You could also consider the mazda 6 (duratec built by Ford).
If you read up on the TSX, it is pretty weak.
On a different note, did anyone see that guy on SVTperformance forums claiming his daughter's '01 4cy Cougar ran 14.2? And his maurader is capable of 10's... Does that strike anyone else as odd?

i thought he was being sarcastic with the sunbird comment but maybe I'm wrong. I have a friend that lies about everything and the best one was him saying that he had his 4 cylinder 2001 galant going 150 MPH!!!! Cant wait to bring my tour down and whoop him!!!

oh yeah, that was sarcasm. I think the last time I drove her car it was zero to sixty in about 14 seconds. Next time I will have the sarcasm a little thicker.
