Which car to get!?!?! Well, I figure its time to move on. I have 80500 miles on my car, and im pretty much happy with the way it is. With the money i plan to spend on modding it, i figure I can use it to save up for a new car 
. Even though it probably wont be for a whiiillllleeeee, which car should i get next? Im debating over the 04 accord ex sedan or the acura tsx. Which do you think is a better car? Accord is just a little bit cheaper, but i think the tsx looks nicer . So, what would you guys advise?

Nothing against you d00d...just a point that never gets made is that people here talk about getting these class heavy cars like the TSX and even the STI and so on but never give a thought as to what the insurance will cost them. I can think of three younger guys here in town that bought the 6thgen SiR/Si and had to get rid of them inside the first three months because mommy and daddy wouldn't pay the high insurance rates on it.
But all that said, if you can fork it over for the insurance on one of those two cars....TSX my friend. That's my recomendation.

Rep Power: 306 yes, im taking into consideration insurance as well. im still wondering though which is the better car. is the tsx worth the money? or is the accord ex sedan the best bang for its buck?
edit: yes, i saw the new eclipse on the past road & track mag. Im not really feelin it, just a tad bit toooo futuristic for me, and i dont like coupes. I need a 4dr.

TSX, accord sedans are too mommy, even though they are nice.
LIKE PHAROH SAID, LOOK AT INSURANCE. Insurance rapes me on a 2002 civic as it is, i cant imagine having a "luxury" brand car.

Rep Power: 0 Concerning this luxury car insurance issue. When I had my IS300 I paid $65 a month in insurance payments. I now pay $130 a month for the Civic. Exact same coverage and deductibles. So this argument doesn't always hold true. However, with the TSX the theft risk might be higher than the Lexus.
