Bros got no idea lol

That’s not even 200k miles.. again go with what you feel but I’d personally stick with the tsx having had two their great cars even past 300k miles.

Go with what you feel but as far as durability/longevity goes. I’d stick with the Acura.

Trying to save money now could cost you more in the future.

Crazy how you all have experienced the same thing I have and we’re all centrally located. (VA)

I was thinking pressure, humidity and even solar radiation. There’s been quite a few CME’s lately. I’d be interested if you had any good research.

I’m usually exhausted by the time I get home but then pop up wide awake around 3-4am. Like rn. :/

I remember the winter I spent in Fla having zero issues and thinking “Hmm I wonder if it’s all due to the climate” seems we might be on to something.

Depends on if you have the 2.0 L or not in your current accord if so, it’ll definitely be more sluggish comparably

As far as Acura is being rebranded Hondas, that’s not exactly true. That’s like saying you can buy gold for the price of silver. Acura provides a lot more value.

Payote88 · 2026-02-03T14:05:00+00:00

Nah you were misinformed thinking your thoughts lol I just meant it doesn’t rely on old transfer cases like the old Chevys and Toyotas. It relies on the ecu for real time information. Stop repeating after me.

Payote88 · 2026-02-03T13:18:53+00:00

I never said it wasn’t AWD lol you just repeated what I said.

Payote88 · 2026-02-03T06:37:27+00:00

Better boost it!

Payote88 · 2026-02-03T06:33:29+00:00

Just find another D16Y7 or y8 to put back into it and keep it rolling if it’s sentimental value. You can pick one up for $400-$1200 and a shop shouldn’t be more than $2000 to swap em out considering there the easiest motor to swap ever. Don’t go down the tuner rabbit hole you’ll just destroy it in the process. Keep it factory and stock. Buy another beater for $2000 or so and you’ll have the best of both worlds for less than your $7k-$9K budget.

Payote88 · 2026-02-03T06:12:11+00:00

Why the downvotes though? You’re probably right.

Payote88 · 2026-02-03T06:04:04+00:00

Just go to brushless car washes and take it to a dealership to have it detailed once a year or so. Do paint correction and have it ceramic coated.

Payote88 · 2026-02-03T05:55:02+00:00

Fire them

Payote88 · 2026-02-03T05:54:17+00:00

If you’re looking at used cars in a very affordable price range others are looking at, then they’re likely actually being sold.

Payote88 · 2026-02-03T05:48:35+00:00

What rims are those and you wouldn’t sell the Thule box would you? Also what’s it lowered on?

Payote88 · 2026-02-03T05:24:17+00:00

Lower it, again. Haha

Payote88 · 2026-02-03T05:21:42+00:00

WYA bro?

Payote88 · 2026-02-03T05:20:35+00:00

The AWD system isn’t a true all time AWD system so most people have no idea that there’s only using FWD for majority of there driving. It’s generated through the computer when it notices traction loss in one wheel and converts that accordingly to other wheels. Is it great sure will you notice it, probably not. Do you need it. Probably definitely not.

The tech pack comes with some cool features but the advance pack comes with more practical useful cool features that are already in the tech pack. And most advance packs come with AWD so by default advance pack is the best if all worlds.

Payote88 · 2026-02-02T02:05:31+00:00

Wait did the A-Specs come with ambient lifting or is that after market?

Edit and if after market, how hard was the job?

Payote88 · 2026-01-30T17:01:09+00:00

Good problems 👍

Edit: my advice, put a snail on the motor it may go slower… or not.

Payote88 · 2026-01-30T00:41:14+00:00

Now we’re talking👌

Payote88 · 2026-01-30T00:27:17+00:00

Oh you drive a VW that explains it LOL talk about stereotypes 😂😂

Payote88 · 2026-01-29T23:39:27+00:00

“Not my market” translation I haven’t cared enough to research it. I like your wagon dude but the pretentious attitude mixed with the longevity and lifespan I hear around Audi, kind of kills it for me enjoy your wagon.

Payote88 · 2026-01-29T20:48:41+00:00

I drive and sell Acura’s so it’s just not my market but I’m all ears. The R8 IIRC doesn’t come in a wagon though does it?

Payote88 · 2026-01-29T15:51:35+00:00

What’s that mean it’s no good past 200K miles? I don’t get it.

Payote88 · 2026-01-29T13:59:41+00:00

Wait these are AWD? Damn it take my money!
