although my TL is modded to probably handle the exact same as my old TSX or maybe better (I got coilovers, factory LSD, and Michelin Pilot Super Sports on the TL). The TSX just has something about it that I never got to fully enjoy because I got the 5AT. I wouldn't mind picking up another TSX later down the line but it would have to be the 6MT and 06+
G37’s... cheap as hell. Cheap consider.
@@VanderJam I'm going with the TL S I think because of "more power" haha I also drove an impala a few years ago and I liked how it had that heavy tanky feeling. I feel like if I get the TSX ill wish I got the faster tl
Talks about his "heated" seats.. and yet he ripped it out and replaced it with a bucket.. nice.
He tracks his car all the time so a bucket is better than the oem seat
TDWP1804 I think you’re missing my point here buddy.. ;) and no he doesn’t track his car “all the time”..
@@F0BBYLEE wym hahaha he was doing vtecclub events all the time at buttonwillow until he moved
Based on what this guy was going for he should have just got a civic si
They were having a general conversation about the car you fucking weirdo. Also clearly one seat is still stock no??? Weirdo
I've owned my 06 6mt since 2012 and it has 148k mi now. Aside from regular maintenance and mods, the only parts I've had to replace were the coolant sensor on the radiator, the knock sensor, and the console storage door (hinge got stuck and broke.) I considered a BMW e90 when buying the TSX and my wallet is happy with my decision 🙂
I've had my 08 for 4 years now. Its a very good looking and reliable car.
Proud owner of a 2008 TSX. 163,000 miles strong. I can also attest that these cars are amazing daily drivers and sporty sedans. Not the fastest the car in the world by any means.
Sean Pittacora True. I’m at 200k. Went 3 years with no problems then the rack and pinion went out. That’s the biggest flaw with these cars but if you can fix that it’ll run forever.
Jamie Roseman For sure. Still on the hunt for a stick TL (preferably a Type S) with under 100,000 miles! Love my Honda manuals!
Couldn’t agree more! Love mines
Does it need premium gas?
It’s now 2021. I bought my TSX of of this video and many others like it! I got my TSX with 104k miles, babied, all service records, zero rust and one tiny scratch. $4k. My plans are simple. Beefed up sways, coil overs, front lip and wheels/tires. Cannot wait to dig into mine. Great video!!
How’s the project coming ? Thinking of getting into one of these
been driving an 04 tsx six speed for about a year now. Its awesome. Luxury, practical, and sport and fun.
Had my 04 TSX since 2009, love it and its supercharged now! Great seeing a TSX here!
Supercharged K don't play 👌
That's awesome. I've had my 05 TSX since 09.
I had mine since 2014 and i still love it at 195000 miles
I love my 2007 TSX auto (I wish it was a 6-speed). Installed an Injen CAI and got a flash pro tune on it. My favorite daily driver that I've ever owned, it's fantastic.
Know if an aftermarket intake kit actually benefits from the Hondata reflash? (I'm well aware that intake can actually be pointless if other mods are not done in tandem). I also have an '07 TSX auto, but w/ basic Hondata reflash, and also wish it was 6-speed! Would most likely have better hwy gas-mileage w/ a 6th gear...
You can do a Manuel Conversion if you have time for it
Have an 07 TSX. Wondering what I could do to improve performance? I’ve driven it for 15 years. 145k miles. Has been very dependable. Have had to replace alternator 2x and starter last month. It does burn a quart or two of oil between changes.
Appreciate the love for the gen-1 TSX! I always wanted one when they came out and finally got one in 2015 (at 10 years old!). But I really like the car and enjoy it. The interior is fantastic.
Ahem, shut about this car, I'm looking to buy one and don't need a youtube price premium. :D
No one is going to be rushing out to buy these lol, even if they talk about them their desirability isn't going to skyrocket ...
@@jomaha9227 I jest, I don't even live on that side of the pond.
@@jomaha9227 umm yes people buy these fast here in pa, it has the best 4 cylinder engine honda has ever built, the k24a2 and has double wishbone suspension. People love these cars.
Way too late... as in several years too late
TSX actually holds its value really well
Zach "Steering isn't great, really light."
