BMW 3 vs. ACURA TSX - CarForums.net

STRINGSMITH · 01-09-2007, 04:15 PM

I just bought a 2002 325I (46k miles) and I'm feeling like I should have bought the 2005 Acura TSX w/NAV (35.5k miles) that I had my eye on. I always wanted a BMW and got a great deal but the car has virtually no cargo space for CDs and the like. I like "techie" stuff and I really do think the BMW drives like nothing I've driven before but being in CA I can't drive the car to the "edge" anyway. I guess I'm looking for some reassurance that I made the right choice. I got the car last night (1/8) and now I'm already thinking of selling! It drives VERY well but doesn't have the amenities I was used to in my old car (Acura CL-Type S). Any input? This is my first German car I might add...

Does it have anything new to play with? Sometimes you start finding things you ike about the car that you didn't like at first. Also, you could always trying customizing it to make it stick out and not look like any other Bimmer on the road.

I really don't think that the TSX would have made you happier. You would be sitting here thinking the same thing if you bought th TSX...did I make the right choice.

Honestly, every day I wonder if I would not have been better off with a Nissan Titan for all of my hunting and landscaping needs, or, that I should have bought the Subaru Legacy GT because it was faster and got better gas mileage.

I just need to get acquainted with the car I guess. My co-workers seem to think that I just need to take the car for a road trip to appreciate the driving experience. I do plan on customizing the car later but at this point I'm still on the fence with keeping it. I guess I'm not a German car fan afterall. We'll see. Thanks for the input.

If you look at the two in a few years (not sure how long you are keeping it), the BMW will still turn heads and be a BMW.

The Acura, no offense to Acura drivers, will be an Acura.... not a BMW. Not to mention, the BMW will hold up better, sound cooler, and be safer!
