I like the car, it looks good! I am not saying that BMW does not have drawbacks but the Acura is front wheel drive, which I think hinders the handling department. The safety of the TSX is probably not as well as the BMW, but I could be absolutely wrong on that! Honestly for the price and the look and all the features you get with the car, more power to ya!! Good Luck, it is a really hot car! Usually when I see one I give it a good stare! Be safe with it! Congratulations! Which 3 series were you looking to get? If the 325i then you are getting more HP with the Acura by like 20hp I think....
