Finally Decided!

Well after trying to decide between the 2002 Maxima SE and a TL-S, I have decided on the TL-S! In the end the following factors won me over:

1. Solid rear axle in Maxima :o
2. Better service and courtesy cars for the life of my TL-S
3. Better handling/ride combo (in my opinion)
4. Better looks
5. and the color I wanted in the Maxima did not come with black leather (Grey Lustre)

Anyway, I bought a Satin Silver 2002 TL S. I was going to get Black but decided that it would not look very nice going through these rough Canadian winters

Thanks to everyone who responded to my 2002 Maxima SE vs. 2002 Acura TL Type S post. Your posts were very helpful!

I got the TL for many of the same reasons you did. My first courtesy car was a Dodge Caravan- nice huh!

I do find the design of the TL-S to be MUCH more appealing but will honestly say the Maxima is built with better QUALITY.
Good luck with your car HOPEFULLY you will not have some of the problems many TL-S owners are reporting on this forum.....
