eh, having both in the garage (6 speed tsx, v6 6speed accord sedan), the title for more road noise definitely goes to the accord. more rattles? accord (by far). both cars are happiest on premium fuel, both survive on regular, but fuel is such a whimpy argument when it comes to buying a car because the overall savings are hideous-especially when the accord gets lower mpg in the same driving scenarios by the same drivers on the same roads.... so anything gained by being "able" to put cheaper gas in it, is lost in mpg's..... (tsx is currently getting around 25mpg, accord 18-again, same drivers, same roads, same gas, etc)the tsx also retains value better than the v6 6 speed accord. (stevel isn't "happy" that my car is worth about 2.5k more than his despite mine being about 1k less sticker..... )insurance wise? there was a minimal increase for my tsx from my old 4cyl accord coupe-due to the "sport sedan" category it fell into.... but i was paying about $670 per year and am now paying about $720. waaah. negligible difference, basically a "who cares?" $50 over a year is nothing. stevel's insurance is about $690 on the accord.
