2003 Acura TL-P with navi, or a Infiniti I35 with navi? Both come out to the same price.

Its for my dads friend, so he cant have a RWD car. And NEEDS navi. So these are the only two cars i could think of under 30k.

 

I know nothing about the I35... I do know (as well as everyone else here) that the TL is a great car for the money and you certainly can't go wrong with getting it.

It gets my vote...

 

I'd probably take the Infiniti just cause you said TL-P. I'd want the extra 30hp.

 

Well i cant help to think the one is made in Ohio and has tranny issues and the other is made in japan I think.. but then again I dont know much about the car, so i wouldnt know if it has problems.

The guy buying it needs a reliable car.. as of right now he has a toyoya corolla with 260,000 miles!!!!

 

You're thinking of the G35, the I35 doesn't have 255 hp.

 

Its doesnt? Then what ya think it has?


I35 does have 255hp

 

Thanks for backin me up Crazy, and btw the G35 has 260 hp.

 

My friend's father was in the same dilema- Maxima vs. TL-P, but I changed it to the I35 vs. TL-P. My advice for him was the I35. It has a classier look, nicer interior, an engine comparable to the TL-S, but at the price of a TL-P, plus not everybody has one and they are discounted. My friend's dad agreed with me in everyway and now owns the I35....he payed 26900, down from 30k.

 

The price of 26,900... did that include Navi?

 

what about the Volvo S60? I believe a navi is available. Another option is the ES300...it's a little more pricey (and ugly) but his age group and up love them! The next gen Saab 9-3 comes out this fall and has a navi....My final recomendation is the X-type. I hear the problems have been fixed

 

no

 

Has to be UNDER 30k, with navi

 

ok then...my vote is still I35

 

What about the new Accord? I think it looks like crap, but it's still an option.

 

new Accord will probably be a lot more reliable then the TL...it'll have navi and be cheaper...then again all i know about the I35 is that it has a Maxima engine in it....seein as how he put 260,000 miles on the Corolla, a TL-p with a weak tranny wouldn't be too reliable, so the TL option should definately be thrown out...

 

My father-in-law just picked up an I35 for $29k w/o Navi. He really likes it and says the engine's torque is great.

 

then he got ripped off! As I said earlier, my friend's dad payed $26900, new w/o navi. They had 30 on the lot!

 

I35 all the way, much better made. The only thing TL has over the I is 5 spd tranny vs 4 spd and maybe 6cd indash but not sure.

 

The I35 has an indash 6 disc player too.
