We haven't really "ran" per se, but we messed around on the highway earlier and neither really seemed to be able pull away from the other

People rave about the TSX handling, and yes it's pretty good...but only because it's got factory strut bars and 17" wheels. I've got an FSTB on otherwise stock suspension, and due to my lower weight my car handles almost as well.
It would be a nice choice for a NEW car, but ehh...I don't see what all the hype is

'06 TSX comes with fogs FTW.
Standard HIDS sun roof, leather front driver, passenger, side curtin airbags FTW
Optional touch screen, voice activated/command navigation FTW
Bluetooth FTW
memory option seats FTW
For under 30k, you're getting everything fully loaded. An entry luxury sedan gives all kinds of great reviews all over the place. The only problem i can see is the lack of power out of the box.
6-speed + Hondata flash + comptech rear strut bar + Turbo = teh ******* win.
For 30k it measures up to be the "best bang for your buck."

Sure, you can spend another 10k for the Lexus IS 250, Audi A3, or low level bimmer. But that's the base price...the minute you add the sunroof, navigation, etc etc, look at paying somewhere close to 40-45k.
I was in your same position before i actually RESEARCHED it. In my ignorant stage, I was thinking "Dur, it's only 4 cylinders...whats so special about it?" I would suggest to do a little research first before you are biased about it.

I'll be honest. I REALLY thought the same thing before I researched the TSX.
And of course you whooped his assss on the highway. You have an extra 2 cylinders to work with while the TSX has sh!tty torque. A hondata reflash and CAI and it may be a different story.

I'm confident a TSX 6spd will beat an auto 4th gen on the highway.

Yes, he redlines it constantly...many times unintentional. And yeah, it's 10 years newer...that definitely helps.

By unintentional I mean he downshifts to the wrong gear often enough to where he's at like 6500 RPM when he downshifts.
May? Sweet.
