You guys should really up your game.

I tooks same to most ppl.

It isn't like



Also going one gen newer provides a big benefit to someone who doesn't want to drive. I am sure you don't want to have a stepson named Pedro after she winds up in the wrong part of town and can't pay for repair bills.

I had a 2004 TSX when I was 17-almost 21, drove it until 140k miles with the auto. Had no issues with trans, it holds first gear up to 20 mph changes to 2nd at 4k, even if you drive like a pussy. Being a teenager, i beat the living hell out of the that thing. Never had a check engine light, never been stranded, etc. as far as performance, its a great first car, it is slow, but not floaty, nice cruiser and handles good. Best 0-60 was 8.3 ish i believe, vtec starts at like 5,5xx rpm iirc, and it only gets premium. Make sure when you close the gas cap, drag the tooth a little to close.

Only issues i had was alignment. I managed to broke a LCA once (thanks to shitty dc roads), and had a motor mount changed, which caused the steering to shake when you’re idling in D.

Auto only had issues in some very early 2004 models, and they were counter-measured with a lube kit for 2nd gear to keep them okay. I'd stick to 05 and up to play it safe.