Owner "But it's a lot better than most tsx, spherical bushings helped a ton"
Zach "yeah steerings good"
lol
Zach boi got pwned there~
He’s just being polite
It’s good but not great
Was waiting for a TSX review. Here in Europe I have this car, but it's an '06 2.2 I-CTDI diesel. Yes. A Honda diesel. Honda's first ever diesel, in fact (N22A engine code if anyone is interested). Its modfied, so has 212HP and 440Nm of torque. Stock it's at 140HP and like 340Nm And, it's a six-speed manual. It's also a wagon. But, basically looks like this. While 212 and 440 might not sound like a lot, the thing really shifts. And, on our smaller roads, it really does feel like it's moving. In sixth gear on the highway, it really does pull and overtaking is the easiest. With the modifications and all, it puts a lot of surprise into drivers of hot hatches and larger engined cars. The diesel engine really helps because that torque means it really doesn't struggle with the mass, and it's reliable as hell. It has 190k miles and runs like a clock, as mentioned in the video. And I love the fact the interior isn't THAT dated. And as the owner of this TSX mentioned, totally different interior.
Got an accord euro manual here in aus, brilliant car and super reliable. Some handling mods and some slight improvements to the motor and you have a great daily driver that'll never let you down
If I recall correctly, back when the Integra was replaced by the RSX, Real Time Racing didn't switch from the Integra to the RSX for the Sportscar Challenge series or whatever it was called. The suspension geometry was that much poorer with the RSX that they chose to continue campaigning the Integra for a season or two, but when the TSX came out they changed to the TSX since it had proper suspension that would work well for the racing series.
Same with Spoon Sports. They dropped their DC5-R for the TSX because double wishbone suspension.
I miss my 2005 TSX though granted it was auto still fun af to drive daily.
I returned my M2 DCT lease recently and instead of starting a new car loan with a Civic Type R, I picked up a 2004 TSX 6MT. Been a long time since my 2010 Civic Si Sedan, but the TSX rekindled my love of driving manuals. A friend who owns an STi drove my TSX and couldn't believe how the stock gearbox feels so good and precise. Can hardly wait for Spring - Ordered new Koni shocks and H&R springs, and getting new rubber for Rays Gramlights I'm buying off a friend. Also sent a spare TSX steering wheel I got from the wreckers over to Royal Steering Wheels in the UK for a repadding and retrim.
Acuras from the 00s are great cars. RSX, TSX, TL (throw in the NSX if you want) all have timeless styling, functional but good-looking cockpits with good driving positions, good shifters, entertaining sounding engines with naturally aspirated response and a progressive power band, and Honda/Acura at their best have great road feel and breathe over the road very well, and these were some of their best cars. A gen 1 TSX with a stick is a great low-key enthusiast buy.
rsx is disgusting
@@ys0456that’s definitely subjective
I got an 07 TSX, clean title, with 167k miles for $3250! Interally and externally beautiful! For my first car, I could not be happier!
@Bavex01XPro Insurance Was Like Any Other 4-Door. It's A Sedan So No Extra Charges. I Haven't Had The Car For Long, But My Assumption Is That Repairs Won't Cost Much Unless It's Something Major. Make Sure You Have A Solid Transmission And A/C When Looking On The Market.
I've got a accord euro r here in NZ, really nice chassis, K20 6speed lsd, it's surprisingly quick for a big car
similar circumstances; went from CRX to a red TSX (2004) with optional factory wing and still one of the slickest sticks, truly enjoyed the mixture of comfort, luxury and the manual...quality interior, leather seats and a pleasant stock audio system which was easy to add on to......my two kids were 9 and 11 so it worked well in multiple capacities....
agrippa1234 yup. I wanted a 2009 especially because the audio system sounded good. The deal didnt go through but one day maybe. New cars have just crap audio systems that aren't even called that!!!
Used to be an installer a long time ago so had access to gear at cost plus; left the head unit and added two Alpine amps (one single channel for sub and another four channel), ran a 10 inch JL in the trunk and Focal separates. Our family driver all hidden neatly that I could fire up when my bride was not present...between that and the six speed a fun little Acura to own even with two small kids.....still miss it
agrippa1234 "Our family driver.."?? You mean factory drivers not including the sub? Of course when the audio sounds good, life is good! My friend sells cars and I rode in back of the new VW Arteon. Between the clean and clear sounding audio and the interior lighting, I had a great time. VW is a powerful global company so glad to see that they are equipping cars better in the States. Audio is one good area. I have seen the new Acuras on commercials sporting good audio but they are a bit out of my budget.
These were such good cars and they have aged incredibly well!
Brother has an 04 and I loved it so much that I bought one! Great cars!
