Selling TSX - Bye all

Unfortunately, as much fun as the stick was, and as great as the car was, it wasn't working for the whole family, so away it goes. As you can see though, I stayed in the Acura family, just made sure to get an automatic to keep the peace.

Oh no, another CGP. Didn't know you can buy even a TL in the ever-popular color .

Can't wait for your customary TSX vs TL comparison...

Congrats!

Why not a Type-S? Not that the base TL isn't nice.

Probably because he didn't buy an 07 model (note the wheels and taillights).

Doesn't the 07 base TL have the same wheels and tails as the earlier ones CG?

Also, TL doesn't come in CGP, only Anthracite.

you guys are funny. It's an '05 with 15k miles on it, and yes it is the Camel color with anthracite.

The 6MT is still available. I'm asking $24,500 on the marketplace, but at this point $24k will work. Leaving town in a bit, but I've got a few people looking at it, so we'll see what happens.

As for the comparisons... I like the TSX - I'm not going to do that. They are two different cars that do two different things. I'm about to go to the mountains, and I'll miss the TSX.

Wheels are different on base and Type S. Not sure about the 07 base tails.

And, I guess new for 07, Acura's website has CGP color instead of anthracite up when building the TL.


Base TL in this pic, note new wheels and CGP color option.

Now that you've got an AT, I think you should just remove the letter "f" from your tagline under your username.

Welcome to the AT club.

Nice! I didn't know... also didn't know fogs were a factory option on the base now too. Good to see they are finally stepping things up with the TL, but aren't they slated to axe it soon for a redesign?

Think MY 2009, around the same time as the TSX.

Precisely for that reason, your comparison will be unbiased and valuable to potential buyers shuttling between TL/TSX. Even they are two different cars, the price difference in not that much - and most of us could have afforded the TL as well. Also, apart from that AT/MT issue, was their anything else that made you upgrade to TL?

Judging by his whole family reference, I'd say the increased rear seat room of the TL would be a plus for him as well.

As a gross exagerration, but something I think fits with what I've seen in this forum, most of us TSX drivers are "1 passenger" cars, with drivers who prefer a driver's car.

TL is still a sweet vehicle in its own right.

By saying "Not sure about the 07 base tails.", if you meant you didn't know what they looked like, then it is like the previous tails except there are clear strips in them where the brake light LEDs light up. If you meant that you're not sure if you like them then IMO there pretty nice compared to the old ones. If it matters my mom has a '04 NBP 5AT.

Navi.

After driving it all over the mountains this weekend, I love the TL. The power and sound of the motor are a wonderful combination, yet the calmness of the ride on the interstate really blew me away. That being said, the TL doesn't have the agility of the TSX, and when pushed in the corners, is not nearly as settled. The TL was still fairly quick up the mountain, but it was a lot harder to drive. The TSX always felt so settled and unflappable in corners, whereas the TL would wander a bit from time to time. Not a poor handling car at all, but just not quite to the standards of the TSX.

That being said I don't regret it. The comfort, power, and room (needed for family/work) are an unbeatable combination.

Thanks, Jurisprudent. This is exactly I thought the difference between TSX and TL would be. Did you notice any torque-steer in 230+ lb-ft put forth by the J32?

Also, I noticed you already changed your profile picture...that was quick

I think the automatic negates a large amount of the torque steer, as I really haven't noticed it that much at all. Considering how much I read about it, I expected to, but in normal driving, and in most spirited driving, it's not a big issue.
