Anyone have a Volvo S40 or Acura TSX?

Recommended Posts

I have driven the TSX, but not the Volvo.

The TSX is based on the new Accord. It is very nice, pretty light so it feels powerful for the 4 cylinder (Honda 4 cyl engines have always had more power than their competition).

If you're looking for a std trannsmission sports sedan, also consider the Acura TL 6 speed V6. It was designed and made in Ohio. The TSX was a Japan design and mfg.

The Honda Accord 2 door is also available with a 6 speed on the V6 for less money.

You must consider my opinions biased, since I am a design engineer at Honda R&D.

I'm quite biased toward Acura's. I have owned 4, 96 Integra Special Edition, 99 3.2TL, 01 MDX and an 02 RSX Type S. I was extremely pleased with all 4 models. I have also driven several different Volvos and found them to be quality vehicles also. However, my vote would still go to the Acura.

yea, im leaning towards the acura. i test drove the rsx, nice car, but i want 4 door. also, ive had a camry for 4 years now (japanese also) so im leaning more towards a japanese car, more reliable from what i hear. i also heard volvos end up in the shop a lot...any other opinions?

Also, Honda/Acura now beats Volvo in the crash safety results department (according to the crash test group project leader on my program).
