TLS for TSX

Anyone traded thier TLS for TSX? I bought mine at Jan 03, if i bought a car like four months later, i swear it'll be the TSX. It got so much more cool and updated features then our tls. i love the voice activation stuff and the windows goes up and down when ur car is off.

Just wondering if anyone traded wand thinking aobut it. And is it worth it?

Last September or something, i asked a dealer and they wanted me to add like 5k-6k for a tsx if i want to trade. So it's like saying my 03 tls worth only 22k, what a rip off!!! And it was only 9 months old at the time. Geeze..

I wouldn't do this downgrade.

The TSX has no balls.

I had the TSX for the whole weekend and on my drive up to CT I was wishing there was a bigger engine. The car is actually pretty comfortable with awesome steering and control, but definitely not enough power. Maybe a TSX Type-S with a V-6, I'd consider that!

Would you really be willing to downgrade?

If you were looking for gadgets back in 2003, TSX was the way to go. If you were looking for horse power, TLS was the way to go.
Now, if you are looking for both, 04 TL is the way to go.

Windows go down in my TL-S if the car is off: as long as I do not open any doors after turning the engine off, the windows (and sunroof) activate for the following ten minutes .

I guess once we get used to the V6 "muscle" it's hard to reacquaint ourselves with a 4 cylinder. When we say it's slow, do we mean compared to the TL or is it really awfully slow?

A few friends of mine who have TSX's swear by theirs but are genuinely impressed with the power of the TL-S. I drove a stock TSX 6M and I can say, it's just OK. Highway cruising is fine as long as you don't try to pass someone with a V6. I was just wondering if with any mods, the TSX would gain some balls. Anyone here tried it with I/H/E mods, lighter rims, etc...?

Power aside, I was actually impressed with the TSX. I wish the 3rd gen TL was made that way. It feels much tighter. IMO better constructed than the 2nd Gen TL.

While I like the power of the V6 in the TL, part of me still misses the peppy and responsive acceleration that only certain 4 cylinders offer. My CRX so fun...it was 1 of the best cars I've ever owned. I could lay wheel in that thing forever--it was a blast!!

Long live peppy, manual 4 cylinders!!

Um that wasn't a "peppy and responsive" 4 cylinder, it was the fact that a CRX is extremely light with a short wheelbase.

In that regard the TSX probably does out slalom the TL but it's still a downgrade IMO.
