My stock TL, gold and with no mods, attracts a few admirers... The TL is just too isolative and boring. The romance is over. I look at the car and can't find one reason I shouldn't love the car.
I had an econo box before and it was fine for puttering around town but out on the open highway I take the TL any day. TL=touring luxury.

Sounds good. Like I said, I have a civic and it is a great transportation car. I have a 50 mile commute and often leave the car at the airport. I drive 75-80mph and get 35mpg all the time. I basically don't worry about it. It is great to have the TL as well for a "nice" car.
BTW I have a full size 4WD truck to further round out my stable. My 3 cars are a nice combo, I think.

Actually, the radio is not so bad. It's 4x30 plus 2 tweeters. The MR-2 stereo cranks better than the TL, including a better subwoofer. The ride of the Civic is much better than our 92 Civic EX was.
As for depreciation, I already explained that I have done just fine with my trade-in value. I put $4500 into the TL when I bought it, and got $6500 back out!
If I want a TL again, I would get the 6-speed manual Type-S in a sporty color and never regret trading this one in.
I had the choice to continue paying $3300 more per year in gas and in payments for a car that I just drive back and forth to work. Trust me, I'll be making out better.
