    I had to sell my beloved Tacoma, LaToya, back in February. Since then i purchased a 2008 Acura TSX. Its fully loaded with navigation and stuff like that. the interior is definitely an upgrade from my truck but yet, it is still not my truck. I havent been on this site since i sold the truck but i thought i would take another visit tonight. Ive been on another forum for TSX owners and its all ricer/lowered builds and i am just not a fan. I miss the lifted life. How have yall been doing?

    not sure about the is250 forums, but the tsx forum is SO dead. I posted some trouble shooting threads and the only reply i got was 2 weeks after i posted. i love how active tacomaworld is.

    At least the TSX is a decent car...

    Is it a manny tranny? I've owned Acura products...little nicer than Hondas but not on par with Lexus, MB blah blah.

    But they don't cost as much to buy or maintain either.

    I miss the products Honda/Acura used to build and the TSX was one of the good ones.

    Yeah, tacomaworld is way more alive (or at least more relevant to me) than customtacos seemed when I stopped being active there a few years ago.

    no its an auto. i kinda wish i had gotten the 6speed but then i also hated driving my manual civic i used to own. i get pretty good gas mileage compared to my old taco. i did look into the audi a4 turbo, and the lexus is350. but way out of my price range and like you said they are expensive to maintain. At first when i looked at acura, i wanted a TL-S because they look awesome IMO and they produce some power

    agreed. thats why i came back here lol

    lol yeah.... I miss that Tacoma so badly. But I'll be building the pickup.
    Honestly, if you search for a pickup in GA you might be able to pick one up cheap.
