Both are Hondas one Overpriced with fewer letters the other has a name. So either one you pick is Honda quality. By my personal experience with Honda, none of the above.

Which car mostly deponds on what's important to you. There are distinctives between the '08 Accord & the '08 TSX...Accord --Larger & roomier than TSX (but at the price of poorer handling, and worse economy)Newer body style than aging TSX (only matters if it truly matters to you...both are sharp looking cars)V6 is quicker off the line than TSX (though TSX is quick enough...most don't know you have to push the RPMs on the TSX, then it moves!)The EX has as many ammenities as the TSXSofter, family car rideTSX --This IS the European Accord rebadged into the Acura lineupAcura's (Honda Motor's) best handling sedan (sport tuned suspension/chassis)Competitive performance & value against the IS250Sharp stylingThe new TSX will be released next year (assuming that matters)If acceleration is paramount, the stock V6 Accord would be the likely choice...or the TL/TL S. However, many folks enjoy the TSX's superior chassis setup & handling, and add perfomance mods (A-SPEC kit, CAI, headers, supercharger, etc.) for added gains. Both the V6 Accord EX & the TSX of course run in the same price range. I'd go drive each one & let that experience be your guide! Happy motoring...

to answer that question, u have to ask urself what do u need the car for?? for kids or jus 2ppl?? the tsx is a lil sportier and has a k24 which pumps 205hp and its adequete for everyday driving. if ur lookn for room get the accord cause of its big open spaces and wide seats. if u like some sportiness get the tsx, lookn for a family car, accord. can't go wrong wit either car

Accord is bigger and has a V6. But the TSX is a peppy little guy. Drive them both and decide if you really like one better than the other. To me the ride is the sell. When I was buying a few years ago I drove a V6 Accord and a 3.2TL. To me the TL was a no brainer even though it cost more. But this Accord is a whole new animal - it might be smoother than the TSX.Bottom line - test drive and go for the one that you like the best. If they are equal go with the one you get a better deal on price wise.

Oh I was in the same dilemma 2 months ago! I couldn't decide on the 08 Accord EX-L V6 or the 08 TSX. They were both around the same price except that that Accord has a better engine and is roomier. Did you test drive the cars yet? I definitely felt the difference in the pickup but I didn't like the interior of the Accord. I also wanted a navigation system and I didn't like the placement of the navi inside the Accord. I ended up test driving the TSX on the same day and fell in love with it. i figured that I don't live in a state where there are a lot of hills which will require me to get a V6 car, so I ended up getting the Acura because I wanted a luxury car as my 2nd car. Hope that helps!
