OK,

I'm thinking seriously about trading and want to make sure I've got the main differences down. I'm looking at a TL-S Auto (base if you will). Please reply if you know of more differences. My 2005 Navi has 10k miles on it. Worth it for $6k difference on the trade??? More?? Opinions are welcome.

- 3.5 engine = +28 HP
- Transmission - paddle shift
- Type-S suspension
- Torque steer reduction
- Brembo brakes
- Seat & interior design
- Racing pedals
- Better Navi interface
- Wheels
- Tire Pressure monitor
- Quad Exhaust
- Switchblade key

 

dont know if the brembo's come on the automatic type s?

worse gas mileage

fog lights and DRL's


IMHO, not wirht the extra $$$. Wait for the 09 redesign with SH-AWD

 

It's only worth it if you trally want the type-s. But some other differences are:

-DRLs
-Improved transmission
-Back up camera
-red interior lightning
-bigger MID screen
-all new looking gagues
-MP3/WMA competible with noice cancellation

 

All Type-S have the 6MT brembos now, and the gas milege is the same for the 6MT and 1mpg worse on the auto type-s

 

yeah, I thought I heard something about that and edited my message, but you beat me to the punch...

20 and 29? Really....wow. I thought it was less. Hmm...I stand corrected then.

 

The Type S has some nice looking features on it. I love the tails and side markers. I think I'll be swapping them out. On the inside, sure I'd love to have the better navi and sound system. The horsepower, I can't get to where I'm going any faster without getting a cop involved. You can do a few thing to your 05 for the drive if you all ready haven't.

But do you want to be thinking this same thing in 2 years when the 09's come out.

 

Few other new things for the Type-S

New clutch design (feeler spring?)
New brake master cylinder design
New front sway bar (solid versus tube of previous 6MT)
Revised spring/damping rates for suspension
