Ok,

I have a down payment on a 2005 TSX with Navi (27,400 with a kick ass trade in..) It is due in Mid september from Japan.. I just test drove the TL for giggles and now I am contemplating going with that instead. TL with Navi off the lot would be like $34,000. It is a lot of car but for a good price difference too. I am not sure I want to pay that much, but the TL seems like alot of car.. Unfortunately, I only test drove the TSX once and it was not a Navi like i bought..

What do you think the best thing to do is.. With rising gas prices, TL burns a bit more too.. Any thoughts?

thanks

What's a TSV?

 

Both great cars in their own right. Drive both as much as possible and just make a decision. Their is no wrong answer imho.

 

I've been getting between 27-30 MPG.. I'm glad I went with the TL; More power, better re-sale, bigger interior and so on...

 

with MR1 both are very good, both have strong points;

TL: Stereo sound, navi touch screen, bigger, trunk bigger, 270 hp, 238pound ft

TSX: Stereo power, I-4, Gas, More Rev happy, More mods at the moment.............

we went with TL because of space mostly and engine

 

Same thing happened to me. Had the TSX on order, it was actually shipped already and had ported in san diego. been waiting 2 weeks for the car, and i test drove a TL.

mistake.

I never looked back. cancelled delivary on the TSX, and drove of with the TL that afternoon.

the power, bluetooth, MID, comfort was more than enough reason. the tsx has more mods, but I wanted that power. and I love every minute driving it. completely worth the upgrade in my opinion. BTW. I got the TL for 32,700 so you should be able to do just as good, or better given the time of year

HFL rocks. if just for the cool factor. nothing like being in your car with your already jealous friend and the radio mutes and you hear "you have an incoming call."

the TSX is an AMAZING car given it's a 4-cyl. I was shocked at the performance that car got.

but I LOVE my TL.


ps. as far as gas prices go, i get about 26-27 mpg per full tank.(30-32 hwy) (20-25 city) and A/C on auto at 72 always.

 

OTD for $34,000? what state is this? I am thinking about getting one but dont think I can get it that cheap in Cali.
