4age 4age XD XD XD XD Post Master Sr Registered: 09/11/01 Posts: 3969 Loc: North York, Ontario, Canada	^Saving money month to month vs total savings at the end of owning a car are two different things. If the difference is substantial (assuming your TSX is purchased, and you have already paid off 2 years worth or whatever), then whatever savings you get via insurance and what not is negligeable. + you are throwing away the money you already dumped into the TSX. Tho, if you like a heated steering wheel that much, who am i to argue XD (i dont have one of those!) _________________________ http://dreamingin302ci.blogspot.ca/ XD XD XD XD

I havn't even owned the tsx for a year yet, but the problems (moreso the time wasting) with honda trying to figure out this VTC shit is getting annoying. and dat heated steering wheel _________________________ 2019 TLX Aspec

You don't save any money by getting a new car, you just extend your payment by xxx years. At the end of the day, you would have spent $90,000 on two cars. Well, a lease of $90,000 car. _________________________

I have this feeling that some salesman has been putting stupid ideas in your head during all of your recent dealer visits. Ignore everything they say! What's wrong with the TSX, i didn't realize you are having problems? How much is the repair? I thought you liked that car, it's in good condition, what gives?

What's wrong with the TSX, i didn't realize you are having problems? How much is the repair? I thought you liked that car, it's in good condition, what gives? alright here's the deal. so i bought the car last april, VTC started making noise in the fall. since then it's been back to acura for like 4 vtc's. car runs and drives fine, but regardless it's not supposed to make that noise. honda doesn't have a fix for it. fast forward to now, honda, instead of getting off their asses and sending someone over, they do the same song and dance of making audio and video recordings, sending it over to the tech line, wating, and then just replacing the VTC again. they've also replaced any and everything that could be related to the noise. timing chain, tensioner, starter, water pump, everything. after all of that, acura has had the car for the last month..maybe more, and the piss off part about it is that it's just sitting in the parking lot doing sweet jack all. so i've gotten honda canada in on it. now i'm just getting back and fourth from honda canada and the dealership. this one needs to speak with this one, and so on. driving brand new loaners is nice and all, but i want MY car back. the "fix" to this problem, is a brand new head. they need to make the call if they are going to do it or not already and quite frankly being on the 4th or 5th VTC, i don't want the car back with yet another VTC. my next move to is contact CAMVAP (Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan) to see if a buyback is possible, hence why i was looking at the TLX. basically it's just turning into a bunch of time wasting and inconvience. _________________________ 2019 TLX Aspec

4age 4age XD XD XD XD Post Master Sr Registered: 09/11/01 Posts: 3969 Loc: North York, Ontario, Canada	Ok, so you are pissed. I can understand that XD Are your balls tied to Acura? Bc if you are having all these issues, and Acura is being crappy about it, why are you considering another one @_@ You talk about how other cars miss the mark on quality, yet you have replaced a timing component 5x on a brand new car...made by a manufacturer that is renowned for reliability. Not to mention, the new/future car in question is a brand new platform and has yet to have all the kinks worked out (see tranny issue on the more powerful model). Sure, no issues on the 4 banger that we know of yet! You are paying more money for something that is unknown, and honestly, of dubious quality from the same manufacturer. Are you considering anything else at all (like uh, keeping the car and aiming to get the head replaced?)? Oh and to Ed: Wut. F30 has more feel than what? A Camry? XD When I drove it, I wanted walked away from it once the car started rolling. The brakes, steering, errytang is void of feedback $\:\($ And I drove an M sport with the servotronic and fixed calipers to boot!!!! Though mind you, I also find the E90/92 M3 steering to be far worse in feedback than the E90/92 335 as well(servotronic vs no linear steering). _________________________ http://dreamingin302ci.blogspot.ca/ XD XD XD XD
