I took my TSX to the dealer to get some work done on it and to my surprise they decided to let me have a 2004 TL as a loaner.

That machine is bad-ass. Driving that TL made me wish I waited 2 more months and gotten that instead of the TSX. That extra 6 or 7 grand is definitely worth it. Too bad I only got it for a day, maybe I'll ask the dealership if they want to trade cars.

"That extra 6 or 7 grand is definitely worth it. " Not to me. *shrug* To each their own.

i drove the TL too as a loaner and it has better accelerations thats a given, but i felt really like an old man like i jumped 5-10 yrs in age while driving that car, i'm only 24 yrs old.

i tried the sportshift in the TL and it had a mind of its own, like i wanted to shift to 5th gear, but wouldn't let me until i got to a certain speed unlike in the Tsx.

i love the extra see you later acceleration, but the fun wasn't there for me. felt like i was driving a caddy seville, prob cause the color was a white/parchment combo color.

Is this at courtesy or fountain acura?

I have had a 2001 CL-S (Sundance gold), 2002 RSX (Silver), 2003 TL(Eternal Blue Pearl) and now TSX 6mt (Indigo Blue Pearl). I liked the TL but no doubt in my mind even after testing the TL 6mt that the TSX was close enough to the RSX that I still sorely missed to get the TSX. I didn't think the 2004 TL put 5-10 yrs on me, thank goodness I would have to retire then but as nice as it is I don't regret for 1 second getting the TSX. I have had it for 33 days, have 3700 kms on it, nary a problem, put on a 100 kms a day, 50 min in the morning, 1hr and a quarter on average coming home, drive it hard when the opportunity permits and still averaging 31-33 mpg. Can't wait to put my 17" Adr Hypertek and Falken Azenis ST-115 on in the next week or so and see how much better it handles.

It was at courtesy acura in Sanford. So if you go there make sure to ask for it.

I also noticed that the sportshift had a mind of its own. When I was driving the car would automatically shift from 1st to 2nd unless I really opened it up in 1st gear. This can be helpful when you forget you're driving in "manumatic"