07 Accord Sedan V6 6 speed owner here, Honda all day ;)
😊
I got the 2015 Civic Si. I was cross shopping a TSX, both cars have the K24, but the Si was almost 500lb less. For a sporty daily, those 500lb dramatically improve the handling. AT only 205hp, that added handling capability was a game changer for me. The Si also had a mechanical LSD from the factory
Cars, Coffee and Cannabis- the TSX has a different k24, it’s more like the k20z from the 8th gen Si, no built in exhaust manifold, vtec on both intake and exhaust side....
@@sleeper.simulant7327 I know it is the stronger engine if you want to build it, but as it comes stock, the power output, power band and overall performance are the same.
If I wanted to build the engine, it would definitely be the better one to do so on. But since this car is my daily, stock for stock, it is the better performing car IMO.
With that said, the K24A the Si has can easily take a downpipe, exxhaust and tune for example, so unless you are going for nuts power, it's still a fine platform.
Cars, Coffee and Cannabis- a 9th gen with a downpipe, exhaust, RBC intake manifold swap, and a tune will rev to 7600 and make over 220 whp, which is fairly impressive. If your just going bolt ons a 9th gen is great. Comfortable but handles decent, quiet interior, excellent fun daily. The 9th gens also like boost quite a bit. The built in exhaust manifold expels heat efficiently, and a small connector pipe with a turbo bolted onto it spools turbos very quickly. The TSX k24 with k20z head with headwork (port and polish, calves and cams) can start reaching upper 200’s n/a stock bottom end which is why it’s such a popular platform
@@sleeper.simulant7327 The red 9th gen Matt Farah drove is great example of of the k24/k20 build. 8th will always be my fav modern civic (have an 07 Si) but I would move to a 9th one day.
Have been driving my 07 for 15 years and it seriously drives as good as when I drove it out of the showroom. Very fun to drive and it’s been incredibly reliable
So far loving my 04 TSX. Found a stick shift one for $6k 100k miles. Interior is great besides no aux cord. Planning to keep it stock for a long time
Love my 07 TL Type-S
Evan Pilkington i have a base tl. I love the car, just need some coil over to handle better
Also have an '07 tl type s :)
Love my Base w/nav 08' TL!
Best Acura Sedan ever no Cap
Got a base
I’ve been looking for one of these with a manual for a while, plus a friend has one. Rad car. Also the OEM 17” 9 spoke wheels kinda resemble 996 GT3 wheels in my opinion. Would love to get one... sweet sweet car.
Buying one of these this weekend and I’m excited to get it.
I had an 04 TSX 6-speed, I traded it in for an 09 TSX.
I still missed the 04 as it drives better. Both cars are super reliable and I have 150k miles on my 09, but the 04 is a true sports sedan.
Finally showing some love to the tsx
Pretty sure the IS250 came in manual mate...
not in the states
@@FatSacks yes it did? My buddy has one in stick
Must be super rare then. I haven’t seen one in person in the states.
They come in stick. I test drove one and then ended up buying a 08 tl type s in 6 speed. Way better car
IS250 came in stick, pretty rare. IS350 didn't.
I had a 08 for several months, great car. Best $3000 that i ever spent. It had high mileage @300000 kms but it was well maintained. I ended up giving the car away to a friend of mine for their kids first car 👍
I got an 08 tsx tech pack. From 0 km to 268000 currently. All I've don't to it in that time, is obviously oil changes, and brakes, and a clutch. Best car I've ever owned. I love it
I loved this video. People really don’t talk about the 1st gen TSX but they should. It’s a great all around car that’s fun to drive, reliable, and also a really good looking and high quality car.
Most reliable car I’ve ever had went 270,000 miles could have gone more miss that car so much… rip. Thinking about getting another one
The gentleman's civic. CHEAP, reliable, 4 door, fuel efficient, manual, loaded and k24. Also I think the front looks great. Clean and crisp. Unbeatable for the money.
Finally! TSX are great cars for the money now. Didn’t ask about mods?
Acuras' are expensive to maintain
@@mindhunter8772 they are not.
@@audiwankenobi361 I owned one
They’re not expensive to maintain lol. I own a 09 TSX
they are not expensive to maintain at all. it basically is just a Honda with more upscale interior/exterior. it it just as reliable as a Honda civic
i had an 04 for a couple years
pretty reliable, had to change the starter and the alternator but it was super easy to work on
throttle response was kinda bad but i did a muffler delete and put in an icebox CAI and that gave it instant response
it’s not very fast stock but handles very well and for the price you really can’t go wrong
That speedster stole the show!
I like this TSX, good job.
Would be more accurate to say sold elsewhere as the Accord Type S, which was the identical trim with the same motor.
