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.

 

the tsx is a good car but for real why would you want to trade in your tl for that?

why downgrade?
to me the tsx is lower in every aspect than the tl-s

 

The TSX has a lot of little features that the TL doesn't have. The TL in 1 year is gonna look out of date, were the TSX looks more modern and there is not to many of them out there.

 

Sounds like you've made your decision. But as for myself, I'd have to disagree.

 

So should I keep it?

 

at least the TSX would be MUCH more fun to drive than the TL especially with a 6speed.

 

get new maxima and save 5k

 

That's what I was thinkin. Not only that but the TSX is more sporty.

 

Your right it is a lower class, But i feel it is in a different class. It feels more sporty than the TL. Also the TSX has a lot more features than the TL. Like the voice navi, rear side airbags. windows roll down with remote or the key, better stereo, bigger Navi screen, etc.

 

I had the same thoughts... so I actually test drove the car... everything in the TSX is nicer.. they've correct every mistakes that we have noted in our car. And the goodies on that car goes on and on...

these are the things that made me kept my car

1) More comfortable ride
2) More room for everything (TSX actually feels cramp compared to ours)
3) $30k for a 4 cylinder 4 door Japanese car? it is not worth it

If you don't see what I see in our TL... then I think you should go for the TSX and be happy in it.

 

Honestly, dude, I think it would be a mistake....the TSX is sportier-looking, but it doesn't beat the type s acceleration. 0-60 in 7.5 s with the 6 speed even isn't even fast. the Type S can do the 0-60 in about 6.2s. No comparison. Handling-wise, I really don't know....the Type S isn't bad for a front-wheel drive, but it can't really compete with a rear-wheel drive. If your ultimate goal is sportiness and performance, with little regard to entry-level luxury stuff, get the Lancer Evo....it'll spank ANY car in its pricerange, and many beyond....plus it cost about the same as a new Type s. The TSX is better off compared to the IS300...which I think is overrated, overpriced, and underpowered. It's acceleration times are atrocious given that it is such a lighter car, and comes with a manual tranny....but if you like the TSX more, then go for it...it's your money....just don't expect to whoop a Type S next time you have a street race.

 

If you want sporty, the RX-8's are just hitting the dealers as we speak.

As for the TSX, I test drove one right before I bought my TLS. Nuff said.

 

Duplicate post, but the TLS is still a better car.

More features, smaller navigation screen, but still a better car.

 

Before I purchased my TL-S, I was orginally looking at the TSX.

I test drove the TSX (auto) and then the TL-S right after it. That made my decision. There is no comparison between the two when it comes to power and speed.

You probably won't like the TSX after driving a TL-S.
