I've test driven the TL and TL-S and the CL and CL manual tranny.

I noticed that the TL and CL base handled quite differently. Is there a difference in the specs/design?

I liked them all. I just have to figure out which one I liked the most. I like the TL base model the least.

I'm going to drive all five again (though I haven't drived the CL-S automatic).

Any ideas/ thoughts?

I am reluctanlty getting rid of my '89 Legend LS with the manual tranny. It's slowly falling apart at 186K.


Thanks for the help.

TL-S. Listen hun. It's just an amazing car. Guys who drive a TL-S are just...well....c'mon, look at the guys on this board. TL-S drivers are f*ucking amazing (I'm an 03 TL-P chick myself - it was decided the TL-S was just "too fast" for lil' KT) - anyway, I would honestly hold out a lil' bit till you see the 04 TLz...cause I think they are gunna be totally ill. I don't know any answers to your specs/design question. All I know is that I LOVE my TL-P and wouldn't give it up for the world - well maybe for an 04

Good luck with deciding!

I'm getting a TL-S in June. Apart from the extra umpff you get with the Type-S I was just really tired of sitting there wondering what life would have been like if I'd gotten the top-of-the-line model after I bought my last new car. After a few diguized mods it is/was kinda fun wasting people with a car they didn't think could.:flamer:

If you're used to manual, I suggest CL-S with 6 speed. If you're sick of manual TL-S. I wouldn't suggest any base models, top of the line is the way to go or you might regret it.

Amen to that. I regret not getting the type-s back in 2001. Then again, Acura didnt mention a peep about til a few months before its release. ALSO, NAVI IS A MUST> I regret everyday not gettin it, but good thing is, im gettin a in-dash motorized 7"lcd with dvd player soon

Depends on what you going to use it for. As for me, I use 98% of my TL-P for work and 100% write off on the mileage. The car gets me from A to B and that's all I wanted. I'm not into mods or driving fast since most of the time I'm driving in the city. Basically my TL is my mobile office so I wanted something that has a good ride comfort vs. the stiffness from the S.

I just ordered a Sony XAV-7W 7" motorized in dash lcd screen. Paid about $625 shipped. Got it cheap thru a hook-up at school. DVD player is Blaupunkt DVD-ME1 for about $125 shipped. For a setup like that at $750, I couldn't resist. Install should happen later this week.(I gotta look around and check install prices) Pics will follow.

this is me

If you're not waiting for the 04 TL.
definitely the current TL-S.
They just too sweet for the money!! minus the tranny that is. But the later models are suppose to be built with the "Redesigned" tranny.

No offense CL-S drivers. But if i wanted a two doors, i rather get the RSX-S in which it is smaller and more nimble.
