Is an acura tsx considered a sports car?




Joseph


i would like to know if it will raise my insurance if it is a sports car.
Year: 2004



Answer
NO

ITs considered as a entry level sports car.

Sports car are Honda Civic Si, Nissan Sentra SER Spec V, Subaru Impreza WRX Sti, Mitsubishi EVO.

thats an entry level sports car along with BMW 3, Audi A4, Merc C class, Lexus IS, Infiniti G.

Now for insurance, Acura TSX insurance will be low among those but high (depending upon where you live)

BMW, Infiniti any with a 6 cylinder engine has high insurance, that also includes Lexus IS300, if you didn't know the IS300 has high er insurance than IS250 (Because IS300 has the supra engine without turbo)

Acura with 2004 should be fine, Acura TSX is a "white man's car" along with BMW.

oh if its a manual then probably yes, (not sure but ask insurance company)

It doesnt have V6 or RWD so it has the lowest insurance but pretty high because its considered as a Luxury car.

An average person 40 years of age would pay almost 1000 for just his car insurance but with a tsx he would pay about 1300+. "Extra Luxury Charge"

Which a a better sports luxary car? Audi a4, Acura tl or Lexus is?




willie


Hey I'm a 25 year manger at a store, I also attend college I live in San diego. I want to know opinions on which car is best suited for luxary and sport out of Audi a4, acura tl an Lexus is models. I want something quick still luxary they you can be proud to drive downtown with. I don't want to do alot of Maintence. Which is better for a kid about to finsh school wants to have luxary sports car?


Answer
Lexus isn't much into performance, sure its a RWD but its not that much of a handler. (I am not abusing lexus but just being factual)

from the three list you gave me, its a good start, but you have to remember that reliability, insurance, tax and fuel cost will change if you get a sports luxury car.

Audi A4, try not to get the turbo ones especially if they're over 60K, turbo will be expensive, normal ones are hard to find. Insurance tax fuel cost and even simple maintenance cost like oil change (synthetic on turbo) will cost you. so be ready for that! Audi has the best interior and is one of the best looking cars on the road today, especially the B7. Their interiors are worth being in one. Audi is overall the fastest one here.

Acura TL, good car but has single cams, not much of a performer and surprisingly the Acura TSX handles better than the TL, (I can imagine because its a midsize thats probably why). Its a honda so everything on this car is cheap. (will cost a bit because Acura is a luxury name)

Lexus IS is a very good car, it rides brilliantly but not much of a handler because of its chassis, its not tuned properly. it is however a RWD so you'll get better handling unlike audi and acura. Again its a toyota, its suppose to be cheap in every way. Lexus is a good looking car, I don't see anything wrong with it and have no complains about it. Don't listen to recalls, they're just discouraging customers to buy GM instead of Japanese cars.

Answer
A true sports car is a two seat convertible roadster like the Mazda Miata, Honda S2000 or BMW Z4.

Mustangs and Camaros are sport coupes and cars like the BMW M3 and Lexus IS are considered sports sedans.

What's an amazing Lexus sport car?




Your Mom


Alright. So im 13 going on 14 in July...
And my Mom is letting me pick my car and I just want a Lexus car because my name is Lexus :p haha but she just wants a couple of years to help me save up for a car that I want because it'll probably be cheaper in a year or so. Hopefully :p but I probably wont change my mind so don't give me shit about that please. Because I am into cars from the past also, so it would kinda be good for me in a couple years to get a 2011, 2012, 2013, in 2015 or whatever :p not much of a difference anyways...
So I'm into fast, nice looking cars c; omg...!<3
I've been looking into some but I know Lexus probably has more, but the ones I've seen are alright but kinda shitty. My #1 choice right now is the GS F. But I'm not like.. "omg I love this car!"
So can you help me haha?
What's a nice, Lexus sports car?!(:
Or even.. maybe just a nice Lexus car!?(:
I sound dumb.. but yeah Cx
Shaannkkss ;D



Answer
An amazing Lexus sports car is the LFA - but that costs $375K, so unless your mom is Oprah Winfrey, you can pretty much forget about that one.

