I have a new 2003 3.2 TL Type S, and I could trade it in for a brand new TSX. What do you think I should do? To me it feels like the TSX has more features than the TL-S.

altough the TSX is lacking in power, it will definitely be MUCH more fun to drive w/ the 6speed than the TL.

no i think tsx is lower class than tl

sleepy

plus why would you trade in a more expensive car for a cheapre one

SimplyAcurate

Your right it is a lower class, But i feel it is in a different class. It feels more sporty than lux. Also the TSX has a lot more features than the TL.

It depends on what is important to you…and only you can answer those criteria.

I think a good argument can be made for keeping the TL, or the sliding into the TSX.

The two primary reasons I’m personally hesitant to leave my TL for a TSX is the TL seems significantly roomier in the interior, (particularly the front driver & passenger area) and I make use of the extra ponies. The TL will still beat the TSX 0-60, albeit by a small amount. Again, this may not be important to you-lol

In a nutshell, the best things going for the TSX is summed up in one word: Technology!
As a brand new Acura model, it incorporates auto engineering’s best refinements. The TSX will offer you the latest technology (as will the new 04-TL despite setting you back 36K).

I’m a Navi nut, and I appreciate the 8-inch screen offered in the TSX. It makes our TL Screens seem tiny in contrast. I also admire TSX’s better sound system and available MP3 player option-I would be all over that!

The good news is that both are awesome vehicles!

How does the TSX have more features?

The TSX does not have heated mirrors, memory seats, power passenger's seat, fog/driving lights or V6.

On the other hand it does have a better navigation system and an optional 6 speed.

All in all, the TSX is newer, but does not have more features.

you should do what you feel like doing. imo, the tsx is overpriced and not worth trading or buying right now

Should I trade my 2003 TL Type-S for a TSX ?

NO

...plus acura will probably slap on a type s emblem and up the power in the tsx....then u'll have wished u waited

Besides, the new TL will likely have the same new tech goodies in the TSX, and more. OTOH, if you want a new car now, and the TSX suits you, go for it. We won't be mad at you.

It does have more features. It has Drive-by-Wire, 6 Speed All-magnesium-alloy case Manual Trans, 360W stero system, 8 in LCD Voice Navi, Split/Fold down rear seats , Titl+Telescoping Steering Column, Dual-Zone Climate Control, Rear side curtains airbags. Projector HID, Remote Power Window Operation, LED Illuminated instruments, Turns sigs on side mirrors, and It does have Fog lights (accessories). If you can live without heated mirrors (useless in FL for me), or a V6 with more hp. TSX is a good trade in.

Thanks to everybody that replied to my question. I know what to do now. I'm going to wait for the 2004 model because it has mostly all the same features and perhaps more. Not only that it kinda has the same body curves. I called the dealership and they said it might come out in Oct. Thanks again.

Not unless you want one of use to pull up beside and tap dat!!!

Stick wit da TL, the TSX is new and acura has lots of probs with them and the other comp. out there (IS300, the new accord, C&3-series.), so wait a while if u really want a TSX, besides a type-s will b out soon

AcUrA3.2Tl

where'd u get this info? **about a TSX - S?**

slixx-tl

no way,
your tl-s is a way better car overall
plus i think it looks better than the tsx
just my thoughts...

SlyTLS

I just had the TSX for a loaner car from my dealer and I must say...I wasn't fond of it. The ABS is WAY to sensitive (I barely stepped on the brake and hit a bump at the same time and the ABS engaged immediately). I wasn't impressed by the front window defogger (think the TL's is much, much better.) Not to mention the lack of power.

If it were my 1st car I think I'd have liked it more but being that I've had a few higher quality cars I wouldn't get one.

If anything trade it in for the 2004 TL, but why go from a great car to a good car?

you will also go from 260 HP to 200 HP I4

vancityguy01

i think TSX would be a step up for lets say i guy upgrading from his integ or civic, still sporty, but got some class as well, TL is more upscale, get more respect rollin in a TL than a TSX, TSX is essentailly a 4 door RSX, or so i think.

songoku

The only feature that I like about TSX is Navigation system. But I still don't want to trade TSX over TL-S.
