'10 TSX vs '08 TSX vs '08 TL
Let's see if I can make this clearer than mud.. 
Had an 08 TL w/ Nav which I loved. Super low miles, and then -- a flood took it from me. *moment of silence* Been looking hard in the past month or so at what to best replace it with right now. I'm pretty set on going with the TSX this time, as I want something a little sportier, but still high enough quality to drive donors around. I'm torn between an 08 TSX w/Nav, clean record check, with 14K++ miles on it for $20,500 or a new TSX/Tech. Anyone have thoughts on how my driving experience would be on either of these, versus the 08 TL? If I'm going to be disappointed in the '08, then no price makes it a great deal. On the other hand, if I'm going to be somewhat equally as happy with the experience between the two, then the '08 seems to be the obvious choice.
All thoughts welcomed and advanced thanks!

Consider a low mileage TSX navi 2006, then hondata reflash and enjoy it....1st generations are the way to go.
No comparison on the road feel between gen 1 and 2.
Just back from 2500 mile road trip averaged 30mpg at 70 mph, I have bad back and felt fresh after the trip.
A friend who shared driving owns a Cavalier pos asked me after some zipping past cars thru the Ozarks if it was a v-6.
He found it hard to believe it was a four-banger, the Hondata reflash price is now like 199.00.

Take a test drive on both.
The 1G and 2G TSX are both great cars, see how you like going from a V6 to an I4. Remember the 2g TSX has undergone some changes for the MY2011, so your 08 model may become more dated already.
Have you consider getting a 08 TL-S model?

The TSX buing built in japan, the quality of either gen is 1 up on TL. That being said, the smaller 04-08 TSX will handle better than 2nd. Hondata ecu will raise perfomance to small v6 levels and also raises redline from 7100rpm to 7500rpm. The hondata power upgrades are based on if you add intake/header/exhaust (32hp/28tq).
