I think you'd be much happier in the TSX. It handles a little better, better mileage, a little smaller, and... cheaper. My 2 cents.

Dude, you're a 20 year old college kid. Get an old POS and use the 13,000 remaining on tuition, or books, or room and board.

So i'm 19 and i just got a 2005 6MT TSX and i love it: the handling, decent acceleration (maybe bc it's a manual...?), the mpgs, and the price (13k) really just make it a better choice imo.

i used to have an 03 tl for a few years and i drove my dad's 07 tl enough that i got a pretty good feel for them--don't get me wrong, they're great cars and the speed is pretty intoxicating, but it's not like i need all that power (and the probable speeding tickets) and they're bulkier...i just think the TSX is more fun to drive.

Basically, I was in the whole TSX vs TL debate since I'm currently looking at purchasing an Acura. After test driving so many TSXs and TLs recently, I've ultimately decided that I'm going with the TSX because, as stated before by many, the handling and the less bulkiness.

After I used to drive the Dodge Ram pickup a few yrs ago, I didn't think I'd really care about bulkiness. And obviously, the TL is nowhere near as bulky as a pickup, but I think the TSX's handling--how terrific it is--won me over.

After looking at both TSXs and TLs at the beginning of my car searching process, I've now decided to strictly look at TSXs. It's not like they're weak by any means. It just doesn't stand up to par with the TLs in terms of power. There's nothing to be ashamed of with the power the TSXs give.
