Would you believe it has almost 250,000 miles?

Such a beauty. This car is built to last!

I got it because my '05 Accord was amazing. This one has an even stronger K24 engine, better looks, and a more comfortable interior.

That’s a dream car for me. Can’t find any good ones around where I live though.

I had to drive 5 hours to get this one. Good 6-speeds are hard to come by!

Hey, I just passed 310k miles on mine! Got it at 216k and brought it back to life with maintenance. It’s been my favorite car so far.

Here’s when I shared it on the Acura forum: https://www.reddit.com/r/Acura/s/I0NFpi2MAy

Looking good! Are those wheels from the A-Spec TL?

Thanks! Not quite, they’re from the A-Spec TSX. I think it’s from the 2009–2014 models.

With regular care, these cars just keep going. At 240k, my oil and transmission fluid still looked fine. Planning a coolant flush soon and need to change the clutch fluid too.

That’s a gorgeous car right there.

The stock CL9 look in that color is amazing.

I agree, but I was really hoping for the blue version they made.

Mine is a boring pearl gray, but I love the car anyway!

I had one for three years with the K24 and 6-speed manual. The design is so clean and timeless. Unfortunately, I ruined the ride by adding Bilstein B12 shocks. I wasn’t thinking it through back then.

These with a 6-speed manual are some of Honda’s best. Practical, reliable, fun, fast enough, comfortable, and stylish.

I added a rear sway bar, which slightly affected ride comfort but really improved handling. I’ll research carefully before choosing new shocks or coilovers.

Wish my paint still looked that good. My hood, roof, and trunk have almost no clear coat left. Was it kept in a garage?

I think it was stored in a carport by the first owner. The headlights were foggy, and the fenders had bad clear coat peeling. The hood and bumper were replaced with parts from an earlier model, probably because they got the worst of it.

I got better fenders from a buddy with a damaged TSX. Paid a bit and traded my peeling ones, so it worked out nicely.

That’s a stunning Acura TSX or Accord Euro!
