Noobie introduction

I am currently driving an '03 Track 350z and am looking at selling it for a 06 TSX 6-speed with Navi.

I'll probably be around to ask a few dumb questions every now and then while I wait for my car to sell.

Welcome to the site.

Ask away. We get dumb questions all the time. We give dumb answers in return.

Along with the occasional "fucktard" to keep you in check

Wow, Nice warm welcome here.

I am not completely sure why I am getting rid of the Z. I think it has to do with an illness I have that makes me compulsively buy vehicles every 1.5 years. I am looking for something a little more relaxed to drive. The Z is a great car and a complete blast every time I drive it, but sometimes I just want to relax in a car. That is impossible with a 300whp sports car.

So here I am looking at either an 06 TSX or 06 TL. I have read forums for both and overall it seems that TSX owners are a lot more content with their vehicles. Is it just me or is that the truth?

Maybe we have lower expectations or are looking for a different type of ride, but I agree that TSX owners are pretty content

I was just going to ask that. Has anyone come from a more powerful car to the TSX, and if so do you miss the power?

That's why I am also considering the TL. Although, I have read the the build quality on the TL isn't very good.

I was given a TL as a loaner when they were fixing the AC on my TSX. Floored it every chance I got to see if I could like the power. I'm sure it was accelerating faster than the TSX but once I'm at 100 mph in either there's not much of a point in going much faster. But, I definitely missed the nimble agility of the TSX - the TL felt kinda heavy and not as responsive. I was glad to get back in my car when I returned to the dealership.

Or to put it another way, there are no stupid questions but there are lots of inquisitive idiots (I know - I 've been known to be one)

Welcome from a fellow noob! Still got three months to wait until my '06 DGP AT w/NAVI arrives.

Coming from a Type S that was decently modded (CAI/headers/catback & hondata) i sometimes miss the power. And my old shit does not even touch what you have there my friend. But on the flip side....i hear ya about looking for a relaxing ride. All in all, I do like the TSX better. AND i can still feed modding addiction, which happens to be my personal illness.