Indeed
Another point about this TSX is that its VTEC comes on really high, near redline, which some people will be disappointed in. But it's quite a bit torquier than an Accord's 4 of the same era. Likewise, the power band is really smooth. You can still rev it out to 7K and it certainly doesn't feel slow.
Never going to sell my 08 TSX ;)
@alvinvp still kickin
One of the last great Honda's. Japanese build, timeless exterior & interior design. Great engine/trans & full IRS FR & rear with hydro assisted steering. I had an EP3 Type-R Civic before my Accord Type-S, I never liked the steering feel coming from an EM1. This is a proper Honda.
Had a '04 6spd a few years ago, great car. I have a few vids on my channel that show some good inexpensive mods - namely the Hondata ECU software upgrade and lightweight pulleys, the two combined really improved the car. I do miss this one a bit!
Stopped watching when neither of you knew that is250 can come in 4wd / manual
I have a 2012 tsx and I love it
fr
I have one in blue here in northern europe and it looks so good in the sun, I just love the color.
Bought an 06 A-Spec 6MT as my first car at 16 for $800 w/ 145k miles. SEARCH PEOPLE, SEARCH!! The car you’ve been looking for could be right around the corner, my neighbor had it sitting in his garage for a few years not being driven in great shape. Albeit I have 3 bent rims that I’ll replace when spring comes but everything else is flawless!
Best part of it, not too slow, not too fast, you can floor it and have the time of your life, different world from sports cars where u only get a few seconds then your fun is over, crossing “go to jail” speeds.
VTEC just hits different on the K24A2s, especially with a tune.
800$ wtf!
Love my 08 TSX!
Got one of these in Europe. Here it's the Accord Euro, but mines a (behold) 2.2 DIESEL. Honda engine, fantastically reliable, and powerful.
Mine's been played with so has 212HP and 440NM of torque, so nothing incredible, but it shifts for a daily.
I own that car only in my region its a Honda Accord and they have a 2 liter engines really fun car
The tsx was my sisters first car, loved it ever since.
I’m not much into Acura, but the car seems to drive well.
Zack’s sunglasses look cool. Gotta get a pair.
The front wheels look best to answer his wheel debate 😉👍
The TSX is like the better Honda Accord
I just wish there was a Type S model
Accord with a jseries and a 6speed manual over this all day everyday
Si model
@@dartecoates9262 the JDM Euro-R is where it's at. Those are actually pretty fast for an N/A two-liter. You can also build these ones up. There is an Accord like this one in my region with a K24/K20 hybrid, which is about as fast as my car (I'm running a J32A2 with all the bolt ons).
It is an Accord, just not in dumbfuck cuntland.
@@dartecoates9262 Naw. too nose heavy for a fwd car. Turbo K24 6speed MT all day everyday.
The 2nd gen tsx is a fabulous car as well. Amazing handling its remarkable
Awesome car and great exhaust note!
God I miss regular car reviews I had to go down like 200 videos to find this!
I had a 2002 Accord type S (UK marketed TSX but with higher VTec rpm). It was a lovely fast, Torquey car. It only suffered with being a little sterile (like so many Asian cars can suffer) I did miss it when I parted with it but the Saab 9-3 Aero I replaced it with had many more faults/quirks but had so much more character.
My buddy has the TSX's big brother, the 6 speed TL
The TSX will always be my favorite body style of all time. I've driven the S2000, 350Z, G35 and RX-8 and the TSX is my favorite:)
Looks good with the rims
The problem is that the one for 4k with a manual trans has been riced tf out. It's still 6-8k for a nice one.
If your willing to settle for an auto you can get them for under $5000 for a nice one. Will have some miles mileage on these cars shouldn’t shy anyone away. Bought mine with 150,000 miles out the door for $4,995. I know it’s an auto and not as good as the stick (I came from an RXS-S), but for my purposes the auto is fine and you still get all the great qualities of the TSX.
@@seanpittacora9668 1000 more for a manual transmission is worth it if you want to drive it at the track or canyons - tires cost that when said & done. The auto will be fine for daily driving, but it'll put a huge damper on things when you're trying to have fun with it.
The TSX is very under rated. It's a super fast car if you mod it the right way. Stock by the way.
My TSX is so fast.....man.
All I did was a few mods, and now it's faster then most turbo cars. I don't have a turbo by the way.
Super reliable too.
Real Truth in most cases I would agree!
@@shawnsta7779 I never done dyno.
I just know it's fast.
I've seen fast cars man. My car is feather light. Pewm
@@shawnsta7779 To tell you the truth. I haven't been racing. I can tell how fast my car is to others based on the acceleration.