Beyond that, anything with an "F" in it. The IS-F if you can afford it (runs about $60K), or if that's too much, the F sport accessory package on the IS250, IS350 or GS. None of those are cheap either ($40K+). It's nothing you're going to save up for with babysitting or lawn mowing money.

An older SC 430 convertible is pretty cool, but a 7 or 8 year old one will still run you over $20K.

Good luck!

Base Price: 2008 Lexus IS-F - $56,000
2008 Lexus IS-F PicturesIS-F High-Performance Luxury Sedan - Lexus Tries to Create an M3 Rival
The all-new 2008 Lexus IS-F high-performance luxury sedan will deliver more than 400 horsepower from a 5.0-liter V8 engine when it goes into production. The exciting new car makes a dramatic statement of Lexus performance.

The "F" designation was first conceived nearly 20 years ago with a project internally coded "Circle-F," with the "F" standing for "flagship." This was the original code for what became the Lexus Division. The Circle-F designation further evolved into the code name Flagship One, or F1, and the first F1 concept developed into Lexus' first vehicle, the LS. Since then, the "F" code has come to signify a special vehicle program within Lexus that falls outside the normal engineering and development process.

Lexus IS-F Performance Sedan

Much of the development of the new Lexus IS-F took place at Fuji Speedway and the Higashi-Fuji Technical Center in Japan. The Lexus IS-F is based on the proven rear-wheel-drive Lexus IS, which is equipped with a double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension. As well as the IS performs, Lexus engineers demanded much more of the all-new IS-F. The result is a performance tuned 5.0-liter V8 engine, topped with specially engineered heads fed by a two-stage intake system, that produces 400-plus horsepower and more than 350 lb-ft of torque. The all-new IS-F is equipped with engine-oil and transmission-fluid coolers for high-speed performance and a cylinder head-scavenging oil pump for high g-force driving.

The Lexus IS-F engine is mated to the world's first eight-speed direct sport-shift transmission. A new torque-converter lock-up control was developed that allows for a direct, crisp gear change through the constant lock-up of the torque converter in second through eighth gears. In Drive mode, the IS-F transmission performs with great smoothness, and the torque converter allows for great launch ability for fast standing-start acceleration that will register a zero-to-60 time in less than 4.9 seconds.

This unique transmission also features an advanced Manual mode. A pair of paddles located within a fingertip's reach behind the steering wheel enables the driver to make ultra-fast up-shift gear changes within a tenth of a second. Downshifts are accompanied by automated and incredibly precise throttle blips to match engine RPM to vehicle speed.

The impressive acceleration achieved by the Lexus IS-F requires it be equipped with heavy-duty Brembo brakes designed to the specifications of the Lexus engineering team. Huge, 14.2-inch cross-drilled front discs are gripped by rigid, powerful six-piston aluminum calipers, while 13.6-inch rear cross-drilled discs feature two-piston calipers. High-friction brake pads are equipped on all four wheels. The brakes are finished with the Lexus name displayed on the calipers, a first for a Lexus production vehicle.

The IS-F features custom-designed 19-inch forged alloy wheels as standard. The wheels were built to Lexus specifications by BBS and are surrounded by high-performance sport tires.

The attention to performance also extends to a modified suspension that lowers the entire car by more than a half-inch when compared to the base IS, and one full inch when compared to IS models equipped with 18-inch wheels. This specially modified suspension allows for an exciting and energetic drive, whether on a race track or the streets.

The IS-F features an all-new three-mode version of Lexus' Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) system. In addition to the Normal mode, the new VDIM features a Sport mode that allows the driver to push the car even further before its braking-, throttle- and steering-control systems kick in. The third VDIM system mode is Off, which allows the driver to push the IS-F to its ultimate level of handling performance.

The attention to performance is complemented by modified styling cues that differentiate the IS-F from the standard IS. Lexus engineers provided the IS-F with a dual-exhaust system and quad-tail pipes, wider front fenders, and a larger grille and rear spoiler. Both the hood and lower intake were enlarged to accommodate and cool the V8 engine.

Like the exterior, the interior of the IS
