Hey Tgif,

I'm curious as to a few things regarding the comparison b/w your I30 and your TL-S:

Which one is quicker, smoother, better build-quality, more luxurious, more fuel efficient, etc.

I've never really spoken to an I30 owner who also owned an Acura, so I'm very interested.

Thanks in advance,

Pete

(P.S. I'm a big fan of the I30 Sport rims, which ones do you like better, the TL-S or the I30 rims?)

The I30 is much better in build quality as compare to the TL-S.

Quicker-Of course is the TL-S. The engine is good and with the 260 hp. The Infiniti is only 227 hp.

Smooth and luxurious-This category the Infiniti wins it hands down. The moment you sit in the I30, you can notice the build quality is much better. In terms of the layout and the material that been use.

Rims-I like both of them, but the Infiniti wheels looks more sportier. I had seen the new wheels in the I35. It looks even better. However, the tires, Acura use better tires, Michelin vs. Bridgestone.

I mostly drive the TL-S to work. I enjoy the quickness and the responsive of the engine. The I30 is mostly a weekend drive vehicle. It is because my baby and my wife are in the car during the weekend. And I won't race anyone if I know I am driving the I30.

I must admit in terms of value. Acura wins on that one.

It is a CD-base one. So, it ahd 5 discs to cover the whole country. Mine only covers Cal, Arizona, and NV. It is bird-eye view system. I don't know how is it different from the Acura one.

TGif,

Thanks for the reply -- I think your I30 looks sweet w/ those rims. You have two very sleek, stylin' automobiles in yer garage. Keep us posted on how the TL-S continues to run!

Pete

Pete, can you make the same comparison as with your E320 4Matic against the ACURA?

I love those E class from Mercedes
They look classy and majestuous...

Thanks.
