Ok, I have a feeling that I am gonna get reamed for asking this, im a , but I have searched the site for a while and cant find the answer. Sorry if it has been asked before (which im sure it has been asked thousands of times) but what is the differance between a reg. TL and the Type S? Thanks guys.

 

bottem line, SPEED. type s has 260hp where reg. tl has 225
there are also some diff. in the steering, throttle body, cams, etc. do a google search for all the details

 

The only real difference is the red Type-S logo...

You really should search just a weeee bit longer, or harder, or phone a friend...

 

he decided to save his phone a friend and decided to poll the audience

NOW gimme my REP POINTS!!!

 

Okay. Since you begged, I did...
<j/k, about the loser part, sorta>

 

that takes care of that Faizalstar

but one more thing, I test drove TL-p and TL-s before buying, and the S perforated seats hold you in your seat better imo, also the suspension is a little tighter, and feels overall like a more sporty handling car.

and don't forget about those white face guages

 

yes, u can't forget about those features as well that distinguishes the 2.

 

also you get the awesome nifty TYPE S shifter

 

.......and the Type S badge on the trunk!

You guys have been more than helpfull!! Thanks a lot fellas!

 

VSA, Torque-sensing steering system, interior upgrades such as perforated leather seats and inserts in the door panels, white-face gauges, Type-S shifter, more horsepower through tuning and upgrades, tighter suspension, 17" wheels and tires, etc.

 

Actually a buddy of mine has an 03 TL Type S and his seats aren't perforated? Anyone? He gets jealous when he sees mine! And yes, it IS a REAL Type S.


Also, the Type S comes with the distinction of having kids try to try off the badge to put on their own 1993 Civic Type S. The kids claim Honda just forgot to put it on from factory.

 

someone must have swapped his seats out and put tl-p seats in cuz Type-S should have perforated.

 

Not all TypeS comes with perforated leather inserts on the door panels. My 02 has the cutain style leather . I believe that you get the perforated leather inserts on the 03 Type S.

 

yeah i just realized that a few months ago....dunno which one i like more....what about you guys?

like the non perf leather inserts or perf?

i'm kinda in the middle....maybe the non perf has a more luxury look??

 

Non-perforated leather for me. Perforated leather works only on the seats and steering wheels.

 

Perforated for me, definitely.

 

nah, perforated is hot. It matches the type-s interior.
