Congrats on the new ride! 
. The TSX is a terrific car. Handles well, good engine, looks sharp. First mod on my mind if I were in your shoes would be to swap out the wheels/tires for somethin nicer 
Auto or manual? The latter is really the only way to go on that car.

I'd get these in 19s or 18s if I could though.

I can understand disappointment at not getting exactly what you want, but you should realize (and it does seems that you do, to your credit) that most people will not feel very bad for you, given you just got a brand new Acura TSX. It's a great car, and you should feel very privileged and very thankful. You have generous parents.

HAHA maybe from the 2fast2stupid generation guys... oh wait... they like hondas, nm. 
Flame you for having a NEW tsx... nope, not even. No one does FF better than honda, and the euro spec accord? Way better than the more plebian accords. Now if you got a reg accord or even a *cough* civic... fire and brimstone will rain your head

That plays an important role. I'm all for constructive criticism when its based on sound logic. There's a good dose of that around here. Honestly, the TSX is probably the only Acura I'd buy. It's well-balanced and a terrific chassis. (No surprise that I see a lot of those here). The only loss is perhaps with the automatic, I think it overrides manual commands and does premature upshifts in 1st gear.
