TSX, hands down. I bought a 2003 Accord in August of 2004. 4 cyl., MT.
Very reliable, etc., etc. but not much fun to drive. I use a couple of
exits off local interstates as my benchmark (plus any backroad in NW
Penna.), and my old VW Jetta blew the doors off this thing.

In December of 2004 my wife got a 2005 TSX, 4 cyl. MT, ouch, what a
difference. It was 8-9K more than the Accord, so it sounds like you
are getting a good price.

It's superior in every dimension, acceleration, 6 speed MT vs. 5,
creature comforts, and of course the handling. It's a little smaller,
but if Honda hasn't really changed anything about the design of the
Accord I wouldn't recommend it unless you just want reliable. So far
it's been great in that regard.
