Is this car still good without the tech package?

Hi all, I’m going to be looking at a 2012 sportwagon on Friday. I’m going to get it either way, however it unfortunately does not have the tech package. The navigation I don’t care about, as a 2012 navigation system is outdated af anyway, and I’d just use my phone.

However, not having a backup camera and having a worse sound system are a little bit important to me. This is a first car for me, and I can reverse into a spot with no camera, but don’t particularly know how to tell how close I am to what’s behind me without one (my dads 2011 Tacoma has a backup camera and it’s incredibly useful for seeing how close you are to what’s behind you.)

Then, is the base stereo really that bad? Or is it just fine? (I’m used to and fine with the speakers in a 2011 Tacoma if that helps.)

Power liftgate is useful but definitely not a dealbreaker or anything. None of these things are a true dealbreaker I’m just curious as to what yall think.

TSX hypermiling.

I’m measuring fuel mileage in the high 30 range without doing anything too extreme. Has anyone surpassed 40 MPG‘s? If so, which techniques did you use?

2014 TSX Speaker Replacement Options

As the title says I’m looking for some speakers to replace my car speakers. I bought my 2014 TSX, with the tech package, second hand and I’m looking to replace all four door speakers and both tweeters because they clearly have some damage (They randomly start popping and sound like static or have no audio going through them at all

Does anybody know of good replacements for the door speakers and tweeters without needing to upgrade the amps? I have very little experience working with my cars speakers and I don’t want to mess with the wiring or an amplifier at all. Any advice or suggestions is appreciated

Just picked up this 05 TSX 6 speed !

Always loved these cars, used to have a 06 with an auto trans about 7 years ago and fell in love. Drove about 5 hours total, to and from. Engine is really healthy while the transmission will be needing a rebuild. Cosmetic wise, could definitely use some love. Just posting this as a little appreciation post for this beast and hope to share some updates once I start working on it!

*Does anyone know if these headlights can be restored or if the peeling means I will need a new pair?

-and yes the pcv to intake has been properly connected, PO seemed to have lost the part for it so I got a new one from the dealership for about $12.

Time to begin this rebuild and restore journey!

Speaker popping with strong bass even at low volume

Just trying to figure this one out. Looking for anyone that's experienced this.

I have a 2005 and have noticed that the speakers will emit pops, generally on heavier bass hits, even at low volumes. It's also not consistent either. This is music being streamed from spotify, through a GTA Car Kit. I can listen to music for long periods and not have an issue, then a song with heavier bass can come on and on the bass hits will pop, even smooth bass hits. I can turn the volume down fairly low and the pops are still present. Then a song or two later the whole thing goes away.

The speakers are not blown, so I know it's not them. My concern is that it might be something in the amp (those damn leaky caps possibly). I also saw some posts that listed some connectors that might need to be replaced and it could be caused by crappy connectors.

Any hints would be great to hear. Thanks all!

Is this a good buy?

I found a decently clean tsx wagon with full maintenance records all the way since 2012 to now w 180k miles but it has a rust hole and some rust in general I’m wondering if it’s still a good buy? I’m kinda sold on it

Edit-I should’ve mentioned it’s $4500
