Thinking of going from a TL to a TSX
Ok guys I need help with the fact that my wife thinks her 2010 TL SH-AWD is too big a car. I absolutely love the car, but it's not mine.
Was think of going to a TSX with a V6 & Tech Package. Is everyone happy with their TSX and how is the reliability of these cars?
Thanks in advance for any advise you can give.

I also thought the new TL was too big. The new TSX is even a little big for my taste. 1st gen was about right size-wise.
When cross-shopping the two, I also found the TSX had a much easier trunk to access. Even though the TL has more cubic feet, the V-shape of the opening and clearance height makes it difficult to load and unload stuff. Also, the TSX has a fold-down seat while the TL only has a pass-through and the TSX was much more fun handling-wise (compared to a non-SHAWD).
Reliability has been great so far. Only had the pinging and brake TSB's performed on my 09.

TSX V6 would be a good option, but you may lose quite a bit on the 2010 TL on depreciation. If you can find a used V6, that would cushion the blow. There are a lot more I4 model available if power is not a major requirement.

Ya that's what I thought as well. That is why I figured I would still stick with the Acura brand. Less of a hit.

I would take her TL, but I drive a 97' 4Runner with only 149,000 miles and I just love that truck. And I really like having an SUV for family trips.

it's a car-drive it
Did she test drive the TL before you bought it. I had a 2010 TL as a loaner car. I prefer my 06 tsx but then I rather have manual transmission vehicles. My husband and I own 3 vehicles that are MT. I picked out the tsx since I am the main driver.

TSX is not much smaller. If I was you Id make her keep it but if she really wants it gone then look at the IS250/3series or maybe A4. TSX is bigger than just about every entry level lux vehicle.
