20k would be the maximum i could drop


2012 Ram 1500 with the 5.7
You can pick up a brand new overflow with 4x4 for 20,000, probably less because they want to MOVE them.

you don't like the new 09 body style of the tsx?

any other cars brand new for 20k you're looking at or only the vw?



2008 looks way sexier than 2009+ models...

as you know I own a TSX so that's where my choice is. you said you don't want another honda but just so you know acura is honda's luxury line of vehicles.

the 2008 tsx is the last one of the 1st gen tsx (which imo is the much nicer gen and also you get all the goodies and updates they've put into the car).

if you buy the jetta you get your w/e factory warranty...which is always awesome to have...but you also have a car that instantly depreciates thousands as you drive off the lot.

with the tsx you get no warranty...but you get a much faster car, a much nicer looking car, a car with waaay more luxury feautures, a car that handles amazingly, epic honda/acura reliability, etc etc.

edit: I'd look into the 10th anniversary mitsubishi lancer as a new car option in your range

Dont take care of your car, its wont take care of u.

If you live in areas where you got snow, id personally get a g35/g37. AWD. its a beast. its mainly RWD anyways


I wouldn't call it a beast lol, and I'd never recommend an awd one. Its definitely much better to drive than a TSX or a jetta though. 17k seems like way too much for that tsx anyways.

I just looked at the jetta online, that car looks sooo boring from the outside. Inside is decent though

TSX looks good inside and out

Given the 2 options I like the tsx, not sure about the price though as I have no idea what a used tsx should cost

beast as in it will perform well in the snow or even cornering dry pavement. I would always recommend infiniti's awd esp if its the only car you got. well balanced between performance, handling, all seasons. Its RWD based anways. if you want it full RWD you can just remove a fuse.

As soon as you go awd you have to start worrying about awd parts and repairs as well as worse fuel economy. If you don't 100% need it, as 99% of people don't, I would not recommend it.