Can't tell if you're trolling or just a stupid kid....
@@MrSlowestD16 Well seems you have a very narrow mind.
Listen man. You are dumb.
My CL9 almost looks like this with the Euro-R front end but mine is milano red with ebony interior. I want those regamaster wheels!
I paid $2500 for my 2004 6 speed Tsx lol. Love it i just gotta get the clear coat on the hood and roof repaired.
They are good cars - Love my JDM Type S Accord Wagon - it goes and handles great..
Best reliable car. Had an 04 Tsx with 207k mi and just bought a 2nd gen 💪
Surprised no one talking about the lag from 1st-2nd gear full throttle shifts. Only way to bypass it is to powershift or get flash pro and disable 1st gear throttle dampening.
Droped my first video on my 2009 acura tsx and I love this car
nobody talked about the k24 engine. one of the best engine to swaps getting pretty popular.
I have an 08 TSX which I bought in November,2020, had 119k when I bought it, so far hasn’t left me stranded as off May, 2021 and I It’s at 132k so I put 12k miles in only 6 months but had needed maintenance, these cars though motor and transmission can go almost forever with regular maintenance, I haven’t had any major work done but I had to do the VTEC solenoid, alternator, radiator fan, left transmission seal cause the transmission was leaking from the left/driver side seal, a ignition coil, but yeah these were a little pricey but nothing compared to a BMW or an Audi, the most expensive was the driver side transmission seal which was $200 to replace cause of labor, the alternator & VTEC solenoid & ignition coil I replaced at home….. these are good cars but definitely need maintenance and the stuff I done to car is common for these cars, but the maintenance is cheap for a luxury car especially when compared to any European manufacturers, American manufacturers just make literal crap
IS250 did come as a manual or automatic. The IS350 was a 6 speed automatic only.
You believe or not i bought today my 2004 type s and you just upload this vid. [Middle Europe]
I wanna see another acura tl on here
Real time racing! Peter Cunningham is a legend
Owned two loved these cars. The DBW throttle lag was prettt bad though
Woahhhh this comes with a stick shift!? I didn’t know this car top of that I like inline engines then v shape engines. I love the online sound. Holy shot the package.
I own a 06 manual is250 so they definitely exist lmao but definitely slower than a donkey
a donkey would pull bus lengths on a manual is250 but in saying that i kinda miss owning one
you may as well sell it then, Drew.
It may not be fast but it sounds waaay better than a l4...not that the k24 sounds bad but Toyota has made some sweet singing 6's. And rwd. Let's also not forget the mazda 1.8 v6 lol
manual is250 was slow. wasnt reponsive. felt like i was shifting a truck.
Put a K or B series in it 🤷🏽♂️
Look up a honda accord cdti 2004, its basically a Turbo diesel TSX that not many people know about
NW_ innovations I like this!
A solid car with a proper transmission. Nice!
These things look like a cool daily , looking for a clean auto one but they’ve gone up since this video lol looking at 6-7k for 130k-180k miles lol . I have an Si so I didn’t want another manual , needed something more daily friendly especially with heavy traffic lol . This convinced me even more , little body kit , exhaust and wheels and you’re good to go lol
@S.M. still on the hunt lol , it’s so crazy. Hoping for a car market crash
Hopefully you guys can find a modified one, that would be cool to see and compare.
A manual tsx for 4k i wish at least not in my area 💀
just got an 08 with 98,000 miles stick shift for $4,300- Lucky me
@@Kratos2591 what?? wow
@@Kratos2591 LUCKY
I have a 2010 TSX white with 6 speed. It took sometime to find a 6 speed, white with black leather interior
Is250 was the only one offered in MANUAL , not auto only....for that generation IS at least
IS300 was offered in manual...
agentlongwood pretty sure he meant the generation after since he even mentioned the 250. When the is300 was manual it was only model at time
agentlongwood IS300 was the 1st gen. 250 is the 2nd gen auto only
Miguel Flores 250s do come with a 6spd Manual. I HAVE ONE. They’re just rare asf
Those are still nice looking cars.
A TSX should not be compared to a Civic... It is a much more comfortable car to drive. Slow is not a word I would use when describing a TSX. The motor is awesome and super reliable.
Easily my favorite TSX generation, although I *HATE* the 06-07 front clip. Just can't do it even though these are more common. Give me an 04-05 6-speed in the silvery blue with all options. The only nice/interesting thing about the Gen 2s was the wagon, but no V6 or no manual allowed in those.
