rsx, tsx, or accord?

Question

i was wondering
1) which one is fastest, and slowest
2) which one is better overall

Answer 1

RSX-S is the fastest then TSX & Accord.

Answer 2

RSX is off the market - so between the other two - you can buy a V6 6 speed Accord which is much quicker than the TSX which is quicker than the 4cyl Accord. The TSX handles better than the Accord also, but has less room and is more expensive.

So...if the higher price of the TSX isn't a problem, drive one and see if you are satisified with the performance of the four, and compare with a V6 Accord. I have a 4cyl/5 speed Accord, great car but not exactly fast.

Having driven both - I would buy a V6/6 speed Accord. The Hybrid is somewhat more powerful, but heavier and no stick, so I'm quite sure the manual Accord would beat it and handle better - plus the Hybrid is quite a bit more $$$$

You really can't go wrong with any Honda - it's all a matter of personal preferences and budget.

Answer 3

RSX is the slowest, TSX is second slowest, Accord V6 is fastest. If it's an Accord 4-cylinder you're comparing, that would be a little slower than the TSX. And if it's an RSX type-s, that would be about neck and neck with a V6 Accord (if shifted well). The RSX is a piece of crap that Honda stopped importing to the US because it is just that. The TSX is nice, but for nearly $30,000, you'd expect more than a 4 cylinder with less interior room than a BMW 3-series. For a little over $20,000 you can get a very elegant looking Honda Accord with V6 power and leather seats. The Accord is by far in a way the better car, and if you get one in late '07 right before the brand new restyled '08 ones come out, you can probably get a pretty incredible deal.

P.S. I agree with JLM, '07 G35 is the best sedan out there.

Answer 4

The Acura RSX is no longer for sale, so if you’re looking for new, the choice is between the TSX or the Accord. We have seen reports that say a new one may be expected this year. If you are considering a used model, we would suggest looking at the RSX and TSX. They are very similar. After all, they are basically the same vehicle—the RSX is the 2-door version and the TSX is the 4-door version. (Interestingly, the TSX sold in the U.S. market is the same vehicle sold as the Honda Accord in other countries.) So, they’re all pretty similar. The RSX comes standard with a 2.0L, 155-hp 4-cylinder engine. Honda’s midsize Accord is the second-best-selling car in America. It received major updates in 2006. Accord buyers can choose from 4-cylinder and V-6 gasoline engines or a hybrid version. We don’t have performance specs on these models and don't know the 0-60 stats, but you can look at a recent issue of Road & Track. Also, you might take a gander at customer satisfaction and quality ratings for these models and reviews at JDPower.com. Enjoy your search.

Answer 5

A hybrid Accord is faster then the RSX or TSX, gets the best gas mileage of the three, has the most usability but probably doesn't handle quite as well as the other too. I like the TSX but the Accord Hybrid would probably be the best overall.

Answer 6

Well it depends on what trim levels you're talking about, but lets just say the top models in each one.

RSX-S is the fastest. Then TSX, Then Accord.

It depends on what you would be using it for. The RSX only comes in a 2 door coupe as the TSX and Accord you can get both in 4 doors, but you can also get the Accord in a 2 door as well (if my memory serves me correctly). It's really all about what you would be using it for and what type of car you prefer. RSX is more of a sporty type coupe. TSX is more luxury and practical for a family type car. Accord is also more luxury and economy based. I would suggest going and taking them all for a test drive to see which one you like the best. Don't let us make your decision seeing as you will be the one driving it for the next however many years.

I would pick the RSX...of course I'm biased towards them because I own one myself!

Answer 7

the rsx would be the fastest..unless the accord is the v6 model. it is the most "sporty" out of the three. the tsx would be the most luxurious. the accord is probably the cheapest. all three are made about the same quality. the new accord v6 coup is very nice. if you need a family car, on a budget, go with the accord sedan. if you want a sports car, go with rsx.

Answer 8

I leased an RSX Type S for four years and it is the most fun you will ever have driving a car. I now own a 2007 BMW 328i and should know. However, Acuras are some of the best cars out there. I would wait on the new TSX due out some time this year. That would be my choice of the three you mentioned. Great car for a great price.

Answer 9

if you're deciding solely on speed then it's a close race between Accord V6 coupe and RSX Type-S (if you can find remaining 2006)
If you add handling into the equation, then I'd vote for the RSX.

Which is better overall? well, that's too open ended and subjective.
But I can tell you this, if you somehow luckily find a RSX Type-S, you must have a garage, or have a REALLY good alarm. There are lot of punks out there that think the v-tec engine in your car is free.

Answer 10

Buy the TSX. It's a perfect combination of humble sport sedan and mid-grade luxury. Nothing about it exudes arrogance. It is 4 cylinder so fairly decent on gas, and it does cost less than a 3-series bimmer. Maybe get an S4 if you want good speed. Plus they look awesome.
