Sport shift, Navi system, Beautiful lighting scheme inside and out (check out the blue ambient lighting inside)
Least favorite feature:
These cars are hard to find. Be prepared to be flexible on color choices.
Advice to buyer:
Buy the Navi system if you can find it. The price difference is small, but the convenience and intuitiveness of the system is top-notch.
Detailed review:
I did research for four months trying to decide what sport sedan to buy. By chance I saw my friend's father's TSX and was intensely curious. I decided to take one for a test drive and I was immediately sold. The performance of the four cylinder can't be overstated. Take one for a test drive and you will immediately see why you will get the performance of a high-end six without chugging premium gasline like a freight train. I don't understand the complaints about the styling; I really find it attractive and everywhere I go it turns heads. I wish I had more room to go into detail here, but the bottom line is: you pay 10 grand more for a BMW 325, but a lot more people drive them and the only extra thing you get is the propeller emblem on the grill. Quality levels between the TSX and 325 are very comparable. Save your money, buy a TSX and you won't be disappointed.
